Extraordinary speech by Bush in words, and marvelous speech by Bush in delivery. What an historical, poignant, even sentinel moment. Romania. Yes, we have a friend. And Bush left nothing to imagine who the enemy is. Nor hid the evils of the past, or the slime that sticks on filthy deeds. I almost felt like a prince who was denied a kingdom now gets even, and a Romanian ghost who was removed from his love by criminal agents dressed in foreign wardrobes at last now gets laid. The phony liberal news is always pushing in our face strange little countries or their impish leaders who hate us, hate America. But, America can discover that there are so many other nations, small and large, who have been hidden from us by the phony liberal news which never gives them a voice. We heard one of those voices today in the crowds in Romania as Bush gave his delivery. God bless Romania. God bless America.

I watched it...slowed down somewhat by the intepreter doing his job, but excellent, and delivered under adverse weather conditions...Huge crowd. I wonder how many? in Revoluton Square.

[Senator Goldwater]

I just watched the speech on FOX and it was extraordinary. Bush, standing in the rain in front of throngs of soaked Romanians, hanging on his every word. Extolling the virtues of peace, strength, God and the American way of life. What a leader for the Free World.

When Bush walked down to the crowd after the speech, the looks on their faces said it all.

Reporters said up to 100,000. Great speech. We opened a thread in Breaking News when it started.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

So emotional to see people on the streets of a foreign country waving American flags rather than burning them!!

[raisincane]

God bless America and God embrace our President George W. Bush and "in his command", our armed forces.

I watched it, and it actually brought tears to my eyes.

Most extrodinary was the sign painted on the wall of a building. It has the Romanian flag and the US flag and the words, "Only Freedom can work such miracles". I would love to see a graphic of that as well as the rainbow if anyone has them.

Thank you!
