I don't think that anyone, anywhere, could ask for better imagery. Just look at the placement it got. Even more interesting, there is not a story about the Secretary of State on the front page.

Applauding soldiers, the American flag, stylish in all black - those boots are made for walking, no doubt. I know the editorial board over at the Post loved General Powell, but he never got anything like this.

This pic is even better! Even tho you can't see The Boots. I love that even the troops' wives are ecstatic. WOO-HOO!

I've always had a thing for women who wear black and women who wear boots.

Great photo. Proud to have Dr. Rice as my Foreign Minister.
