00:01:54.311 - 00:01:56.618 |
| I am standing inside Plaza Major
in Salamanca, Spain, |
00:01:56.919 - 00:02:00.902 |
| where crowds are lined up for a kick-off |
00:02:01.001 - 00:02:03.112 |

a landmark summit. |

| to forge a new ground-breaking alliance
in the ongoing war on terror. |
00:02:09.949 - 00:02:14.101 |

Western and Arab leaders |

| will meet for the first time
to formalize this new coalition, |
00:02:17.497 - 00:02:20.934 |
| designed to, once and for all, put a
stranglehold on international terror. |
00:02:21.035 - 00:02:24.935 |
| Bring him up. |
00:02:25.354 - 00:02:26.892 |
| Tell us, Angie, what's the mood there?
-For the most part, hopeful. |
00:02:27.072 - 00:02:29.955 |
