QUOTE OF THE DAY: Today is a great day for the families, comrades, loved ones of the seven missing in action who are free. I'm really pleased, for all those who have been praying for their safety, that they are safe.

We still have missing in action in Iraq; we will continue to look for them. We pray that they, too, will be safe and free one of these days. But it's just a good way to start off the morning, to have been notified that seven of our fellow Americans are going to be home here pretty soon, in the arms of their loved ones.

[Otta B Sleepin]

I just LOVE that first picture! It's been a long time since we've seen our heavily burdened President look so happy. God bless him.

What a wonderful day for the President...what really touched me was his sincere joy at finding the POW's..at the risk of sounding "obsessed" with x42..one can hear what the impeached one would have said.."Well..it was my idea to find them..and my leadership ability..thanks to my precise planning and maneuvers"..but then again..there would have never been any war to begin with (unless he was found in bed with a dead intern)..

Good evening all,

It was sure nice to see President Bush smiling and laughing today. It was obvious that he was thrilled to get the news of the rescue of the POW's. Many prayers were answered this morning, and my list is getting smaller by the day.

God Bless America

[Kath]

Love that first picture. Great to see him laughing again.

[admiralsn]

What a difference a couple of weeks make. Just 2 weeks ago, President Bush was very grim-faced. With the news of the POW's and the downed choppers, the strains of War and the enormity of the office were really showing on President Bush's face. Well look at him now! He deserves to look and feel that way! All of America does- even the nimrods who "support the troops" but badmouth their leader. Seeing the good that we have done in Iraq is bound to bring some of them around. OK, well maybe not. But at least it shuts them up. Where is Martin Sheen now? Not that anyone cares, but it is noticeable that Sheen hasn't been heard from in the last few days. Now the liberals are hollering that the war was too easy and that we spent too much money! Well duh! What idiots. Maybe that is why the war was so easy. We showed them the muscle that we have and they rolled over like the wimps they really are. And now the liberals are showing themselves to be the wimps they really are. Put one more point up there for President Bush!

[swheats]

He wasn't gloating, but that was pure joy and happiness I saw today. He deserves it for a change.

Just a single post tonight then I'm back off to bed......

I never knew the true meaning of the word HERO until this man became our President.

May God continue to bless him in astounding and miraculous ways!

Psalm 100

A Psalm of Thanksgiving.
¹ Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
        ²Serve the LORD with gladness;
        Come before His presence with singing.
        ³Know that the LORD, He is God;
        It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
        We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

        ⁴Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
        And into His courts with praise.
        Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
        ⁵For the LORD is good;
        His mercy is everlasting,
        And His truth endures to all generations.
