A picture is worth a thousand words...

Sent to me via e-mail... *heheheh* (I think the sign he's giving is pret-ty close...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has already started her 2008 presidential campaign by aligning herself with the military and pretending to be tough on terror. Fortunately, the ultra-liberal Hillary has yet to brainwash all of the voting public in to believing that her symbolism is really substance. Many have never forgotten that when she was co-president for eight years she was quoted as saying: "I loathe the military."

The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of "coercion" with his left hand. These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POWs as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo--perhaps because she's never understood our military to begin with.

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in Washington, D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.

That means that you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington.

The soldier should also be wearing a necklace of garlic, and holding up a cross to Her Heinousness's face!

Don't get me wrong here, I agree with most of what you have posted excetp this. You are citing only the casualites, not counting those who have been wounded. Also, the primary weapon used by the insurgents in Iraq is not small arms but IED's. Iraq is still a more violent place than the D.C. area, but not by much.

I remember this photo from two years ago. Didn't know it was still floating around on the internet. It's a great photo.

[T-Girl]

Yeah... I suppose that part could very well have been left out of this -- since it's the picture that's really the point here.

My brother just pointed out to me another one that's been floating around for some time now... it's equally as good:

Thanks for pointing that out. I saw the pic quite a while ago, but I figured it was the signal for "I'm lying"! Good for him!

[phoenix0468]

I'm proud of that specialist!!

Fast thinking, Soldier! Good for him! Does this qualify as "hand to hand combat with the enemy"?
I hope he decontaminated after that photo. God knows where Hillary's paw has been......
