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."
Welcome to Sanity Island.
"We should wait until it's officially, December 15th in Iraq, and declare it GEORGE W. BUSH DAY."
I second that motion!
"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..... :)"
MUST SEE VIDEO: "Go To H***"

With the President appearing at 11, 6 and 8 I felt today, the 14th, should be his day. Tomorrow belongs to the Iraqis!!!
My finger is purple and I had a little one ask me about it at Toys R Us. Her grandma thought it was awesome and said they may do it. A couple people asked about it at the Christian book store. Amazing, some don't know the Iraqis are voting! *shaking head*
Wow 30,000 in your area I did not realise when you said you had a large population of them how large. Do they all wear traditional dress or do some of them dress western?
Amen to that Ohio
Yep! See post 122.
I am so mad at you...I caught your flu.
It really hurts.
Most dress western. Some are Iraqi, and Kurds
and most are Chaldeans (Christian)
When Hussein was captured a large group of them were
in front of the Fed. court bldg. in their native dress
mostly Kurds playing their music and dancing, thanking
the US and signs saying thak you Pres. Bush.
Really great to watch in person.
You have all the fun!
I'm off to watch all of my GWB videos!
Night all!
Good night snugs. Sleep well!
G'night DrDeb! I'm waiting for the re-run of Brit's interview, since wasn't home to watch earlier. Pleasant dreams.
Good eye on the Christmas tree through the window photo. I missed that.
I like your anticipatory zeal for the warmth and glory of spring.
Where I live, urban means city central and suburban is the area/s around the city -- you have to go through somewhat of a commute to get from the suburbs to the urb. Suburbs tend to have fewer high-density / intensity businesses and are often called bedroom communities because they consist mainly of housing and stores that cater to people in their homes. For example, grocery, Starbucks, hardware, boutiques, theaters, Starbucks, craft stores, Starbucks, car service places, Starbucks, malls, that sort of thing.
I don't know what it is about the Little Drummer Boy song but I also love it. My mother did, too. I have a music box nativity that features a drummer boy among the animals, and plays that song. Perhaps it is the way the song reduces the gospel to its simplest form and message that is so appealing.
LOL .........
Dear Ms. Cat,
I agree with your assessment.
