President Bush had breakfast with Bob Gates, who will be sworn in Monday as the new Secretary of Defense.

He met with Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi in the Oval. Also in the meeting were Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Stephen Hadley, and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten. He participated in a video teleconference, that included Donald Rumsfeld, with combatant commanders and the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq.

At the State Department, Secretary of State Rice met with Iraq Vice President Tariq Ahmed Baker Al-Hashimi, and also met with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England, Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and Australian Secretary of Defense Brendan Nelson and held a news conference with Downer. Rice witnessed the signing of the Joint Strike Fighter Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Australia.

I know...just messing with you! ;*)

Sorry about the delay. Was tied up with a few phone calls.

So that painting is INSIDE the State Department??

Way cool!

(I've been in there, but the portrait wasn't where I was. Condi was live, though, so it was worth the trip. ;)

I was so pleased to finally meet & spend some time chatting with Anne of DC at the FReeper Christmas party Sat night

Oh, man.......TWICE, when I've been in D.C., I have missed getting to meet her. Glad you were able to connect up.

Thanks for all the picture pings, Dolly. I sure wish I could have gone to that party. Pictures are the next best thing.

But you knew it was Eagleburger - that was the key.

It was a guess which we can chalk up to watching too many Nightline shows before I knew better...

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know there was a 2nd part. I will have to watch the replay at midnight.

Hello missed you the last few days how is life treating you?

[GretchenM]

Hi snugs! Welcome "home," so to speak.

[snugs]

I wonder who it is?

[snugs]

I confirm she did :0)

[hoosierpearl]

The fact that this is your second toaster is why I am so glad you got it. Congratulations.

Turns out our sleuthing LuvyaDubya recognized it was Larry Eagleburger and found a larger version of it (posted later on this Dose).

Very Greek and American dish or that is what it sounds to me.

[GretchenM]

Aw, c'mon snugs! That's "red flag to bull," you know!

It was every way implied if not directly written but I think I do remember reading an Email about being able to enjoy the unwrapped's before Christmas. =)
