[0:09] You're with CNN. We're going to take you

[0:11] live now to Talon, Estonia, where US

[0:13] President George W. Bush, as I was

[0:14] saying, just a few moments ago, and his

[0:16] Estonian counterpart Thomas Hendrickk

[0:18] Ilves are meeting ahead of NATO talks

[0:21] later today in Latvia. They're speaking

[0:23] with reporters right now. Let's listen

[0:24] into what's what's going on.

[0:28] And it is very open.

[0:31] We have had

[0:34] as well as with the prime minister on

[0:38] truly prove that Estonia and United

[0:42] States are close allies. One of the main

[0:45] messages today was the message of

[0:48] freedom

[0:50] to those states who like us have chosen

[0:54] the way to democracy and freedom and

[0:57] will not bow to pressure from any of

[1:01] their neighbors and by these countries,

[1:04] Georgia, Ukraine, the Balkan states. We

[1:06] should not hesitate to support these

[1:08] states.

[1:13] We should not falter when any of our

[1:16] allies are losing hope or faith and we

[1:19] will help them in every way we can.

[1:23] We will also not falter in making

[1:25] Afghanistan more secure

[1:28] where Estonian soldiers are helping to

[1:31] pro protect the welfare of Afghan

[1:33] citizens. Again, together hand in hand

[1:36] with the United States,

[1:39] NATO's greatest foreign operation

[1:44] in

[1:45] the uh the postcold war period. It is

[1:50] the greatest challenge of the post-war

[1:52] period.

[1:55] It is a challenge not only for the

[1:58] neighbors of these countries but also
