Roh said questions had abounded about possible differences between the United States and South Korea on the best approach, but Bush put him at ease.
"Every time I meet you, Mr. President, in person, I come to the realization that there indeed is no difference between our two sides with regard to the basic principles," Roh said. "In fact, we are in full and perfect agreement on the basic principles."
He added, "Whatever problem arises in the course of our negotiations and talks, we will be able to work them out under close consultations."
Roh said he was "very certain" the U.S.-South Korean alliance remained strong and will "continue to remain solid and staunch in the future."

He must really be disappointing the anti-American crowd that helped to vote him into office. |

One report says Roh caught Bush off guard at the press conference by asking him if the alliance was in good shape. (Since Bush doesn't do unscripted speeches, I think I'm safe to say catching him off guard is not all that hard to do.)
Since it is perfectly clear to anyone who watches the news from South Korea that the alliance IS in disarray (to put it nicely), I thought it was politically sharp of Roh to get Bush on tape saying everything is hunky-dory. It makes it more difficult for Roh's critics to state the obvious. |
