Quote of the Day:
President Bush: I've had a grand experience in dealing with President Karzai. He and I have known each other for a long time. We -- I can remember when I was informed that our special forces rescued President Karzai during the liberation of Afghanistan. He was stuck out there wondering whether he was going to make it --President Karzai: Top of the mountain.
President Bush: We sent some good troops in and pulled him out. And he has served his country then, and he's served his country now as the President. And I admire your leadership and your determination to succeed. And I want to welcome you here. I want to let you know that the United States is committed to the people of Afghanistan. We will stand by your side, and do the hard work necessary to achieve our objective. And our objective is for you to become a thriving democracy, and to deny al Qaeda and other extremists a safe haven or a base from which to launch their murderous attacks. …
President Karzai: Life is better. Of course we have challenges, and the challenges will continue to face us as we move ahead. The success is already there, the picture will be completed.
You will be leaving office, Mr. President, together with the Vice President, in a few months from today, but I would like you to remember as you leave office that Afghanistan will remember you tremendously, in a nice way, with affection, and you are there in our memory, in a golden place. Come and visit us so we can show it to you in a manner that we do traditionally in Afghanistan.
It's an honor to have associated with you, to have had your friendship, and to have had your support, and to have had your patience with me -- (laughter.)

President Bush: My favorite exhibit was the 24-foot giant squid. The squid was brought all the way from Spain as a joint operation between the Navy and the Air Force -- (laughter) -- appropriately called "Operation Calamari." (Laughter.) I do want to thank our military for bringing the deal here, it is -- (laughter) -- it's worth looking at it. (Laughter.) Admiral, I don't know if you had anything to do with it, but it's -- if you did, it must have been a heck of an operation. (Laughter.)

She writes:
"Will you pass this along to the dose thread? I just talked with my granddaughter. Her husband just found out he has a blood clot in his knee. He went to Birmingham to see my dr. down there and he ordered a lot of tests to be done here and the results sent to him. He is 26 today. Let me tell you, I can not take any more bad news from this family. I am up to my head in stress. Thanks."
Prayers sent for your granddaughter's husband, for his family and for you, MB.
