President Bush: First, I applaud the bipartisan effort to get a emergency supplemental bill to my desk. The Speaker and the Leader said they would get it done by Memorial Day recess, and they have. And I appreciate that very much.You know, this effort shows what can happen when people work together. We've got a good bill that didn't have timetables or tell the military how to do its job, but also sent a clear signal to the Iraqis that there's expectations here in America, expectations that we -- about how to move forward. I look forward to continuing to work with the Prime Minister and his government in meeting those expectations.
I also am honored to be here at this place of compassion and healing on Memorial Day Weekend. It's a weekend which gives us a chance to honor those who have served this country, whether it be in this war or in previous wars.
In being here, I also want to honor the healers here at Bethesda -- the health care here is remarkable. They're dealing with some of the very tragic injuries in this war. People come here without much hope and they leave, in many cases, healed and ready to move on with their lives. So I thank the doctors and nurses.
I also thank the soldiers and their families who I met here, people who are remarkably brave and courageous. I'm constantly amazed at the strength of character of those who wear the uniform. To be the Commander-in-Chief of such men and women is really an awesome honor.
And so, to our troops and their families, may God bless you. And may God continue to bless our country.
Thank you all very much.
Hey johnny I notice that ring on Dubya finger that look like Mafia ring to me ROFL
OH is his wedding ring?
Look like Ring that Tony Soprano would wear
LOVE the photo of the day....I am sure that the injured troops are honored for this man, who loves them, comes to see them and expresses his condolences and wishes for healing.
LOL!
You’re welcome, Meg :)
Thanks a bunch Jonny, for posting tonight’s Dose for us!
Yep ...
Next time I'll put a flashing siren next to the warning--maybe that'll get their attention :)
Hi, Seven :)
I see post 3 never took heed of your warning
It's not idiot-proof, I guess :)
Hi, LUV!
Hi, there!
Thanks for opening Sanity Island for us tonight.
It’s becoming more and more a sanctuary from moonbats! :D
Hey Jonny! Thanks for the Friday Dose.
We’ve had disruptors before as we all know, but I’m thinking these latest might think they’re driving the likes of us on this thread AWAY, due to the fact that some have left FR. Therefore, they’ve been emboldened. That’s my take and I’m sticking to it. BTW, and thank you very much for doing this, jonny!
I just checked—our disruptor has been banned ;)
Hi, G! How are you feeling?
