Pinging you to the Sunday Dose, which has photos of the Vice President's surprise visit to Iraq, and which can be used as a "safe" live thread for the President's address later.

Good evening. Waiting for the speech; can't wait to hear the good news from Iraq and the caterwalling from the left.

"Safe live thread". LOL

I think a few uglies have already shown up on the other one.

Good for the VP for going to Iraq and watching the Iraqi soldiers train. I'm sure Hillary will take credit for the trip. Ack.

An Iraqi boy peers through a bullet-riddled gate as U.S. Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines Regiment, patrol Fallujah. The future of Iraq belongs to children such as this...

...and it is being assured by troops such as this: A soldier places a Santa Claus puppet at the entrance of one of the buildings of the U.S. military base in Kirkuk.

Hi, Wolfstar! Thanks for posting VP Cheney's speech. Caught a little bit of it on Fox during breaks in football.

Great idea, too, to have this a live thread for the speech tonight by President Bush. I've visited some of the threads on it, and the comments were in quite a range, with the usual suspects doing the usual bashing. Would much prefer to discuss it here.

Yahoo decided to repost this file photo from the Inaugural. For once, Yahoo didn't addt one of their surly captions. I know this one is a favorite on the Dose. President and Mrs. Bush dance on the Presidential Seal at the Commander-in-Chief Inauguration Ball at the National Building Museum in Washington, January 20, 2005.

Yahoo must be feeling a bit of Christmas spirit, because they are reposting some nice photos with straightforward captions. In this one, the First Lady speaks to children during an appearance at a Toys for Tots event in Metairie, Louisiana, December 12, 2005.

Children reach for artificial snowflakes during a Toys for Tots event featuring the First Lady and Santa Claus in Metairie.
