President Karzai of Afghanistan is in Ottawa, Canada....Just saw a news conference on CBC with him and Chretien....He's here to thank Chretien for the help. We have thousands..(not sure how many troops, we recently sent 2,000 more) over there....Hmmmm...I wonder if Chretien will invite him to his summer place on the lake....(This is my feble attempt at a joke...if Bush can invite leaders to his ranch...weeellll)....

5. He was in NYC for

the UN General Assembly last week, so it's just a short hop before returning to his bolt hole.
