Is it just me, or does it seem that the vice president has gained some weight? He needs to be very careful about that, considering his heart history.

My goodness I sent that ages ago that one must have gone by sea - it was so long ago I have even forgot what I sent as it was I think during early days of dad’s time in hospital - so much seems to have happened since then.

There did not seem to be an outstanding photo of the President today so I thought the one of the First Lady was very appropriate

I didn’t look to see if it had a post mark date. Some of the chocolate didn’t make the heat on the way over. But already had to slap hubby’s hands! He thinks I should share with him (I will later, but he has to understand, I get first pick!) Thanks again!

MUST READ . . .

STABILITY MUST PRECEDE ANY PULLOUT, SOLID MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE
By Raghavan Mayur | Posted Monday, May 14, 2007 4:30 PM PT

Many Democrats and now some Republicans are calling for America’s withdrawal from Iraq. But as President Bush made clear with his veto of a war-funding bill that included a timetable for withdrawal, a pullout isn’t likely.

That, however, hasn’t stopped critics from insisting that our soldiers come home and proclaiming — as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did — that “this war is lost.”

For its part, the White House has warned that leaving Iraq before it has been stabilized would likely cause, as spokeswoman Dana Perino put it, the collapse of the “fragile young Iraqi democracy (and) the killing of countless innocent civilians.”

It also would provide a “safe haven” from which al-Qaida and other terrorist groups could mount attacks against Americans and others it deems enemies of their ideology, the White House says.

On these points, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll, Americans side with the White House.

COMMENTARY: THE BOOKWORM PRESIDENT
By ARNAUD DE BORCHGRAVE
UPI Editor at Large
[If you can ignore the obligatory inclusion of MSM talking points/unnamed (’made up’) sources, you will enjoy MOST of this commentary!!]

WASHINGTON, May. 14 (UPI) — Two of Washington’s best-informed men confirmed it so it must be true. President Bush and his consigliere Karl Rove bet on who had read the most books in a year. Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, told friends Rove won with 117 books and Bush was a close second with 104 books.

Unhappy over his loss to his close confidant, Bush asked for a recount — in words. And the president won by 1.7 percent. The story is not apocryphal. In fact, none other than McConnell’s predecessor as the nation’s top spymaster, John Negroponte, now deputy secretary of state, confirmed it. The president, he explained, reads two to three books a week and does not watch television. Most of them are history and biographies of famous statesmen (and three stateswomen who took their countries to war, namely Britain’s Margaret Thatcher, Israel’s Golda Meir and India’s Indira Gandhi).

Bush identifies with George Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Truman and on the other side of the pond, Winston Churchill, all men of courage who did what was right when it was most difficult. From the order to obliterate Hiroshima and Nagasaki that killed instantly 150,000 Japanese to avoid the loss of an estimated 1 million American lives in an invasion of Japan; to the recognition of the state of Israel against the advice of World War II’s most prestigious military leader, Secretary of State George C. Marshall; to the decision to repel North Korea’s invasion of South Korea; to the firing of the immensely popular Gen. Douglas MacArthur for disobeying the president; to Ronald Reagan’s defeat of the evil Soviet Empire, Mr. Bush sees his decision to invade Iraq in the same historical league.

President Bush showed a recent visitor a portrait of Lincoln to talk about the tremendous odds that president encountered in his decision to go to civil war to free the slaves. Bush had done something roughly comparable in his decision to free 26 million Iraqi slaves from Saddam Hussein’s tyranny.

Bush’s model for resisting and defeating Islamist extremism’s global campaign to restore the caliphate and destroy Christendom is Churchill. Isolated in the 1930s on the back benches of parliament, his clarion calls for backbone against Hitler’s Europewide ambitions went unheeded until World War II broke out Sept. 1, 1939 — and then still didn’t get the draft to lead until the Nazi blitzkrieg in May 1940.

President Bush, sans Britain’s Tony Blair, now sees a parallel with Churchill who soldiered on alone until Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, forced the United States to World War II. In Bush’s perspective, the mullahs’ Iran, the Iraq insurgency, al-Qaida, transnational terrorism, all add up to a mortal danger for Western civilization.
