At the White House, the president met with current and former Iraqi citizens, victims of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Laura Bush continues her African visit (with her daughter, Barbara). She criticized Senator Clinton for suggesting that the Republican-controlled House is run like a plantation where dissenting voices are ignored. "It's a ridiculous comment," Mrs. Bush told reporters when asked about the remark. She headed home after reaffirming the U.S. commitment to help Nigeria treat AIDS patients and stem the spread of HIV. She said she hoped that "one day an entire generation" will be free of the disease that has ravaged Africa. Earlier, Mrs. Bush drove to the dusty outskirts of Abuja to visit a small AIDS clinic where a young woman told her of how drugs helped her escape death from the disease. Mrs. Bush visited a hospital, where there were enough anti-retroviral drugs to treat 500 people over the next year. It is the first U.S.- backed shipment of the drugs St. Mary's has received through President Bush's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Americans Must Understand U.S. is at War: "The American people must remind themselves every day that the United States is at war, Army Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, speaking at the American Enterprise Institute here, said today."

My approach is smiling Americans versus scowling-hatefull-(a)mericans.

What do you want on your toaster?
Does anyone have the collage showing the beautiful smiling Republican women vs. the ugly DUmmie hags? That would be a good one for Cobra to send to liberal friends. I thought I had it saved and couldn't find it.
LOL. Hi, snugs. How is the weather?
Raining but not too cold
It's windy as all get out here. Yesterday it was in the 70's; today in the 50's. It's so windy in the south, the space shuttle has been postponed for two day. Maybe tomorrow.
I have it...sent you a private reply for your e-mail...

You forgot to ping everyone :-)
I pinged but FR hung up on the ping and I didn't catch it. Will ping all now.
Dose is here (delayed ping due to software glitch).
I love to hear children and new Christians pray, because they're not so caught up with the cliches we come to use as adults or as Christians for many years. Sounds like you did a good job explaining things to her.
Great addition to the thread, snugs. Thanks.
The First Lady seems to put a smile on everyone' face.
Thanks for the good photos this evening, Gretchen!
Did you see the photo I put up of the VP in the desert I find that photo interesting.
Please check with Cobra64 for preferences (I will only delay things by being in the loop).
Just noticed you did see them thanks
