The Coalition of the Willing Expected A Plan (20 comments )

"Last week, I was in Eastern Europe and Southwestern Asia (if that's where Armenia and Georgia reside) with Howard Dean. We were very well received everywhere, at very high levels. In Budapest, capital of a formerly major contributor to the Coalition of the Willing (I think they had 100 or so drivers in Iraq), a senior advisor to the opposition party, which is conservative, expressed her shock to me that Bush and his team do not have a plan to get out of Iraq. "

I found these pictures of Howard Dean's visit to the memorial for the Armenia genocide victims. Very moving. (Site appears to be loading slowly.)

2. This link seems to work.

I have the best of the pictures up, though. I should not have linked to a personal blog. I do want to give credit for the pics, though.
