<br />

<br />
May 1, 2003 -- Clad in flight suit and helmet, Bush lands on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and declares "the tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free."

<br />
April 8, 2004 -- Then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice acknowledges to the 9/11 commission that Bush received a briefing a little more than a month before Sept. 11 that was titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States," but she says "no silver bullet" could have staved off the attacks. <br />
<br />

<br />
Jan. 19, 2006 -- Bin Laden warns Americans via an audiotape that al Qaeda is planning more attacks on the United States. There have been more than 15 audio and video messages from him since the Sept. 11 attacks. <br />
<br />
February 2006 -- Columbus, Ohio, police dogs wearing Kevlar vests are cited as one example of money wasted by homeland security. A $100,000 grant to a child pornography tip line is another. <br />
<br />
March 8, 2006 -- Congress renews most of the provisions of the Patriot Act, which the Bush administration says is necessary for keeping America safe from terrorists, but which civil libertarians decry as intrusive and unnecessary. <br />
<br />
March 20, 2006 -- After three years, the war in Iraq continues. It has claimed the lives of more than 2,300 U.S. troops, and 33,000 to 37,000 Iraqis. Bush says the struggle is an essential part of the war on terror. <br />
