With Obama being shamed into going to Iraq and/or Afghanistan, there will be plenty of military hardware and personnel for his handler's photo-op pleasure.
Of course, for the rest of us, there is always the likelihood that he will be set up for a photo op in some kind of military thing that is going to look damned ridiculous and funny a la the Tank Riding Michael Dukakis or the Bunny Suit Wearing John Kerry!
I am willing to bet money his handlers are sweating...I can just hear the conversations now:
OBAMA HANDLER #1: "No tanks. For God's sake, we cannot let him near any tanks! And NO coveralls, body suits, flight suits or flame suits."
OBAMA HANDLER #2: "What if he gets invited up to the cockpit of the plane? Or if he begins to talk to a door gunner on a helicopter? "
OBAMA HANDLER #1: "Just don't let him, dammit! And if anyone tries to put a pilots helmet or a kevlar helmet on them, grab Obama's arm and pull him away! A flack jacket is okay, or even holding a gun. But no helmets, especially not one that allows his ears to show! Trip, fall, call out 'INCOMING', anything, just don't let a helmet go on with his ears sticking out!"
OBAMA HANDLER #2: "Oh God!" (wails) "What are we going to do?"
OBAMA HANDLER #3: "It's simple. It is a long flight over. I have some date rape drug that I keep for the little hotties in the press pool. (Just don't tell anyone.) We can slip it in his scotch while he his having a smoke, and Presto! Once he's out, we can trim his ears down!"
(Other OBAMA HANDLERS stare at him with open gaping mouths)
OBAMA HANDLER #3: "Look. I know it sounds extreme, but we can make up some kind of story...maybe Juba the Sniper was lying in wait for him, and shot off the tips of both ears, or an IED got him, whatever. The bandages only have to stay on a few days...maybe we could keep him out of the camera range somehow..."
OBAMA HANDLER #1: (To OBAMA HANDLER #2) "You wuss. You're fired." (Points at OBAMA HANDLER #3) "You're promoted. You're a sneaky sh*t. Make it happen. I know nothing about this."
And if an NBC cameraman should catch Osama yelling “allah akbar” as he passes a burned out Humvee at the side of the road what will happen to that footage?
His "The Tale of My Uncle" was all he could add to his resume.
Search him for a bomb-belt.
