President Bush, flanked by Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Richard B. Myers, and U.S. Administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, spoke this morning in the White House Rose Garden regarding the killing of the monstrous sons of Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qusay yesterday, and the positive effect it would have on the Iraqi people, and citing the great progress that has been made by the Coalition Forces in Iraq.
Later in the morning he welcomed former President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Havel, and Argentine President Nestor Kirchner in the Oval Office. He also found time to honor the Presidential Medal of Honor recipients in the East Room, including Vaclav Havel, Van Cliburn, John Wooden, Roberto Clemente, Dave Thomas and Charleston Heston.
There are lots of pictures today, so enjoy your ample Daily Dose of Dubya!!
That brought back some memories .. thank you
Once we went to the drive in and brought some beach chairs and a cooler, was a beautiful evening with a cool breeze when all of a sudden a skunk showed up.
Of course some of the girls screamed which really didn't help matters
I caught that story, too. A woman in NJ arranged to send her son an a/c. It was a hit, so she got donations for others and free shipping to send another 20 to his company. I think she's working on another group of 20. She's only sending them to her son's company, so if anyone else wants to send one to their friend or relative, they'd have to start a new effort.
The guys can't bring them back, so they're going to be leaving some very happy Iraqis behind.
Psalm 92
1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night,
3On an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound.
4For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
5O LORD, how great are Your works!
Your thoughts are very deep.
6A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
7When the wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.
8But You, LORD, are on high forevermore.
9For behold, Your enemies, O LORD,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Those who are planted in the house of the LORD
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
15To declare that the LORD is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
