Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, May 20 (UPI) -- President Bush met separately Friday with the prime ministers of Denmark and Greece on issues ranging from Iraq to the spread of democracy.
Denmark, which supported the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein, has more than 500 soldiers in the south of the country and recently approved an extension military participation in Iraq for at least eight months beyond June.
Greece has no troops in Iraq but is a key NATO ally.
The full extent of discussions were not disclosed, but Bush said he and Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis about efforts to effect an Israeli-Palestinian peace and democracy in the greater Middle East and Eastern Europe.
"It's my second visit with President Bush within almost a year," Karamanlis said. "And I'm happy to say that this reflects the excellent bilateral relations we have, and, of course, our determination to further our partnership to promote the areas of mutual interest, the common goals we have."
