I wondered about this at the time. It did surprise and disappoint me that troops were cheering for him and applauding him, trying to touch him and take pictures of him. Now it all makes sense.
How disgusting. President Creampuff is a whore.
I looked at the same video.
How (without political bias) did you determine it was “staged” ???
Soviet-era style propaganda (as my lovely wife pointed out earlier)
Yes but his teleprompter still loves him!
I thought it was odd that there was only 1 photo from that visit.
OMG. This makes perfect sense considering how embarrassed Obama must have been at the lack of welcome they had previously given him.
Different Presidents, A Different Corps

Phony. Just like this whole fiasco of an administration.
forget the fact I didn't buy this PR stunt in the first place but don't be lazy next time get a variety of cameras.
I suspected this was the case the minute I saw the picture. These people have no class, as well as no shame.
Hmmm, I’m at Al Faw Palace, and I can assure everyone that the event was staged in that soldiers were asked to come. There was, I repreat, no prescreening. I voted for GW, and have no kind words for the current, but I cannot let reality be distorted.
Another point on the cameras: Most times when you see random groups of ‘kids’ (anyone under 35) taking pictures, the vast majority use cell phones. There are no cell phone cameras in this photo, lending even more credibility to the story.
