President Bush arrived in Sydney, Australia yesterday to attend the annual Asian-Pacific Economic Conference (APEC). Today he met again with his friend and ally Australian Prime Minister John Howard as they toured Sydney Harbor.

The two leaders then met with Australian troops on Garden Island Naval Base where they joined them for lunch. President Bush personally thanked the troops for their continued service in the War on Terror. (Transcript)

Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino: “[The president] said he was very proud to be with them, they're very courageous. And one of the things I overheard him say to some of the troops I was sitting with is that our military is very proud to serve along with them” (Transcript)

Prime Minister Howard and President Bush held a press conference this afternoon at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney. Afterwards, they formally signed a defense trade agreement and then joined each other again for dinner.

Back in the States, First Lady Laura Bush held a roundtable with the press at the White House, discussing the situation in Myanmar (Burma). The Bush Administration condemns the country’s recent crackdown on pro-democracy activists and the president is expected to speak about the matter during APEC.

President Bush: "It's inexcusable that we've got this kind of tyrannical behavior in Asia. It's inexcusable that people who march for freedom are then treated by a repressive state … And those of us who live in comfort of a free society need to speak out about these kind of human rights abuses." (Transcript)

I’m watching the debate and wish Fred were there. Mitt underwhelms me. Can’t vote Rudy - he’s too leftist. Go Duncan and Fred! Tancredo not so bad too.

If they are on the advance team they will engage you sometimes. If they are actively watching the pres NO chance to talk.

If you are taking their pix that is the best way to have a conversation as they come towards you with a look like they will be tackling you in a few seconds!

I was always there VERY early as were the advance teams. They were very professional & no easy chit chat. They answered questions or referred you to someone else,
