Bush presided Monday at a White House ceremony to greet the prime ministers of the new member nations along with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.

With the addition of Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, NATO's membership grows from 19 countries to 26. The new members will take part in their first meeting Friday in Brussels. Three other nations - Albania, Croatia and Macedonia - hope to join.

NATO has agreed to include the Baltic states under its air defense shield, planning to enforce it by stationing four F-16 fighter planes in Lithuania.

The latest from Yahoo reads as follows:

President Bush welcomed seven former Soviet-dominated nations into NATO as "full and equal partners" on Monday and said the Western alliance was stronger because of their presence.

Under a bright sun on the White House South Lawn, Bush stood with the prime ministers of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Hundreds of people cheered. Some waved flags of the new member nations, whose addition expands the alliance to 26 countries.

A military honor guard carried the flags of the NATO countries.

Fifty-five years after NATO's birth, Bush recalled that the seven new members were "captives to an empire" when the alliance was formed.

Well, I did feel good about a Mario Cuomo for VP suggestion....;)

[RightWingMama]

I love the pictures of our President and his crew, but I loved the pictures of Eric even more. Thank you, Lord, for bringing him home safe.

BTW, thanks for the ping.

I'm big time choked up over the photo of Eric and Mr & Mrs Ohio. So beautiful.

[mystery-ak]

LOL...that would be a good choice!

The editing job on 60 Mins. was really a hatchet job. It makes it clear why the Dems want Condi to testify in public.
Bradley would give a "speech" accusing her of all sorts of evil doings, and then they would cut off her answer after just a few seconds.
That's just what they want to be able to do to her, and W if she does give in, in the hearings.

The only thing that made me happy about that interview is that my Lib friends also saw it as unfair.

[mystery-ak]

If you find the answer about the segment Brit mentiones, let me know...I missed it too!

[MEG33]

I've been grinning through tears today .I am so thrilled about Eric's homecoming.I can't wait to hear about Mike and when you'll see him.I hate that he had medical problems.I know you're anxious to see him.

[Peach]

I'll be sure to do that, mystery.

So far the only thing I've heard is that 60 Minutes left out that Condi Rice said she had testified for over 4 hours privately to the 9/11 Commission.

Brit read a list of things so there is more, but that's all anyone remembers right now.

[texasflower]

My, the PM of Romania is an attractive man.

I thought the same thing. He is a very nice looking guy!

[MJY1288]

Thanks for posting the "Dose" Truthy, and especially the Pics of OWF, Eric and Mr. OWF, A great American family

WELCOME HOME ERIC!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

WE AND YOUR COUNTRY ARE PROUD OF YOU!!

[mystery-ak]

Im not sure where Mike is right now....and we have no idea if he will return to Iraq or Campbell after he is done at Walter Reed....?

[mystery-ak]

Was Brit inferring that this info was left on the editing room floor?

[MEG33]

Yes.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Yeah! WELCOME HOME ERIC!

[Peach]

Yes. It was left on the editing floor. Along with other stuff that I missed because the phone rang.

Another thing Brit mentioned regarding Clarke that had nothing to do with the Condi interview is that Clarke's book mentions that Laurie Mylroie made some statement about Ramzi Yousef, the guy convicted in the first WTC bombing. Then he attributed some similar statement to Wolfowitz. Problem is that a lexus-nexus search shows that neither of them EVER said anything remotely like that.

Also, Clarke's book mentions Rummy as being inattentive and saying something at a meeting. Problem is that press reports show Rummy wasn't there - he was out of town!

[homemom]

When are YOU going to see him?????

I just remembered today that my best friend from college is having surgery on her nose on Wed. for I think the same thing! She's scared half to death about it. Whereas Mike wanted them to just "hack it off" she'll need all the relaxing medicine she can get. When she had her babies, she wanted to have her epidural in the parking lot!

[homemom]

Do you get to communicate wiht him much? How you must miss him!

[mystery-ak]

I heard Brit mention the Rummy episode...anothe revisionist book by a rat...
