Following are quotes from President Bush 's visit with U.S. troops Thursday in Iraq:

---

"You are defending the American people from danger and we are grateful."

---

"You are defeating the terrorists here in Iraq so we don't have to face them in our own country."

---

"We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq, pay a bitter cost of casualties, defeat a ruthless dictator and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins."

---

"Each one of you has answered a great call participating in a historic moment in world history."

---

"I was just looking for a warm meal somewhere. Thanks for inviting me."

---

"We thank you for your service, we're proud of you, and America stands solidly behind you."

---

"The regime of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) is gone forever."

---

"Our military is full of the finest people on the face of the Earth. I'm proud to be your commander in chief."

OH MY GOSH! I just turned on the TV to Fox News . . . fantastic! What a President!

[SAMWolf]

Thank God for this country that so many Americans have sacrificed their lives for to protect that precious commodity called FREEDOM!

Worth repeating.

Good Morning w_over_w. Happy Thanksgiving.

Our Military Today
Bush Visits the Troops

I can only stay a second but I was so excited by seeing President Bush in Iraq, I just had to stop in.
I still have tears in my eyes....seeing the smiles on our troops' faces overwhelmed me.

God bless our President!!! This was a wonderful thing he did for the men and women serving far from home. Thank you for posting these pics of the moment, SAM.

Off and running again. Have a wonderful afternoon y'all!

Wonderful. It was well deserved!

[snippy_about_it]

Hi Matt. Yep, we may not always be 100 percent happy with some of his policies but he is a sincere and good man and we are blessed to have him as President.

[SAMWolf]

Congrats w_over_w.

It's a most fitting day for that quote.

[snippy_about_it]

These pictures are so neat!!

[SAMWolf]

He's for real and not the phoney, baloney crap the Clinton's are expert at.

[Darksheare]

That's why the left hates him so much.

My turkey is in the oven (unlike New Yorks that is in Afghanistan). Sure wish you could be here to try it.
