"It's been my honor to welcome a friend, President

of a free Iraq. He is a man who's been on the front
lines of helping to unify Iraq and to help Iraq recover
from a brutal regime -- that of Saddam Hussein. I
complimented the President on the progress that the
government has made. I complimented the President on the
fact that as security has improved, he and his fellow
officials are reaching out to all aspects of society to
help people realize the blessings of a free life."

altered the way government engages human need. The 2008
National FBCI Conference "Innovations in Effective
Compassion" is designed to highlight, explore and point
to the future of this record. The two days will
emphasize how the OFBCI has leveled the playing field
for faith-based groups, delivered real results for
people in need, engaged new partners, and expanded at
the state and local level.
