President Bush is in Romania today for the NATO summit, the last of his presidency. On Wednesday, Bush pressed US allies on increasing troop commitments in Afghanistan.

President Bush: “We must win. I agree completely. To ensure that we do win, France is sending additional forces to Afghanistan. The United States is deploying an additional 3,500 marines. Romania is adding forces, as are several other allies. We ask other NATO nations to step forward with additional forces, as well.”

Bush is also pushing the eastward expansion of NATO to include Georgia and Ukraine over Russian objection.
