Bush pays brief call on Colombia
Updated 41 mins. ago

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — President Bush renewed U.S. support to Colombia, a strong but drug and violence-plagued U.S. ally which receives more U.S. aid than any country outside the Middle East and Afghanistan. Bush arrived in the nation's capital on Sunday to meet with President Alvaro Uribe in a show of confidence for Uribe and Colombia's battle against narcoterrorists. But the stop was clouded by a political scandal involving Uribe, and security jitters had Bush staying only about six hours.

Colombia was the third country on the president's five-nation tour of Latin America. He began his journey in Brazil, flew here from Uruguay and was headed later Sunday to Guatemala. Bush last stops in Mexico before returning to Washington Wednesday.

It was Bogota's first visit from a sitting president since Ronald Reagan in 1982. Some 20,000 police and heavily armed troops will virtually shut off downtown Bogota to guard against a possible rebel attack.

PRESIDENTIAL SCHEDULE:

— Mar. 14, President and Mrs. Bush arrive back in Washington from their trip to South America and Mexico.

— Mar. 15, House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-OH) chairs the NRCC March Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel, headlined by President Bush.

— Mar. 16, Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern will meet in the White House with President Bush to discuss bilateral issues and Northern Ireland, and to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with their annual "Shamrock Ceremony."

Thanks for all of the links...great, as usual.

I loved the one by Fred Barnes...that Pres. Bush is driving the dems and MSM crazy because he is so upbeat and positive all of the time.

Ultimate checkmate!

Awww, bless your poor mother's heart. Try this to help her out. Those gossip magazines use the following excuse in court when they get sued: "Nobody believes it, so we're not breaking the law." In other words, they admit to lying. I've read that at least one of them admits to thinking up the crazy, untrue stories and then asks which writer wants to write it. If I remember correctly, that was also used an an excuse in court.

I like that photo - Juan Valdes makes room for the tanks out in narcoterror territory, to help make President Bush's trip safe. Poor Colombia!

I Saw One of those Dreadful Papers Spouting Forth their Trash about my President as I was in the Check-Out Recently, and I Wish there was Some Way he could Sue the Pants Off them for Printing their Hideous Slanders. The People that Put that Garbage Together Must have Hearts as Hard as Stone. :(

I had two large blueberry pancakes (made with Dakota Maid mix), couple of fried eggs, and two slices of toast with Sam's Choice Peach Preserve, and washed it down with a pot of coffee.
