QUOTE: "To achieve victory over such enemies, we are pursuing a comprehensive strategy in Iraq. Americans should have a clear understanding of ... how we look at the war, how we see the enemy, how we define victory, and what we're doing to achieve it. So today, we're releasing a document called the "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq." This is an unclassified version of the strategy we've been pursuing in Iraq ... I urge all Americans to read it." Click here to read it.

Gretchen, A WONDERFUL Dose this evening.. thank you so much! Love our man of a thousand expressions.. and although he is showing fatigue & stress & aging, he is still a handsome & strong presence.

CSPAN doesn't show a replay of the speech... anyone heard if there will be one? Is there a posting anywhere of the speech? I heard just part of it before I had to leave for bible study today.

Cheneys in the news

They Cheneys arrive for a performance after a dinner to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, in the East Room November 10, 2005. The NEA and NEH support research, education and public programs for the arts and humanities. (I love Lynne's outfit.)

Thank you, Gretchen. These pictures of our President give me goosebumps.

[Kate of Spice Island]

Woohoo!!! I am here semi-early.

How is everyone?

I have a quick question...someone mentioned getting a letter from the President right before (or just after) Christmas last year and wondered if it was bona fide or computer generated...although it was hand written...who was that? I would love to compare.
