Well, my sister-in-law is LB's Chief of Staff and on that trip. I think it is and important display of confidence, and sends an improtant message to the Afghan people, but the question made me think for quite a while. Overall, I think it is a great call, and she should be praised for her courage. MM

You better watch what you say about Laura Bush. She's a star and there's no two cents about it. You can make fun of GW but not of the "STAR". So, no, I don't think you exactly got the answer correct.

If I was the First Lady, I would go. 1. I would want to see for my own curiosity what our guys have accomplished.
2. I completely agree with Major Mike!!! She is pretty protected.

I can't make fun of President Bush. He is my Commander-in-Chief.

I'm not disrespecting Mrs. Bush, either. I believe she is on an important trip and sends an extremely important message, not just to our troops, but to the women of Afghanistan and the rest of the world.

My wife would go. She supports the troops more than I do!

I could be wrong (and am often, just ask my girlfriend), but I think that question was one of the female questions with no right answer, just an infinite number of wrong answers, only differentiated by the degree of which you are wrong. Kind of like the eternal "Does this make me look fat?" question.

Maybe her husband is trying to get rid of her for sympathy!!

JA - I was just having fun. ~grin~ I knew you didn't mean any disrespect for Laura Bush. Hope you didn't take it that way. I think it means alot to the troops and is a tremendous PR and confidence building trip for her to do these kinds of visits. She is a natural at it and oozes sincerity and class.

Got it. No offense taken.

I really respect both the President and his wife.

More power to her. But she should not have allowed herself to be ambushed by the MSM on her way over there.

Thats all they talked about instead of her trip and its purpose.

You can't trust the MSM, anything you say can be turned around or shaped to suit them.

I think the first lady is a class act - and I'm glad she went.

But I agree that the MSM will take anything they can and twist it to their purposes.
