As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:

Despicable manipulation and stagecraft ... using our brave military, no less. Sickening fraud!

Nothing new. Clinton did it also.

Unreal manipulation. Someone posted a video showing Bush with Marines and Obama (not this event). It looked like the Marines were picked at random. The Marines cheered for Bush while they were stone cold for O.

Hussein and his people especially Rahm are evil.

I now need to vomit.

As a retired military type for the first time I question the members of the military who voted for this POS.

He traces his entire political career back to communists and still keeps them close. Everything he does is communist in nature and yet there are people in uniform who think he is great.

His anti-US views are not hidden and so I try to find where any military member can vote for him and still not violate their oath of office or enlistment.

BTTT

All we feel is outrage and all we can do is hope and pray the “O” is exposed every day!!!

[rbosque]

When I was in the Navy, they tried to do the same thing when Clinton showed up. They tried to get a welcoming crowd but NO ONE volunteered. People were ordered to greet him.

(I hid.)

You have to know how to get the right photo:

do I really have to say it???

I have a relative serving in the miltary. She is also very close to one of our brave warriors in Iraq.

This relative of mine told me that "No one in my office likes Obama, not even the Democrats. One of the guys actually had a black "armband" tattooed onto his arm to signify his mourning over the loss of our civil liberties."

Her friend in Iraq has told her "I didn't go to Obama's appearance in Baghdad, because if I did, I would have been too tempted to throw one of my boots at him."

[fish hawk]

I guess we are lucky they weren’t handed a little red flag and little red book.

[AmericanVictory]

Comrade Chavez is truly proud.

[rocksblues]

As our military is less than 12% black, this is an awful dark picture.

[ASOC]

Time to take a deep breath.

IF this were the case, we would likely have
1) More than one source - the FOBs do have internet access

2)Sources other than an (un-named) enlisted. IF a superiour (high ranking) officer pulled this kind of blatent stunt, I have no doubt the many professional soldiers would call him/her on it. So we would have more backscatter.

3) Who got the cameras to hand out like candy? Sound lke FWA - again, someone would low the wistle on this part.

IS it possible that the SS (seecrit service) wanted a small group and the local officials thought ‘bammay voters would get the most enjoyment out of the dog and pony show?

THis kind of carp can happen - years ago, when ‘lil Bill and Hil come a visiting to Elmendorf to see “their troops” attendance was madated, so I can see this Iraq as pluasable. THat folk were forved to show was also very well known in the community. Nothing in the press of couse, the Bill and HIll show was a Dem production after all.

In the end, if the group huggie/hopechangethingie was a staged event, it says a lot about the “leadership” of our Nations warfighters, and what it says it not good.

I did think there was a disproportionate number of Black female soldiers in the photos. But I had thought that this was because the visit was to a relatively secure rear-area installation where service troops would predominate. Still possible, I suppose, but the anonymous Sergeant's story is quite credible, and the speed and enthusiasm with which the MSM parroted the “GIs Love Obama” line only increases the Sergeant's a credibility. A put up job from the beginning.

Mac’s Mind
About that Obama Iraq Visit

*snip*

Yeah Jennifer we get the point. Still the lowest casualty rate in any war in the modern era - a testament to the professionalism of our men and women in uniform. Fact is more died on active duty during Clinton’s reign. Nevertheless, about that “surprise visit”.

It wasn’t. The visit was communicated a full 24 hours in advance and a small contingent of soldiers - not screaming hoards - were rustled into a meeting place at Camp Victory.

Got this email from a sergeant that was there.

“We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.”

Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models? Coincidence? I think not.

So much of what the now failing nascent obama regime does IS just one great Potemkin village display.

Of course any carefully choreographed appearance seems to show him being cheered....

The power of a posed “spontaneous” demonstration.
