President Bush delivered the fourth of four speeches on Iraq. Today's speech was given at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in DC. Video of the speech is available at CSPAN. Speaking about this week's elections in Iraq, President Bush told the audience, "We are living through a watershed moment in the story of freedom." Text of today's speech.
Brit Hume, Fox News, interviewed President Bush at length. The interview is being broadcast now, and should be rebroadcast in Brit's "Special Report" on replay tonight.
Addressing the Heritage Foundation, Condi Rice said, "The world has shirked its duty to help prosecute Saddam Hussein. The international community's effective boycott of Saddam's trial is only harming the Iraqi people, who are now working to secure the hope of justice and freedom that Saddam long denied them. ... I am sad to say that the international community has barely done anything to help Iraq prosecute Saddam Hussein."

Has everyone painted their index finger PURPLE?
FYI: Newt is giving a great civics lesson on H & C now!
Thanks, I will find more info as soon as I can. I will get on it tomorrow and see if they can use anything besides our support and gratitude. He was in Iraq before and was previously wounded,but not this bad and he is only 22. I will keep you posted. Thanks again, I know where your heart is.
If you would freep mail to me this brave Marine's address at Bethesda, my family and I would be happy to send him a Christmas card/gift!

I am not going to paint my finger but I am going to wear purple tomorrow.
I'm going to Walter Reed and BNH tomorrow afternoon (around 5:00PM est) Walter Reed first and BNH around 6:30 PM est, so a Ward# or Room# would be lots of help. If you can't find it in time, don't worry, I will find him, cause I have his name
Don't know if this photo will show up, an Iraqi woman here in San Diego voting. One of over 30,000 that live here.
And his finger is purple! Go Newt!
He has changed history with his courage and conviction............and a little help from our troops. ;)
What a GREAT leader of a GREAT country!
And may God bless the people of Iraq as they struggle to build their free land.
Like that Iraqi lady said.............the people who don't appreciate America and President Bush can...........oh, wait a minute. I don't say those words, but I agree with the sentiment..... :)
I do, They can go to Hell!!! :-)
Are you watching H and C? Is that a purple tie Alan is wearing? doesn't that go against the dem code?
