Laura Bush Slams Newspapers on 'Freedom' and Iraq

Published: October 25, 2007 5:20 PM ET

ALI AL SALEM AIR BASE, Kuwait First lady Laura Bush told hundreds of U.S. troops Thursday that the American people stand by them in the Iraq war and the security situation in the country was improving due to their efforts.

"We are seeing signs of progress as thousands of Iraqis are stepping up to work with coalition soldiers," Mrs. Bush told about 700 members of the different services of the U.S. military who were either coming from the war-torn country or heading there.

The troops greeted Mrs. Bush with applause when she entered the air-conditioned terminal at the base. "I am the one who should be applauding you for what you've done," said the first lady.

"I'm here to tell you that the American people stand with our troops," she said. "No matter what you might read in the newspapers, people do appreciate the gift of freedom."

1. people do appreciate the gift of freedom

except the dead ones, well that probably goes without saying.

2. This is why she is fair game

Some people complain that we shouldn't talk about Pickles or the twins because Bush himself is the problem. This disregards the fact that she makes political statments. I say pour it on. She's an idiot with botoxed face and feeling bliss born of Xanax.

Is the reporter sending us a covert message re airconditioning being newsworthy?
