#1 Amid extremely high security measures in Islamabad that left parts of the city almost deserted, Mr Bush was driven from the US embassy to Gen Musharraf's compound on Saturday in a long convoy watched over by four helicopters

The BBC's Zaffar Abbas, who is in Islamabad, says US and Pakistani attack helicopters have been hovering overhead since early in the morning.

#2 He had to visit the Mush. If he falls, the entire region will go up in flames.

#7 At least President Bush had a good (some say historic) India trip.

Seems to have enjoyed himself...

Pres. Bush and Indian PM Singh

As did Dr. Rice.

Indian President Abdul Kalam is to the right of Laura Bush.

The Men in red at the back are the Indian Presidential Bodyguard, the oldest regiment in the Indian Army, raised in 1773 as the "Governor's Troop of Moghals"

#8 That pic of Bush watching Condi's entrance has been circulating heavily, sometimes with a snicker. From what I've read, she's become pretty much a member of the family and both Bushes admire and like her a lot.

I gotta admit this president puts his nominations where his mouth is. Condi carries far more weight in forming international policy than Maddsy ever did.
