The Normal Guy.
President Bush is often misunderstood by those who do not know him personally and are unaware of his sensitive side, Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said in a television interview on Sunday.
…
"On the contrary, we are defending ourselves and trying to root out terrorists from their hideouts. That's what happened in Afghanistan and that is what Bush has said is the case in Iraq."
If we didn't know it before, I think it would be safe to say that Berlusconi is a good friend.
Berlusconi dismissed concerns about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, saying the former regime of Saddam Hussein could easily have destroyed or exported them and, in any case, the arrest of Saddam was justification enough.
"The real weapon of mass destruction in Iraq was Saddam Hussein — and he was found."
Did you get that? "The real weapon of mass destruction in Iraq was Saddam Hussein". Enough said.

This sounds icky.
A vicious skin infection resistant to all but the most powerful antibiotics has jumped out of New York City hospitals and onto the streets.
The "superbug," as health officials refer to it, can cause anything from reddening of the skin, to abscesses, tissue loss, amputation or even death in severe cases, doctors said.
For decades confined to hospitals, where it preyed on patients and built up immunity to antibiotics, the bug – known officially as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus or MRSA – has also grown in strength.
"Usually with infections you need a break in the skin to pass it," said Dr. Howard Grossman, who has a private practice in Chelsea.
"Not with this. It gets through unbroken skin with casual contact."

Operation Iraq: A True Story
We have never been afraid to air our own dirty laundry, prosecuting those amongst us who commit crimes. Although at times we smear our nose in it much longer than is needed, repeatedly broadcasting things that do more harm than good. But yet, we stand fast to our ideals and our principles, ready to hold all accountable for their actions.

World War II Memorial
Bells tolled from the National Cathedral and swing music from the 1940s rang out at the Mall as veterans of World War II assembled by the tens of thousands Saturday for the dedication of a memorial to their great struggle.
Finally, the national recognition they deserve.
Speaking at the ceremony to formally open the National World War II Memorial, President Bush praised those it honored. "When it mattered most, an entire generation of Americans showed the finest qualities of our nation and of humanity," he said.
A dedication and a monument truly befitting the Greatest Generation.
