Others could see their loved ones headed back to war sooner than anticipated. This is unacceptable. It's unacceptable to me, it's unacceptable to our veterans, it's unacceptable to our military families, and it's unacceptable to many in this country."http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/04/20070410-1.html President Bush Visits Yuma Sector Border Patrol in Arizona - April 9, 2007- April 9, 2007 President Bush on Monday said, "You know, it's interesting, this is the spot I came to in May of 2006.

They told me they were developing a strategy that would prevent people from charging across to try to get to the neighborhood over here.

I've been working to bring Republicans and Democrats together to resolve outstanding issues so that...http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/04/20070409-12.html President and Mrs. Bush Celebrate Easter Sunday at Fort Hood, Texas - April 8, 2007- April 8, 2007 President Bush on Sunday said, "Laura and I just had the honor of celebrating Easter Sunday with members of our Armed Forces.
