Military leaders line up on toe marks at the direction of a White House aide, left, prior to President Bush's remarks on defense spending, Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007, after a meeting at the Pentagon. From second from left are, are Coast Card Commandant Adm. Thad Allen, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley, Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen and Vice President Dick Cheney.
In this photo which I posted on the dose on Thursday you can see the VP trying not to look to the left as the others assemble themselves for a photo but you can tell the temptation is too great and you can see them famous Dick Cheney suppressed humour in the way he is trying not to smile.
