Is there no level of shame that Barack Obama and the left will not sink to? President Obama announces today he will allow news organizations to photograph returning fallen heroes at Dover AFB. Old Glory Radio Morning Report 02/26/09

How do you know he didn’t? Would you like him to quit now?
Also,
Q: Where is the guidance on this policy?
A: It’s not out there yet.
I’m sure there are questions like:
Who is in charge? The Air Force? Each Service? CENTCOM?
Is this a blanket policy for all?
Do the families have any say?
What it there are multiple bodies on the plane?
What if one family wants photos and one does not?
How will it affect flight operations on this busy base?
IMHO, there is lot to work out.
Did BHO want to change the policy? Yes. However, we don’t know what we don’t know.
Well THAT’S a comfort - and really big of Obong-o. How long will it last when Afghanistan ramps up, they refuse to allow troops to carpet bomb the hills and lots more kids come back in those coffins? Will we even be REMINDED of this auspicious decision? What a great leader...
Gates is a spineless SOB .

Last night, I picked up a copy of the latest Army Times, and cried while I read an article about how some soldiers are buried in a way called “co-mingled.” They recently laid to rest the co-mingled remains of two soldiers who had been ambushed, and their bodies recoverd about a year later. Many of our brave soldiers who are killed in helicopter crashes are buried in one communal grave, co-mingled, b/c the heat from the blaze and crash they perished in made it impossible for dna to be extracted and tested. There was a listing of all co-mingled burials.
The mother of one of the brave soldiers was so movingly sad...she and the wife of the other brave soldier were pictured at the burial...my heart is breaking for our soldiers and their families.
Obama is a piece of excrement and seeks nothing more than political gain of some kind from his jackass decision.
I can’t believe he is gonna expose grieving families to the press...Excuse, me grieving family, can we photograph the casket of your dead loved one? Here, sign this paperwork, and remember, you never know WHEN you’ll turn on the damn TV and see this picture, as we are apt to run it anytime we wish. Just sign here, here, and here.
Wonderful post! May I add something else? His campaign was funded by HUGE amts of money from overseas - why? The payback this guy has racked up for these contributions will do us in in NO time!
Obama to allow manipulation of deceased military.
There corrected it
“The media will use photos of those caskets for their own
political gain.”......
Exactly! The pictures will show up in anti-war documentaries and programs!
Spot on, freekitty.
No, the photos have become the way for the people who already mocked them, to further abuse them and this nation.
Only we see them aas the grim reminded, not the people in the battle to release them.
How about the evening news every evening, “today’s arrivals”, feau solemn moment as they demagogue the issue...
There will be a special place in hell for these folks.
I would like Gates to quit. His staying now gives Obama a veneer of legitimacy.
And the old saw about him staying so he can try to protect the troops? The troops would adore anyone who publically called Obama a usurper, a traitor, and then quit.
They see right through the guys who remain in those high paid positions only “for the troops”.
It’s BS and they all know it.
I wonder if they’ll let the people murdered in Chicago be photographed?
Nor I, and this is their representative that they’re so proud of. As their glorified representative my feelings toward him apply to them.
The troops would adore anyone who publically called Obama a usurper, a traitor, and then quit. Like Admiral Fallon?
Do you know who Ronald Fogleman is?
When you have four or five bodies returning at the same time, who’s responsibility will it be to only allow the media to photograph the one soldier’s body that the family gave permission for. Of course, this is assuming that one family did indeed give permission.
“
Bring the bodies back to Area 51. No photogs there.
Then distribute them to their homes for burial.
The airline bringing them back won’t mind one little bit.
Hey! If you don’t mind, I’d like not to be hit.
Also, look at the bottom of each FreeRepublic page - where do you think it’s based?
Oh, don’t you know a LEADING military family’s rights group WANTS this exposure to the msm.
Cindee Sheehag no doubt.
This will backfire on Obama because it’s HIS WAR NOW!
