Me too! Makes you want to roll up your sleeves and support him even more. This was an unbelieveable journey he made to Iraq.

One side highlight was stealing the front page from Ms. Clinton. She didn't even make my paper she was over there!

Bush who surprised U.S. military troops stationed in Iraq with a secret Thanksgiving Day visit to personally honor their service and sacrifice at the Baghdad International Airport, November 27, 2003.

This is one of the best pictures I've seen! It's one some other FR threads, but IMO it can't be shown too much.

The carrier landing was a great symbolic gesture, but this act goes far beyond that.

America has a true leader, and that won't be forgotten by anyone, even those who oppose the leadership.

This was a very big moment in so many ways.

If Andy Card was the driving force, he deserves a raise.

So I think the American people appreciate me going to express their sentiments to these kids.

I'll bet she was madder than Mo Dowd reading about Michael and Catherines' newest baby.

As I was at my sisters, helping cook Thanksgiving dinner, (she has a tv in her kitchen, God love her) and it was announced on FoxNews that Pres. Bush was in Iraq. I let out one hell of a whoop! The first thing to came to mind was......"Hillary will crap her pants when she finds out!"

Our entire family was on cloud nine all day, with the exception of my daddy, who is a "Roosevelt Democrat". Out of respect for him, we kept our celebration rather low key.

However,during our annual "what we are thankful for" speeches before dinner, Mom said, "I'm thankful for our President who has shown so much courgage today in supporting our troops". Daddy just nodded his head.
