State of the Union Address

President George W. Bush delivered the 2003 State of the Union to a joint session of Congress, outlining the case against Saddam Hussein, proposing a major global HIV/AIDS initiative, and setting the administration's domestic and security priorities for 2003.

The speech publicly framed the administration's rationale for possible military action in Iraq, announced the administration's large-scale AIDS relief effort (PEPFAR), and set the agenda that shaped U.S. policy and congressional action in 2003.
