On his final day in Israel, President Bush toured Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres joined the president. (Transcript)
From there the president traveled to Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee, following in the footsteps of Christ as he visited the House of St. Peter and the Church of the Beatitudes.
Ed Gillespie: The President had fun on the tour, laughing with the nuns so often I joked with Chief of Staff Josh Bolten I was worried someone’s knuckles were going to get smacked with a ruler!
There was a farewell ceremony at Ben-Gurion International Airport as President Bush boarded Air Force One. He said that he would return to Israel in May to celebrate the country’s 60th anniversary.
During the flight to Kuwait, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke to the press aboard Air Force One. (Transcript)
Q: So do you have any announcement of where we're going? Anything special?Secretary Rice: We're going to Kuwait. (Laughter.)
The Kuwaitis rolled out their own red carpet for President Bush as he arrived in Kuwait City. The president met with leaders there and spoke to them about Iran and the need to keep that country from developing a nuclear weapon.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island 
God Bless our President.
Darn .. just missed ya. Fantastic Dose, just touching
and informative ... and SO much work. Many hugs and
thanks!!
Loved the interspersed commentary from Ed Gillespie’s blog.
Our W will never forget what he saw and felt on this
momentous trip. May God touch and soften the hearts of
the Arabs who need to make a way for peace in their hearts,
for their people and for this world.
Amen and thank you for your freepmail a couple of days ago
THANK YOU!!! I KNEW he wouldn’t say that...thanks for taking the time to clear that up.
What is the “Dose”?
THANK YOU for posting this EXTRAORDINARY DOSE . . . The photos are stunningly beautiful and poignant!
Beautiful dose, beautiful presentation. Thank you.
I have a graphic which explains the dose I have posted it at post 69 - hope this explains this thread
Geesh....you sound defensive and I had NO idea what DOSE meant.
Damn rack that quote that nun could kick anybody a*** even including US President LOL! or better YET Hamas leader LOL!
I was not being defensive sorry it came over that way I just posted the graphic that we sometime post if we get trolls on the thread it was not aimed at you and I was not suggesting you were a troll.
It was just easier to post that then try to explain what the dose is.
I did not mean to upset you sorry if I came over that way.
besides, I liked her tagline.
Oh my goodness, I thought the nuns on either side of GWB were sitting down in the other picture! They're so small!
I don't know why (maybe 12 yrs of Catholic school?), but nuns wearing sunglasses always makes me smile.
Bless our President, bless the martyrs remembered at Yad Vashem.
Wonderful, historic photos..May Gay God bless his journey.
Nor to me I was just trying to explain what the dose is and made a mess of it :o)
No problem, and thanks Pippin!!
President Bush is such a charmer. He made the Sisters’ day.
