Great courage these guys have........no WONDER they don't like the President.
He makes them look like the wimps they are....
Last question. Mike.
Q Mr. President, in August you said that Katrina could -- the effects of it could test the strongest faith. I'm sure of some of the things that you saw today, that's the case, as well. What do you tell a young soldier or his young wife about how a loving God could permit or cause some of the things you saw today?
THE PRESIDENT: First of all, Mike, I'm conscious not to be trying to substitute myself for God. I am, on the other hand, inspired by the mom who told me upstairs that she prays every day and believes in the miracle of healing; that I think we see God's work here every day. I think when you find nurses and doctors who work around the clock, who come in at a moment's notice to save a life, I happen to believe there's a lot of divine inspiration to that kind of dedication and work. The parents I saw or the wives I saw, many of them were in prayer on a regular basis for their loved one.
And, you know, war is terrible. There's horrible consequences to war -- that's what you see in this building. On the other hand, we also see people who say, I'd like to go back in, Mr. President, what we're doing is the right thing, because many of these troops understand that by defeating the enemy there, we don't have to face them here. And they understand that by helping the country and the Middle East become a democracy, we are, in fact, laying the foundation for future peace. And, I, as the Commander-in-Chief, I am resolved to make sure that those who have died in combats' sacrifice are not in vain. And I am resolved to make sure that these kids who are recovering here, that have suffered terrible injury, that their injuries are not in vain by completing the mission and laying that foundation for peace for generations to come. And I'm optimistic we'll achieve that objective!
. . . what a man; what a president!
Tonight's bowl game was touch given that it involved my two favorite college football teams! However, I do believe OSU deserved the victory this year -- they had the better team!
At any rate, half my family is happy; the other half is suicidal. My sister-in-law (who is the world's biggest OSU fan) was on the side-lines with Coach Tressel -- she hosts a weekend (TV) show in Columbus and is one of Coach's staunchest supporters!!! Conversely, my sister and brother-in-law (both Notre Dame alums) are quite bummed -- they are friends with MANY ND players and were VERY hyped for the game. Oh well, such is life: There's always next year!
Night all! . . . I need to finish some reading before bed -- tomorrow is the first day of Winter Quarter classes at the University of Cincinnati!
I've been sitting here putting together a course outline, but fortunately our second semester doesn't start until next week. :)
my pleasure
Glad you liked it
Amen to that
Now, get to bed....
Thanks coming from you means a lot
What a great thread! Thank you,snugs!
They are losing this smear campaign in a big way. They side with protecting our enemies, and Dubya is fighting them on all fronts
Think about it... all you MSM folks and Dems
Great pictures! Thanks so much for your work! Hope you are doing well.
