"We have a unique opportunity to address the true threats of the 21st century. Together we have a great moment during our tenures to cast aside the suspicions and doubts that used to plague our nations. And I'm committed to do so. I said it in Poland and I'll say it again. Russia is not the enemy of the United States. As a matter of fact, after our meeting today I'm convinced it can be a strong partner and friend, more so than people could imagine."

27. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Vladimir Putin, Russian President
"As for the problem of nuclear weapon destruction. The official Russian position is known, I don't need to waste time going through it again. We believe that the 1972 ABM treaty is the cornerstone of the modern architecture of security. We proceed from the premise that there are elements that unite us with our partners in the United States."
28. Bush watching Putin talk
29. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Vladimir Putin, Russian President
"Taking into account the fact that the United States and Russia are like no other country in the world, especially in the fields of nuclear weaponry and weaponry of mass destruction. So on our side we have the unique responsibility to work together for stable security, to construct a new world peace. All this presupposes a firm, two sided and international cooperation for the strengthening of security of the 21st century. Any unilateral actions can only make more complicated the solutions to various problems and issues."
