CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush faced major security challenges on three fronts on Sunday as he prepared to return to Washington after a 10-day working vacation at his ranch.

The fighting in southern Lebanon, concerns about whether there are still suspects at large in the British terror plot and the ongoing war in Iraq represented formidable issues facing the president.

White House officials were under no illusions that a U.N. Security Council resolution reached on Friday night would bring a swift end to the month-old Israeli-Hizbollah conflict, as Israeli forces pushed deeper into Lebanon.

On the British terror plot, two dozen suspects were under arrest, but Bush was concerned that more people involved in the plot remained at large and could represent a threat.

10. *sigh* the MSM is working overtime at it's propaganda

the somber photo, the use of the oxymoron "ten day "working vacation"" (hell, I haven't had more than two days of "vacation" since 2000-and I'm just an illustrator, not the leader of the free world)! The only "concern" * ever has is maintaining his image, making his pals even wealthier and getting in as much R&R as he can get away with. :grr:
