TROOP TRICKS: OBAMA STAGES FAKE MILITARY RALLY
Atlas Shrugs ^ | April 13, 2009 | Pamela Geller

This is so evil ..... and the corrupt media is in lock step, goose step.

I watched that poor piece of theater and I knew it ........ well, at least we know the few in the military who are anti-American. Obama’s Potemkin Military Reception Flopping Aces (hat tip Dave)

“Cheered wildly by U.S. troops,” begins Jennifer Democratic Operative Loven’s AP report on Obama’s surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday. Quite a contrast to the silent treatment Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how did Obama manage to fix that little problem? According to a sergeant in Iraq :

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.

As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:

....Snip!...

The truth is the “surprise visit” was purposly leaked so that Obama could get the optimium MSM adulation.

Once that happened, it would have been to dangerous for him to move around in Iraq. If his visit would have been a genuine surprise, like the times Bush went there, Obama could have moved around a bit.

As usual with the O admin, all hat and no cowboy.

“They asked us who wanted to go see President Bush.”

The thing here is that they asked the soldiers who voted for Obama.

You were asked if you WANTED to go see President Bush.

Big difference.

Look at that faggy, limp-wristed REMF in the center of the photo.

As a former infantryman, I agree with some previous analysis I saw which indicates there wasn’t a single combat arms troop in the bunch. The whole lot are chairborne rangers.

And remember, civilians are issued ACUs in theater. I wouldn't assume soldier unless I saw a chest patch.

I agree. I just wonder who it was that asked that question. It must have been somebody with the military...I think.

I think the media is making much ado about nothing.

You've missed the whole point, THE MEDIA is not telling you this. It came out on a BLOGGERS website. If you read the whole article she makes it crystal clear any manipulation of the troops by Bush , real or imaginary , was covered. It's this kind of staged "truth" that led to an ineligible Marxist America-hating Muslim to usurp the Presidency .

Just goes to show you why they decided to stage the pictures. The truth was getting out and the truth to these people is like sunlight to a vampire.

Look for the CIB’s in the first photo. I don’t see any. The second set looks like marines and they don’t wear them.

You were asked if you WANTED to go see President Bush.

Big difference.

Whenever senators or Congress reps come to Iraq, e-mails go out from the Public Affairs Office announcing who will be here and asking those interested in attending a lunch or some other PR-type event to contact the PAO.

In other words, it's a voluntary thing and nobody is ever asked for whom they voted.

I'd sure like some independent verification of this. I know from being deployed that there is a limited number and type of items to buy at the exchange. You can look around and see lots of folks wearing the same running shoes, listening to the same MP3 player, sporting the same t-shirts, using the same digital camera...whatever was in the last shipment from the states...
