This morning President Bush welcomed President Barzani of the Kurdistan Regional Government to the Oval Office. The two leaders discussed the future of a democratic Iraq and the upcoming elections which Iraqis unanimously approved last month. (Transcript)
In related news—news that the mainstream media refuses to report—the Wasit Province, located south of Baghdad, was returned to Iraqi civilian control today.
Press Secretary Dana Perino: It becomes the 13th of 18 provinces to take the lead for its security in Iraq. It's the second Iraqi province to transfer security responsibility in the last two weeks, and we had Babil just a week before.So now, more than two-thirds of Iraq is now under provincial Iraqi control.

And it was another day of HUGE rallies for Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Gov. Sarah Palin as she campaigned around Ohio, first speaking in Toledo, then at a rally in Bowling Green where thousands of enthusiastic supporters welcomed her and Ohio native Joe Wurzelbacher (aka “Joe the Plumber” ), who joined Sarah & Todd on stage, and finally Sarah spoke to thousands more at an outdoor rally in Chillicothe.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
Quote of the Day:
President Barzani: Thank you very much, Mr. President. It's good that there has been another opportunity for us to visit with you again. I am here to convey the gratitude of the Iraqi people in general and the people of Kurdistan, in particular, for the brave decision that you've made to rid us of this dictatorship.We are very grateful for all the brave souls, women and men in uniform, who gave their dear lives in the process. And we are very grateful to the American people and to you, Mr. President, for this sacrifice.

God Bless & Thank You, Mr President.
Q Another question, and I know this is a little bit in advance, but what exactly is the President going to be doing Tuesday night? I know you said he's staying here. Who's going to be here? Can you give us a little tick-tock about what his plans are?Dana: I'll try to get you some more information on that. He often will have somebody over for dinner or something before they start watching the returns. So as we get a little bit closer, let me try to nail that down for you.
I’m praying for this country.
Me too, my friend.
You're welcome ahead of time ;)
