Man, that is so totally low.
This shot is a COMPLETE pr stunt. Note the compete absense of a crowd in front of her listening. This is an attempt to show the soldiers sholder to sholder with the would be NewYorker. I bet the next Hitlary world tour stops have solders ORDERED to stand and cheer when she walks into the room.
I promise that their hearts didn't leap like this when she showed up.
The were probably told way in advance of her arriving and told that showing respect was becoming of them.
And, if there's a link, someone (with greater computer skills than mine) should send it to Rush, Hannity and heck, even O'Reilly.
That's probably why she "can't get no satisfaction", and is pissed and crappy every moment of the day. No G-spot. Bummer. She should call Janet Reno.
Why? Because we will win this war. Those who were against us shall pay.
Agreed.
Also, we are waiting for your column on this...I'm sure it is churning around in your mind. :>)
Sean...oops nevermind you are already on it.
Oh, yes, don't they just seem ecstatic to see "herself"?

WASHINGTON - Arriving in Baghdad hours after President Bush's star turn, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) said yesterday the troops were happy to meet her, too. "It's a positive for the commander-in-chief to visit troops in the field," Clinton said, yet "the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself" and Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) on their joint trip to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Clinton and Reed, both members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, quickly turned from faintly praising Bush for his surprise Thanksgiving drop-in at Baghdad's airport to ripping his handling of the Iraq war and the transition to democracy.
In a conference call from the region, Clinton, who voted in the Senate for the Iraq war resolution, charged that Bush failed to commit enough troops for the invasion and the increasingly bloody occupation effort.
"The Pentagon tried to make do with as few troops as possible, as light a footprint as they could get away with," Clinton said. "Now, we're playing catchup."
She added that the government's Iraq policy was mishandled by Bush administration officials who have been "obsessed with [deposed Iraqi leader] Saddam Hussein for more than a decade."
"Unfortunately, I don't think they fully appreciated the conditions we would encounter," Clinton said.
Reed, who voted against the war resolution, renewed his call for more troops to be committed to Iraq and for more troops to be recruited for the war against terror groups in the future.
"There's no question in my mind we need a larger Army," said Reed, a West Point graduate and former paratrooper.
The two senators, who stayed in Kuwait last night but will visit U.S. troops in the Iraqi oil town of Kirkuk today, also questioned the Bush administration plan to hold elections for a new Iraqi government by June.
Clinton said the support of the majority Shiite community in Iraq was "still a big if. The obstacles and problems are much greater than the administration usually admits to."
The former First Lady said the morale of the troops she met from the Army's 82nd Airborne Division was high, but they were concerned about how their mission was perceived back home.
She said she told the troops "Americans are proud" of them, "but many question the administration's policies."
Get it out to all the friends in the media.
Loving someone doesn't mean you have to love what they think, do or say! You can love someone and still understand that, for their own good, they need the s**t beat out of them.
For their own good.
