when he puts his hand or arm on your shoulder you feel lighter
I agree. There is a genuine sincerity about the man.
I sure will. Thank you for finding the appropriate caption--it gives the photo much more meaning.
President Bush embraces "Gold Star" mothers Carol Thomas Young, left, and Jan Moncur, whose sons were killed while serving in Iraq. (Eric Draper/Courtesy of the White House)]
Colin Powell, Bush's friend and secretary of state in the first Bush term, knew what Armitage had done and never let on. He met with Bush countless times as the White House was being pummeled in the media and by Demo crats for outing a CIA agent to take revenge on her husband. Bush called publicly for the leaker to be identified. Powell knew the identity, but remained silent. Some friend.
Thanks :)
Today I have been resting my back..Haven't posted a line..so I decided the Dose might be a good tonic for my sore back..( and my impatience over it)
..It is indeed!..
What a delightful thread!! You really put together some terrific pictures and I love your opening.
May God Bless and Protect This Nation, Our President and Our Wonderful troops.
Oh, WOW! I didn't know those two beautiful women were old enough to be Gold Star Mothers. That DOES give the picture much more meaning.
WOW! I love the new guest house..........
But I am NOT moving so that you can have my castle.
By the way, Spot says hello and would you please send his squeaky mouse.
I have often felt like asterisking a statement about what the president is doing -- sometimes it's not so easy to decipher.
For you: 
I know ...
The treasonous left has been successful in distorting the facts about the WOT. I'm glad the president and the administration realize this and are fighting it head-on.
Yep, this is my poison: 
;)
And thank you for the compliments :)
Congrats on coming in 1st.
Thank you, Meg :) You're most welcome.
Actually in this instance it was not the AP but the White House Website, I have just checked the site again because that was the photo I used as my photo of the day and I was curious why I had not indentified them.
For some reason they did not

And we wouldn't have known if Deb hadn't found the caption on her own.
There are some sly dogs working over at AP, I tell ya :-/
Unfortunately this one we cannot blame on the AP see my above post
Faith suggested I request you add my son, Robert to your list. He is serving in the U.S. Army and stationed in Baghdad Iraq. Soon my brother's son, Jeremy will also be in Baghdad. By the end of this year Joshua, my sister's son will return for his second tour in Baghdad. Also, dandilion's daughter, Laura "Roxy" is somewhere in Baghdad with the U.S.A.F. - Thank you for your prayers.
Yeah sure. My name is on the Sanity Island lease. If you don't believe me, ask the landlord: 
And you can keep Spot :)
