Is that after Mr. Harrison who fought for peace and tranquility and against hunger during a great part of his life?
And as the old saying goes in a customized version: the Democratic silence was deafening.
Inside the Beltway rumor has it that the Democratic spin merchants started a run on the local stores that sell arch supports.
but they are predictably responding now

I just love this:
""It's nice that he made it over there today, but this visit won't change the fact that those brave men and women should never have been fighting in Iraq in the first place," said Jay Carson, a spokesman for Howard Dean, one of the biggest critics of the war among the nine Democrats vying for the party's presidential nomination.
Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts issued a statement saying that the trip was "the right thing to do for our country." But, he added: "When Thanksgiving is over, I hope the president will take the time to correct his failed policy in Iraq that has placed our soldiers in a shooting gallery.""
We support our troops, but this war is WRONG! Wrong! You can't have it both ways.

And, thank the Lord, the story did not break and enganger his plans.
The TV coverage said a dangerous part of the trip was landing there in a darkened airport.
Kudos to The Commander-in Chief!

I heard on the news as I was getting ready for work yesterday that the reporters on Air Force One were told after takeoff where they were going.
And they were told that if one hint of it appeared anywhere in the media before they landed, the plane would be turned around. (And I suspect if ever found out who, their White House credentials revoked.)

They made it really clear up front that nobody was supposed to leak anything during the trip.
The report I heard said that even the Secret Service detail in Texas didn't get any advance warning.
Complete with an open topped car with GW waving to the cheering crowds?
What do green eyes mean?
Sure it was a partly (at least) a political stunt. But it surely even by second hand tale helped morale over there some.
It's ok to be cynical about it, but do you have to pick at the visit to the troops more than once? at least more than once a day?
Whatever mistakes he's made, I still think it was a good thing for the troops that are there, without regard to differing opinions of whether they should be there or not.

Hi, Roger,

Guess what -- so do I! I'd ask Ed O'D for his flying pig graphic, except it doesn't work on the new software...
