His Christmas message was delivered by phone

“He said he couldn’t thank them enough for their contribution to their country, hopes they are in high spirits, and that they are serving a cause that is very noble,” Fox News has White House press secretary Dana Perino saying, going on:

“The president told them he knew it is difficult for their children to grow up as their parents are serving away from home, but said they would later appreciate the sacrifices for their country.”

Yes. Well …..

Bush is at Camp David with Laura Bush, Jenna and Barbara and Laura Bush’s mother, Jenna Welch,” says the story, adding:

“Later this week the president will head to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, were he will spend New Years.”

“In Afghanistan, 469 Americans have been killed since Operation Enduring Freedom was launched, including over 100 this year.Z”
