PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: After spending about 24 hours at Camp David, the President and Mrs. Bush returned to the White House early to attend the annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service on Capitol Hill. He was joined by Attorney General Al Gonzales, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, and Secretary of Homeland Security Mike Chertoff, as well as FBI Director Bob Mueller and the Director of ATF, Carl Truscott. The Congress was represented by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Senator Pat Leahy and Congressman Dave Reichert, from the state of Washington, among many others. Reichert served as a law enforcement officer for over 30 years, and received the 2004 National Sheriffs Association Sheriff of the Year Award. Singer Darryl Worley performed "I Miss My Friend."
In other administration news, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice made a surprise visit to Iraq. On a lightning visit, she urged Iraqis to be patient, saying the insurgency can be beaten with the help of a strong political alternative. "The insurgency is very violent, but you defeat insurgencies not just militarily," Rice said after meeting with officials in Baghdad and the northern Kurdish region. "The Iraqis...are now going to have to intensify their efforts to demonstrate that in fact the political process is the answer for the Iraqi people."
QUOTE OF THE DAY: From the President's address at the memorial service today.
We're a nation built on the rule of law, and the men and women who enforce those laws uphold America's role as a beacon for fairness and peace. And, today, we honor 415 new names added to the memorial wall.
Among them are Detroit police officers Matthew Bowens and Jennifer Fettig. The officers were making a routine traffic stop when the suspect opened fire. Though Officer Bowens had already been shot several times, himself, his first concern was for his injured partner. Both officers gave their lives in protecting each other and their fellow citizens, and this nation of ours will always honor them.
Danger to law enforcement can come from the outskirts of a community, as it did to Bradford County Pennsylvania Deputy Chris Burgert. He and his partner, Deputy Mike Van Kuren, were shot last March while trying to serve a bench warrant on a known criminal. Chris had been leading a drug investigation that often brought him face to face with danger on rural back roads. And his bravery had brought a string of successes against a dangerous and volatile set of criminals. His acts took unusual courage, and our nation will be always grateful for his sacrifice.
Danger can come even in what one thinks is routine investigation. Last May, Arizona police officer Don Schultz was diving for evidence in a murder case when he lost his life. Officer Schultz had been on the force for 19 years and was one of the department's master divers. He died in an act of devotion to duty that was common to him, and will always remain extraordinary to us. These are just the examples of the brave we honor today.
Every generation of Americans has produced men and women willing to stand watch over the rest of us. Every generation has lived under the protection of law enforcement. We must never take for granted the police officers of America.
For each friend or family member here today, the engraving on the wall will always glow brightly around one name. We cannot soothe your grief or repay your loved one's sacrifice -- but their names are inscribed permanently on this memorial. We acknowledge the lasting debt we owe them, and offer the solemn thanks of a grateful nation.
They hear some off the cuff garbage at a party that some guy got from a factless website, and they absorb it into their psyche like gospel.
Later they write a story and throw it in to juice the story and it has never been verified. But they have the mind set that it's the truth.
Look at Dan Rather. He was so convinced of the lie that he didn't need facts or evidence or research.
Iran, Russia and North Korea were trading partners, but I don't think Iran was dealing with Saddam, at least I have never read any serious reports claiming they were
But for now, it's best to shoot one duck at a time.
My view also. N. Korea, Iran, Syria, etc. will all be
delt with differently.
Saddam sent his fighter jets to Iran for safe keeping just before the first Gulf War, so he was not adverse to dealing with them at the enemy of my enemy is my friend time.
Saddam and Iran were both dealing with al Qaida. They weren't necessarily talking to each other. They were both helping al Qaida.
That's the sense that they were coconspirators.
I believe Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, N. Korea and the Taliban all had ties in some form or another. The whole place is a Hornets nest of radical Muslims looking for a cause to die for
We're in for a long haul.
Meanwhile I'm hoping for a milestone, like confirmation that Zarqawi is in Hell.
It's just a matter of time my friend.......Just a matter of time :-)
Col David Hunt was on Geraldo -- furious -- spouting vulgarities, even, describing how criminal this was .. and thinks they need to be charged with treason. He blistered them.. more angry than I've ever seen him, and rightly so. They had their wimpy editor on spouting fluff.

I watched the Peace Officer's Memorial on C-Span last night and President Bush stayed there for at least two hours, hugging, kissing, signing autographs, having pics made with those attending. It was awesome. I'm surprised C-Span showed that much of it.
The introduction of President Bush was fabulous, his speech was great, but that lingering, as if he had nothing else to do, with those attending is something I will NEVER forget. I taped it, although I paused it many times and at times forgot to click back on record, it was still a VERY long time.
Can't remember what time it came on, but it seems like around 2:00 or shortly thereafter and it was still on at 4:30 this morning. I dozed several times.
It's worth getting a copy from C-Span if they'll have the whole thing on it. If I had two VCRs, I would make some copies, but since I also left out some sections, everyone would probably like to have the full version.
Did you read that Senator Allen was in the running for President? Last I read, he was ahead of Frist. I like Frist, but don't think he could become President--unless he gets some speech therapy.
Since most lawyers are in the same class as the media, there's probably no one who would take the case.
Hi, Pirate!
I think Allen connects better with conservatives. I guess we'll see how Frist handles things this week. I really like Allen and he seems to have a lot of charisma.

I love the fuzzy dice! Do airplane cockpits have rearview mirrors?
