President Bush headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico today to join the prime ministers, presidents and representatives of the 21 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation nations during the APEC summit. Bush spoke to the media while he visited with Mexican President Vicente Fox, and reiterated that the US is prepared to strike Iraq on its own if the UN does not decide on a resolution. The President also addressed immigration issues by stating, "The long-term answer for the migration issue is to work in a way that encourages commerce on both sides of the border so people can find jobs here in Mexico, for starters. That's the long-term solution." Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

I wonder if Laura has swept the porch yet.....

Hey, Mike! We just drove through your neck of the woods last night on our way back from Ft. Lee! (Where, exactly are you again?)

It ended up being a BIG mistake to go through Maryland, though (instead of through W. Va and VA as we did on the way out).

The entire state of Maryland was one solid traffic jam! Do you know what was up last evening? Then in PA it was raining and foggy the whole way, so the mountain driving was awful! We didn't get home until 2:30 in the morning!!

We drove right by the rest stop where the snipers were caught. Praise the Lord that the killing has stopped!

Are you and yours doing OK now?

Evening rintense; this is much appreciated after a particularly stressful week all around, thread-wise (so much violence going on around the world). Thanks for all your hard work.

[ladyinred]

What thread? You really must share with us all so we can all get flamed. I am getting rather used to it now! I feel like an official freeper finally! :_)

A Bush babe, no doubt...

I think of them would rather be somewhere else...

[rintense]

Yo. Sup wit you?

[rintense]

Howdy!

Hello. Sharp eyes on the body language, Rintense. Fox has been in a snit since Mexican immigrant and trade issues went on the back burner after 9/11. I have never trusted him. He is a "my way, one way" kind of guy.

[rintense]

Oh geez. Give it up. There is no way they will ever be reasonable. Trying to talk with them is like talking to a woman with PMS!

[rintense]

Hey there, MJY!

[rintense]

Yep. And Fox's administrations incredibly stupid stance that the Southwest US belongs to them doesn't help matter either. My fear is that Mexico will secretly stab us in the back. Tell me, what group has lots of money, and seeks to dominate the world? Ok, now, what country south of the US needs a heck of a lot of money...

It's this one.

Losers, methinks. What's funny is that they claim women shouldn't be in politics, and they're some of the people on FR who win the prize for cluelessness!

[rintense]

You're very welcome.

Condi Screams... "Don't do it George, Don't Push him"

[rintense]

Exactly. And I don't think Dubya trusts him either. Colin Powell made some interesting remarks regarding immigration and the passing of the Homeland Security bill.

[ohioWfan]

I'm done now. I did have some fun while I was there, though. They're so stupid it's almost amusing!

[rintense]

Well there's only so many times you can beat THAT horse.

[ohioWfan]

I agree with your body language observations, rintense. These two men.....if they indeed really ever were.....are no longer friends.

It is not a good idea to mess with our President. Fox is no longer trusted, and he will live to regret it, IMO.

Thnak you for our daily dose. I don't always post something, but I am thankful every time I get to see the "real" activities of Dubya.

You have nailed the pics of GW and Fox looking stiff. There is definitely an undercurrent of stress between the two. The bond of friendship is no longer there. Mr. Fox is living up to his name, he tried to be sly like a fox, only it doesn't work with Bush.

[McLynnan]

I missed Powell's remarks, but Fox has done nothing to secure his side of the border. He thinks TX, AZ, NM, and CA should be part of Mexico. Next he'll be asking for his share of Federal tax money from these states. I agree with W that the best solution to this problem is to help Mexico in job creation and education. They will continue to cross illegally if they have no chance of a decent life there.
