Live thread for President Bush's flight to the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and his historic address to the nation tonight concerning Iraq.

On the picture on Fox, is that TINY plane to the right the one Bush is going to get on???????????

[Catspaw]

It'd be even cooler if I wasn't trapped at the office without a TV. Is this going to be shown anywhere? I'll check MSNBC's live feeds & hope that it is.

I know how excited I am sitting in my cubicle in the South Bay area of Los Angeles county, about a 2-hour drive north of San Diego. So I can just imagine how enormously thrilled those kids on the Lincoln are right about now.

[Travis McGee]

You read my mind.

[Howlin]

What does that mean??

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Anybody got another live feed anywhere? The San Diego NBC feed has weather radar now....

Hi Quilla! I went to get some munchies before the action gets started.

What happens tomorrow? Does the Pres. fly back from the Lincoln or does he go into port with it? anybody heard?

[Quilla]

Really? You mean he's going to do this tail-hook landing twice? I'm going into prayer overtime.

Are you saying that Bush is ZOTing the Dems with this? :)

[Howlin]

LOL..me, too!

I think I can HEAR the "steam" coming out of the DNC all the way down here in Raleigh!

My oldest daughter is assigned to the Shamrock Squadron at North Island NAS, Coronado, that will be flying the President to the USS Lincoln. She is assigned to the training squadron who are about the only people left at VS-41! They had to work all weekend to get the Squadron all cleaned up! The folks at VS-41 are estatic that President Bush is using their aircraft!

Inspectorette's description of how Clancy would write this scene, with a terrorist pilot etc.

LOL! What a mental image!

[Howlin]

I wish you could see them on Fox; they are just finishing cleaning up and packing up; now they've gone to get dressed.

One guy said he wanted to tell Bush how proud he was that he's their president!

[Mo1]

Wow .. almost 200 posts already

[Travis McGee]

MEGA 'RAT ZOT!!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Nope, Howlin hasn't said uncle.

How about the "we support our president" photo op the day he was impeached? Or when that picture of him hugging that kind in Kosovo to show what a loving, compassionate guy he really was? Or any of the several photo op trips Arafat made to DC?

I SAID, SAY UNCLE!

FLIGHT SUIT! ;o)
