President Bush met with Secretary Rumsfeld, Generals Pace and Petraeus to discuss progress in Iraq.

President and Laura Bush visited wounded troops at Walter Reed Medical Center.

The White House announced that the president will travel to Latin America in November for the Summit of the Americas and meetings with the presidents of Argentina, Brazil and Panama.

The president had [a no doubt working] lunch with Condi Rice and Karen Hughes at the White House.

UK's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla will meet President Bush when they travel to the United States for their first joint official tour, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

Welcome to Sanity Island!

QUOTES: "... Iraqis are showing more and more capability to take the fight to the enemy. And that's how we're going to succeed in helping democracy become established in Iraq. ... The constitution has been written; folks will have a chance to vote it up or down here this month. And then there will be elections, if the constitution is approved, for a permanent government."

At Walter Reed: "Every time I come here I'm amazed by the courage and decency and strength of those who wear the nation's uniform. It is such an honor to be the Commander-in-Chief of such fine men and women."

"US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. US lobbying was instrumental in breaking a deadlock that threatened until the last minute the start of Turkey's membership talks with the European Union." Unflattering file photo

The Yahoo (file) pictures of Condi today were not of the quality we often see. Her suit is gorgeous.

[GretchenM]

Almost! If you don't count my posts of the photos, then it's a yes.

Great Tie On Rummy This Time!! Someone must have given him our posts a while back.

Good evening! Thanks for posting the Dose. Great pictures as always. I had been wondering just the other day when Lt General Petraeus was going to return from Iraq

[LUV W]

She has the most beautiful clothes, and of course they look absolutely georgous on her with her slim figure! W knows how to pick beautiful women!

[EmilyGeiger]

Drats! I missed another troll.....grumble, grumble. Sometimes I feel just like Elmer Fudd, can't find a single troll to zot. Just like that pesky wabbit! :)

[GretchenM]

Thanks for bringing those over - I had a brain lapse and was reading the date for Cheney's photos as yesterday so I didn't post 'em.

[GretchenM]

Hi everybody!

[GretchenM]

Hi Kaslin. You keep good tabs on all those generals -- I hadn't even remembered where Petraeus was posted.

[LUV W]

....Hi!

[silent_jonny]

Hi everybody!

Hi, Dr. Nick! (/Simpsons humor :)

[altura]

Hi, Gretchen. Looking forward to the pics.

[McGavin999]

I am so proud of them going to Walter Reed all the time. It has to be so hard on them, yet they go and let those men and women know just how much they mean to all of us and that their sacrifice is known and honored.

[Right_in_Virginia]

President Bush, I still love you!!!

Mega dittos!

[CAluvdubya]

Nice Dose Gretchen, thanks for your hard work!

I just finished reading your moving day nightmare. Ugh! Glad things have worked out though.

[mystery-ak]

These trolls are so pathetic...I guess they get their jollies by signing up to post their one and only comment.

[silent_jonny]

And what a comment that was too. "Rummy will resign before Halloween." It made no sense. But considereing the source, that shouldn't surprise me.

How are ya, Buddy? :)

[mystery-ak]

Anxious for Mike to come home tomorrow....

[silent_jonny]

I'm sure you are.

Maybe the dance show will get your mind off things for a little while ;)

[mystery-ak]

LOL...I hate that show....Im glad it's over tonight....

[mystery-ak]

So, what have you been up to all day?

[Albion Wilde]

Am I the only Bush-lover who doesn't love the pants suit styles Laura Bush likes to wear? I can see it for some occasions, like a cross-country flight, but I really hate it for visits and receptions.

[silent_jonny]

Staying away from FR as much as possible, getting work done ... nothing's finished yet though :)

[Theresawithanh]

Howdy there, everyone! Looking forward to the dose tody fershur!

Just got done downloading some stuff from my IP which says I can surf faster, but why inna heck does it take so long? I could have been first today! (sniff)
