My wife and I look for ways to always support the troops, including sending care packages regularly to them.

I think it reflects the reality on the ground, that this was an important milestone that's been achieved by the Iraqi people, and it's a significant development. It's a real hopeful moment for democracy in Iraq.

The collapse of the administration's rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise. In this case, the 'liberal media' didn't live up to its reputation. If it had, the country would have been better served.

I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself.

We are disappointed at the decision. The president remains fully committed to building a culture of life ... that is built on valuing life at all stages.

In survey after survey, the Iraqi people say, 'We want to choose our leaders.'

As press secretary, I spent countless hours defending the administration from the podium in the White House briefing room.
