"At that point, Bush emerged wearing a military jacket and loud cheering began."

I just saw the footage of his first appearance on TV! Those guys couldn't get to their feet and start cheering FAST ENOUGH! They literally ALL jumped when they saw him!

I am in anguish because I am cable impaired! LOL Thanks all for putting up stills. ABC carried footage for a while but I want to see the troops when he first surprised them. A riend said it brought tears to her eyes... to theirs too, no doubt! God Bless President Bush!

When I first heard of this I thought it was a joke! No joke and this is the greatest thing for those troops for their morale. I cant imagine how the Secrete Service coped with this. No doubt whole cases of malox are being consumed by them now.

It must have been a great shock too the First Lady. She must know that W is the #1 target of the terrorist, yet the President is flying right into the snakepit! I feel for her, but that's one of the price of Freedom that must be paid. God Bless the President and the First Lady of this great land.
