I appreciate your help, Vladimir, on getting that Security Council resolution through today.

I appreciate many of you taking time away from your families to make sure this event goes the way we want it to go, secure and peaceful.

We think that this resolution will be a good basis, a good foundation for enhancing stability.

Canada is a great friend, and you've been very cooperative at figuring out ways to cooperate in the war on terror.

I look forward to continuing our dialog in a spirit of cooperation and friendship.

These nations understand that a free Iraq will serve as a catalyst for change in the broader Middle East.

I ask for God's blessings on you all and the country.

I am confident that the resolution, the United Nations Security Council resolution on Iraq, will be adopted today.

Hopefully we can resolve the mad cow quickly.

I always enjoy talking to my friend Vladimir Putin.

I appreciate your willingness to work on promoting freedom around the world.
