See post 98. My comments were based on the message I thought he was trying to deliver, or at least the impression they made on me. The text is at the post.

From mediafax:
.... The promises made by the Alliance to support Romania are "sacred", the US president assured, "we will keep our promise". "Should any nation threaten Romania - US will stand by your side", said president Bush. "Already our troops are side by side in Afghanistan, already Romania has joined the global war on terrorism and we thank you."
He then switched to US fight on terrorism saying the world has suffered enough from fanatics who tried to impose their will by fear, and mentioned the Iraqi regime that NATO and its allies are now confronting.
After the warning given to Iraq, president Bush referred to the US relationship with Russia, assuring once again that NATO's latest expansion till Russia's borders and the inclusion of Romania in the Alliance should not be viewed as a threat to Russia.
"A peaceful future Romania will strengthen the Alliance and will be a bridge to Russia", he said. "Russia has nothing to fear, because Russia needs peaceful stable neighbors like Romania. As I told yesterday to president Putin, there is no need for a buffer zone", between the Alliance states and Russia.
P.S.Finally Romania is breaking away from Russia !
Beware of Russia ! The will never forget that you have defeated them !
