White House Press Pool Report: Bush's Surprise Visit to Troops Headed to Iraq [MUST READ]

He's quiet and unassuming, and when he speaks you know you are hearing the truth. He's the genuine article.

Just the difference between photos of President Bush and Clinton (Bill and Hil), Kerry and the other "rats" when they are among the troops is awesome. When Bush is around they are smiling and when the 'rats are around they may be respectful but "guarded".

It's called "genuine" affection as opposed to the bullsh#t fake crap the dems try to pawn off as "real" emotions.

The really sad part about it is that the 'rats will never "get it", cause they are too wrapped up in themselves and can never have an emotion that is about truly honoring those that will sacrifice.

God Bless the troop and safe journey home for all as soon as possible. (wiping tear)

Disgusted look on the Marine's face tells me that he is mentally contemplating how many years in Leavenworth he'd get for decking the pompous windbag in front of him.

...and his inner voice "heck, it would be worth it!".

You got it right. One nice thing about Bush's visit is everyone on that plane will tell other troops and they will tell still others and before you know it morale will be boosted, a real key thing when they get a steady diet of CNN over there.

Well that does it. No more work to be done this afternoon.

"Card said after Bush finished the Bangor rally speech they got word that the logistics would work and Bush gave permission to wait."

That couldda easily been written that Dubyuh "ORDERED" AF1 to wait...MUD

It's kinda sad that we only get to keep him for another 4 years. In some ways he reminds me of President Reagan.

He will still be a relative young man in 2008, and we kept Roosevelt for 3 terms so he could finish the war, so why don't we push for a repeal of the 2 term restriction....

That will get the MSM's panties super tight.

Lieutenant do we have any wooden crosses, holy water or stakes handy?

[Grampa Dave]

I love this President. God Bless and keep him safe! God bless the men and women who protect our country!

God Bless the USA!

Amen!

Bush aides knew the plane was on its way here and due to arrive about 5 minutes after AF1 left. "They pushed the gas pedal a little bit," Card said, and AF1 waited. Card said after Bush finished the Bangor rally speech they got word that the logistics would work and Bush gave permission to wait.

I didn't read this the first time. Now I am REALLY moist-eyed here at work. Godspeed to our troops and our Commander in CHIEF!

So, so cool. Thanks very much for posting this. It's another example of why the internet is so valuable, because this is news we'd never get from the national media.

[Wolfstar]

Thanks for the pings to this great bit of news.

[mware]

OK now I am crying. I am so proud of these brave men and women and our President.

I read in another report that after his shirtsleeves rally, the President changed INTO a jacket and tie to meet the troops. He is a true gentleman, and respectful of everyone.
