The summit will continue tomorrow but it is expected to end probably a little earlier than originally intended to allow Tony Blair to return to London tomorrow afternoon
Vice President Dick Cheney will undergo a routine exam Friday to check the condition of a high-tech pacemaker that was placed in his chest in June 2001.
Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said the tests at George Washington University Medical Center would include a physical exam, an electrocardiogram, an echocardiogram and a stress test. The vice president planned to be back at work later in the day, she said.
"It's a routine physical," she said. She said the vice president also would have a colonoscopy later this month.

I heard the pavement was slick, that the bike slid out from under him.
I imagine that the bike and he went sideways, falling onto the Scot policeman at his side.
No one's fault.
Prayers up for LCpl Steven and all of the courageous troopers who are fighting and WINNING our War on Terror!!
Amen and AMEN!
Good evening! :o)
where is laura today
I have been thinking of you both all day..
Keeping you in thought and prayer..
I'm so terribly sorry this happened..
Ms.B
He didn't take the blame - in public, anyway. It's not known what happened.
But it was typical of him to show concern, and to do everything he could to make sure the guy was well taken care of.
In scary times like these, I really appreciate (one of his favorite words :-)) having our President be the kind of man who cares about everyone, but isn't afraid to do away with evildoers.
Could we do away with the 22nd Amendment for just this one case?
OH Mad Ivan suggest on one thread bring back Tower of London chopped their head Off I second that
Good evening my little hobbit thank you for your kind words about my fellow countrymen
Well, if that was true, he was riding too fast for road conditions. I think it is an amusing coincidence that the same thing happened at the Tour de France today. (I don't think anyone was seriously hurt there, either).
Our W is a competitive guy.
TNT!!
I have missed you!
Ms.B
How is your dad taking it?
All love and good thoughts to you and to all your countrymen and women on this day of the dastardly, cowardly attack. I have to find a Union Jack to fly next to my USA flag. I was impressed by the British response today - but should not be surprised. It is that calm get it done spirit of Great Britain that has buoyed our spirits in America for so long. God bless you, snugs.
Dad is not surprised at all both of us fully expected this and expected it to be the tube.
For who??? You obviously don't understand cycling at all or you would not have made such a remark. Lance Armstrong just took a tumble. Do you think that is embarassing too. Time you got off the couch and mounted a bike. Maybe then you would not make such a statement.
'the U.S. military defended its decision to continue holding five U.S. citizens in Iraq on suspicion of links to the insurgency. Three of the five are Iraqi-American citizens, one is an Iranian-American and a fifth is a Jordanian-American. "We have sufficient facts and evidence that they're being detained appropriately," said U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Donald Alston, spokesman for the Multinational Force in Iraq.'
Huh? In all this terror stuff, I didn't see this!!!
Show me these dastardly cowardly ingrates and show me their proud moms and dads, and the eviction sign on the front door and the plane that carries them to the Antartic.
