Some people will go to the most extreme places to get away from George Bush.

lol @ joeforsure. that was funny.

I do not know much about laura bush, but her daughter may NOT be voting republican this year. That tells me that the Bush family (despite GW's ineptness) raised their daughter to think for herself.

Obama '08!

Obama has been the leader of the Senate Foreign Affairs and has never stepped foot outside this country since the Democrats made him the Leader of this position.

Is this what to expect from Obama to run around the country selling books with Oprah if elected.

Maybe Laura Bush has a mission - to find Osbama Bin Laden, since the husband could not find him! He is in that country since the beginning as per reports. People do not listen to the George due to the constant lies. Laura Bush is the next choice for publicity.

Nothing like wasting jet fuel!!! What in the world is she supposed to do there? Answer: Waste more of our tax dollars!!!!! What nerve for W to waste so much money, but of course it is not his money. JERK

Exactly, a waste of fuel.

Thank God this blog is NOT about the Clintons.

"We have seen a resurgence of Taliban and Al Qaeda killings and kidnappings in Afghanistan," Mrs. Bush told ABC News....
we? WE?! you got a little soldier in your pocket Laura? WE?! "WE" have been shooting our mouths off about this phony war your husband made. "WE" (i.e., you) have been living in luxury while the rest of our sons and daughters have been dieing and living a h&ll like life in the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan. WE (i.e., YOU) have created a tremendous interest in AQ by others, perhaps direct or indirect relatives and friends of the hundreds of thousands WE have killed and the millions whose lives WE have recked havoc upon by destroying the only life they knew...WE? YOU SISTER.... YOU and that CHIMP you married.

Will you democrats get over yourself and just give this lady some credit. As a first lady she has been amazing. She does more for charity then most of America put together and because she has no arrogance to her she gets down to the level of the people she's speaking to. do you think Michelle Obama will give up trying to run the white house to do a quarter of the work that this first lady has done - NO.

Keep up the good work you have been doing Mrs Bush.

Laura needs to tell the Taliban to stop it.

wagain,

I have not degraded anyone. It's common knowledge that Bush didn't know the price of gas was going up to $4 by summer. It is common knowledge that Bush failed to take action prior to, during and after Katrina. If you don't like to hear the truth, fine. But I did not degrade Bush. He did it to himself.

Obama '08!

Now laura has mre combat expeience than her husband.

truconserv: "You probably haven't heard that the Pentagon released a report in March showing the EXTENSIVE ties of Saddam's regime to al Queda."

We haven't heard of that, because it simply isn't true. Please provide a link to some objective evidence. I am always up for a good debate, but you Bush supporter hold-outs bend the truth until it means what YOU want it to mean. Half of your post is half-truths and outright lies!

Screw Afghanistan and be done with it!

What in the name of Hell are we doing

there that takes this many years?

or is this another 100 year war

for McBush to Finish.. at the cost of

American life and to what end.

there is nothing there ..

oh you say well they will come back

to the USA again and strike Us.

That line is now just old and tired..

Anybody really think we have them tied

down so they can not come from either

Afghanistan or Iraq to the USA if

they want to? this has been a waste of

time money and life..

As a Navy Chief, I got a lot of respect for Laura Bush as a First Lady and as a mother. I am also sure she will not misspeak about a sniper fire nor she will use her great uncle to promote her patriotism.

Some of you people are seriously crazy. Laura was doing a great thing out there. Thousands of people came to see her; men, women, and childern. She came with a message supporting education for the war torn country. Over the years it will provide adults w/ educations they wouldn't of got otherwise. the more education the less terrorists in the country.
Some of you just want us out of there. I say go there for yourself and then say that. I had that courage but I don't say what you do. Get educated

Laura Bush is a true hero to Afghani women!!

where are other "liberal" women organization praising her trip and her efforts??? The silence from women's group is just unimaginable.

Where is Obama on women's issue in Afghanistan??? or Iran or in Africa?? Where women gets stoned on regular basis...or in Iran where they the highest # of women political prisoners..the country that Obama has no problem meeting with the regime and legitimize their existence!

So, who should McCain choose as his vice president? Well, Laura Bush, of course!

His campaign really needs a woman with backbone, not afraid to face the Afghan leaders. And, just think, he could then claim he chose a woman!

I am a vet and every male in my
family, including my sons are
vets so we do have some
patriotism.

Laura Bush is one classy and good
lady. But at a time when the
price of gas is so dear, I very
much fail to see how much good
her trip did. Remember, not only
did she use AF 1 but other planes
protected her. The question how
much lasting good the trip did?

BTW, I remember LBJ going
through the WH turning off lights
to conserve energy during a
energy crisis. He stated that
he wanted to set an example.
I really wish the WH would try
to do the same when it comes
to the usage of fuel.

I look at Laura Bush and then I think about Michele as first lady - I believe....... I believe that I'm going for another glass of vino - God please help keep the unthinkable from happening.
