When are we going to see some NEW "lunch with the troops" photos? I feel like a kid waiting to open his Christmas presents.

What, you're telling me she won't have time to eat with the troops and shake hands since she already did that once (below)? Aw, shoot!

The Hildabeest came to Baghdad while I was there. She came to the Presidential Palace, now the US embassy, to have lunch with the troops, though none of them would sit with here and if she sat at their table, they finished their meal and promptly left. I was standing at the salad bar when she kind of pushed her way to the front of the line. A SPC (E-4) made the comment "just who in the hell does she think she is?" A Secret Service agent promptly chided him and told him "that's a US Senator you're talking about" to which he replied "So? LGEN Sanchez and Amb. Bremer run this place and they get at the end of the line like everyone else. What makes her so damn special?" Upon hearing this, Clinton got this rather sheepish look on her face but was undeterred. Being an E-7 I can not get away with what a basically bulletproof E-4 can. I did congratulate him later on though for saying what I was thinking but could not say.

By contrast, here is a REAL lady visiting our troops, from www.state.gov:

Notice, she's wearing the exact same outfit in this old photo as she's wearing in the new photos.
