President Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq during a speech Thursday delivered from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Henry Waxman is my representative here in California. He is a huge embarassment!

[raisincane]

President Bush represents me, you, and all Americans. He flew out to the Abe Lincoln with a special "thank you" to our troops. He thanked them for me. With every hug, kiss, smile, pat on the back, word, and tail hook landing, President Bush thanked them in a big way! I could not have done it better myself!

democrats don`t fly,bump.

According to FOX's legal guy - this was NOT a political event for the President. To be political, the President would have had to promote someone running for office - he did not ... or the President would have to be on a ballot himself - he was not!

Sorry dems - this was not a political event SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!

President Bush to the world:

"As leader of the Armed Forces of my nation I am willing to do that which I ask of the my troops."

How simple is that?

[scourge]

They've called on the White House to provide an analysis of how much the landing cost, and they want to compare it with what a helicopter landing would have cost.

Don't worry dipos, it probably didn't cost, even a small fraction of what clippy spent traveling around the world for really bogus reasons.

[onedoug]

The victorious warrior commander commiserates with his forces, affirming himself as one of them. Yes, I wouldn't expect democrats to able to understand that at all.

[angkor]

Waxman said Bush used ...

I want to know why Waxman uses the Congressional podium as a venue for sexual pickups.

Can the GAO do an investigation on that?

[mystery-ak]

The Rats are beside themselves..they are grasping at straws.....

[The FRugitive]

He should have used the F-14.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

No wonder the Democratic mascot is the jackass.

I don't recall the press getting in a tizzy over Clinton's $100 MILLION+ vacation in Africa.

[eureka!]

"A Clinton trip to Africa, for example, was one criticized by Republicans and analyzed by the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress."

Memo to Clymers at the dying CNN: More facts please. Here, I'll help--entourage of about 1800, 13 C-130 transports, cost to taxpayers estimated at $200 million. "Mission Accomplished?"-nothing. nada. zip.......

[skeeter]

Typically, the media is trying to make Bush's silk purse into a sow's ear.

Won't work. Most folks loved the event.

[michigander]

Once in a while it is better to just let the jerkoffs rant and rave.
There is no reason to defend something that doesn't need any defense.
It only makes it look like there's something that needs to be hidden.

[Eaker]

"Let's Roll!!"

Means different things to different people!!!

I long ago have added Byrd and Waxman to the itinerary of my someday bus tour of Democrat gravesights.

The tour will feature copious amounts of liquid refreshments and few pit stops other than the many visits to famous Demo-lib gravesites identified by "dual-use" marble headstones and monuments.

Large umbrellas, held sideways, will be provided to forestall any claims of indecent exposure.....

[Bahbah]

This event was one of the most inspiring and beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. Lots of us feel that way. That's what's driving them nuts.

[Stefan Stackhouse]

And I wonder how much it costs to figure out how much it cost?

[PatrioticAmerican]

Listen, that was the mother of all photo ops. Going to the carrier didn't require him to be in the co-pilot seat, and I bet the Secret Service freaked when they heard of the plans.

That said, GOOD for Bush! The Dems have done FAR worse throughout the Klintoon years, so lets have at it. Fight fire with fire, and at least Bush IS a fighter pilot!
