In a join press conference with President Anzar of Spain, President George W. Bush had this to say: “Yes, listen, we have — we discussed the resolution today. We believe there is a mood to work together to achieve a resolution that will expedite the reconstruction of Iraq. The read from at least our diplomats at the United Nations is that the kind of atmosphere that existed prior to the war has changed, and that people now want to work together for the good of the Iraqi people. I think Jose Maria shares that sentiment.”
