President George W. Bush meets with U.S. troops who were deployed in the Operation Enduring Freedom during war on Iraq at the U.S. Army Central Command (USCENTCOM) headquarters in Doha, Qatar. The President arrived safely back in Washington D.C. this evening after a 7 day 6 nation trip. ENJOY YOUR DAILY DOSE

I haven't looked, but I assume that TIME's webpage should have archived stories online...if they do, they did a cover story on Franks a couple of months ago. you could check that out.

He sure likes rubbing those heads, and those folks sure love him . . .

Thanks Mike. The pictures are wonderful. They really show the love and respect our troops have for their CIC.

He loves being in their presence and they know it.

Thank God they no longer have to serve under the degenerate.

This is a great picture for some obvious reasons, but also for something that's not quite as apparent:



I noticed the hand on the president's hip when I was looking through these photos earlier (I cheated and checked them out over on Yahoo!) What a subtle reminder of the unimaginably difficult and stressful work that the Secret Service does on a daily basis. That they had to be this cautious around our own military speaks volumes about the risks inherent during the rest of the trip. If we're feeling relieved tonight, imagine how they must feel.

Go get 'em, Dubya!!!! Thanks for posting the pics again tonight, Mike!

Psalm 28

¹ To You I will cry, O LORD my Rock:
        Do not be silent to me,
        Lest, if You are silent to me,
        I become like those who go down to the pit.
        ²Hear the voice of my supplications
        When I cry to You,
        When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

        ³Do not take me away with the wicked
        And with the workers of iniquity,
        Who speak peace to their neighbors,
        But evil is in their hearts.
        ⁴Give them according to their deeds,
        And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
        Give them according to the work of their hands;
        Render to them what they deserve.
        ⁵Because they do not regard the works of the LORD,
        Nor the operation of His hands,
        He shall destroy them
        And not build them up.

        ⁶Blessed be the LORD,
        Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
        ⁷The LORD is my strength and my shield;
        My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
        Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
        And with my song I will praise Him.

        ⁸The LORD is their strength,
        And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
        ⁹Save Your people,
        And bless Your inheritance;
        Shepherd them also,
        And bear them up forever.

GREAT NEWS -- The First Mom herself, Barbara Bush, has penned a book set for release in October:


Incoming From Barbara Bush?

Barbara Bush's new autobiography, due in October, reportedly takes aim at some Bush family opponents. The list of possible targets includes Maureen Dowd, David Gergen, Ann Richards and Ross Perot. (Carlos Amat - AP)

Never mind the blockbuster autobiography by that other former first lady. We hear Barbara Bush's latest is so hot that her publisher's in-house libel lawyers are asking her to tone it down. Which makes us wonder which of the famously frank author's least favorite people should be assuming a defensive crouch or purchasing a Kevlar vest.

"Reflections," Bush's memoir of the eight years between her husband's and son's presidencies, is being published Oct. 14 by Lisa Drew/Scribner. We hear that the recently completed manuscript -- every word written by the 77-year-old wife of George Bush the elder -- contains nearly a dozen passages that have caused the lawyers heartburn. In a couple of instances, we're told, the author has agreed to changes, but in most cases, she's sticking to her guns.

Wonderful! I missed the speech, somehow, but have caught a couple of sound bytes. Wish I could see the whole thing. Gotta tuck my kiddies into bed. But I'll be back.

Thanks MJY, for tonight's dose.

[ReaganandDubyaForever]

AWESOME!!! Will be purchasing that!!
