The President's hardworking National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice spoke about and took questions on the Global War on Terror's war of ideas, addressing the efforts the Bush Administration has taken to lead the world toward values and understanding that will bring a just and lasting peace, at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington D.C. today. Dr. Rice counseled Americans to be 'less critical of every twist and turn' in Iraq.
Retiring Senator Zell Miller, D-GA, will deliver the keynote address at the GOP Convention.
Dr. Condoleeza Rice talks with Sean Hannity (radio link) on military transformation.
The First Lady had a significant interview with Bill Sammon of The Washington Times, stating she believes life begins at conception and that she supports her husband's view on abortion. Asked if she was pro-life, she answered yes and stated abortion should be rare. "Mrs. Bush laughed incredulously when asked whether the press was fair and impartial in its coverage of a conservative such as President Bush. Her press secretary, Gordon Johndroe, laughed even more heartily." The twins will not be speaking at the GOP convention, she said. The short interview is worth the read. She described her husband as "very loving and compassionate and really sweet."
The interview excerpted further: "The first lady was asked whether she would be devastated if her husband lost. 'Yes, of course,' she said. 'Would we still have a life? Sure. Would we have a good life? Sure.' [Sammon asks:] Would Americans survive a Kerry presidency? 'They'll do a lot better,' she said, smiling ruefully, 'with a Bush re-election.'"
President Bush will be vacationing for a week at his ranch so we're not likely to be seeing a lot of the usual photos.
Enjoy your daily Dose of Team W @ Sanity Island!
Good to know! :o)
Finally finished with the care packages (and some cards) for the night!
Looks like I missed quite a bit...
Thanks Guffman! How are you?
I heard what Phancy did ;o)
Did anyone here catch the absolutely vicious interview one of CBS' shrill morning shrews did with Condi? The [clearing throat trying not to gag] "reporter" was angry, nasty, venomous. Condi Rice is normally unflappable, but even she was a little shaken by the verbal assault.
Good!
Catching up with the Dose...
i hope that question didn't offend you.
I have a tendacy to ask stupid questions.
snugs I will really be praying for you and your company. But i think everything will work out for the best. I don't think Bush will use sanctions for Iran.
Beautiful!
Was that the Hannah Storm interview, or as a fellow freeper called her Hannah Tropical Depresion.
Thanks Emily
LOL!
Both are fine...for now! She can make a ruckus sometimes ;o) (I'll get in trouble if she reads that, heh!)
phancy cracks me up! She's great...
You got it, Pippin! The military issues are the reason I came to FR to begin with, and this thing with Kerry's record really gets me fired up! Down with the heathen! :)
Thanks, snugs!
Well unfortunately I have to go now. Again it has been wonderful. Thanks everyone for the evening and thanks Gretchen for tonights pics.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HAPPY ANNIVERSARY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
G'night, Emily!
God bless!
Ditto. Your service is appreciated, Ken!
I also have family in the military and I feel Kerry is doing them a disservice, he MUST NOT WIN.
