Bush at noon yesterday in the White House for a two-hour long discussion concerning the war on terrorism, Poland's decision to buy the American F-16 fighter jets, and other issues that both countries have in common. The U.S. President emphasized that his country "does not have a better friend in Europe today than Poland. This is because we cooperate with President Kwasniewski like equal partners," he said. Aleksander Kwasniewski commenced the talks with a reminder that this is his second visit to the White House in the past six months, which is, "The best evidence for the two countries activeness and friendship". Before meeting with George W. Bush, President Kwasniewski talked with Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, and Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former adviser to U.S. Presidents on National Security.
