RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany - First lady Laura Bush on Tuesday thanked U.S. soldiers for giving up their safety and the comforts of home to fight for democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan.

-snip-

Mrs. Bush, who also visited about 20 wounded soldiers at nearby Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, flew to Germany a day ahead of the president, who was attending meetings with NATO leaders in Brussels, Belgium. Ramstein Air Base has been heavily used in support of post-Sept. 11 U.S. military campaigns.

The president also is scheduled to visit the 1st Armored Division in Wiesbaden, including some of the same troops he surprised in 2003 with a Thanksgiving Day visit to their mess hall in Baghdad.

I love Laura Bush. She is charming, graceful, elegant and intelligent. She is not the "co-president", thank God, and I'll bet she has more influence than HRC ever dreamed of having. She is a jewel.

Mrs. Bush made excellent use of her time.
God bless her and the president while they're representing us overseas.

She didn't want that creep Chirac kissing her hand so she split.

Good for her.

What a contrast she is to that creep Hillary Rodham (or is it Hillary Clinton or is it Hillary Rodham Clinton)! Remember THIS gem from the Hildabeast????
