Very quietly, Bush got an endorsement of 29 of the 34 Summit of the Americas countries. He met with presidents from Central America Free Trade Agreement-Dominican Republic countries and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to CAFTA. So I'm a little hesitant to say this was all a defeat for Bush.

Eduardo Gamarra
