Secretary Powell: Thanking the British Government [audio clip transcript]

[audio]

 Secretary Powell at Joint Press Availability with British Secretary of State of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Jack Straw:

...take this opportunity to again thank the British Government for the strong support that they have given to us in this time of crisis since the 11th of September. As always, we can count on the United Kingdom, and they have come through again. And likewise, we deeply appreciate their military contribution to the campaign.

But more than just these political-military things, we deeply appreciate the outpouring of support that we received from the British people during this time of challenge and crisis... We also -- what we have to do with respect to putting in place a broad-based government and what we have to do with respect to helping the people of Afghanistan get on a path to a better life.
