President George W. Bush on Tuesday vetoed legislation from the Democratic-controlled Congress that would have set dates for withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq, saying such a timetable would be "setting a deadline for failure."

That's funny, I think that the people actually don't see it as a failure...just a lot of jealous foreigners think so...  |

Bush Thanks 'American Idol' Viewers
Wed May 2, 2:39 AM ET
LOS ANGELES - President Bush and his wife, Laura, thanked "American Idol" viewers for helping raise $70 million during last week's charity special, "Idol Gives Back."
The money will help impoverished children living in the United States and Africa.
"We thank 'American Idol' viewers who have shown the good heart of America," the president said, in a taped appearance. "We thank all the celebrities who participated, including Bono, and all the contestants who sang their hearts out for these children."
He then turned to the first lady and asked: "Say Laura, you think I ought to sing something?"
"I don't know darling, they've already seen you dance," she quipped.
The joke referred to Bush's appearance with a West African dance troupe to mark Malaria Awareness Day last week. After taking to the stage, he pounded on the drums enthusiastically and lead a group of colorfully dressed dancers and drummers in a little dance.
The scene was repeatedly televised on cable news networks and was the talk of late-night comedy shows  |
