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.

Thanks Starwise-BIG PING!
One powerful, informative thread!
404 error on the orig link u must know,
thus I’m pinging this post of yours.
This is so aptly entitled to with ref to Potemkin. Caught enough of Somalian rescue tonight, esp some Geraldo, wherein they’re (MSM) are obviously calling 4 US to lead “coalition” into the coastal city to take out pirates. Fine by me but they are doing sword-rattling for this stinking pretender after glossing Iraq w/ their ready antidotes for their own Bush poison. What a smarmy, despicable lot the MSM is. The populace CAN’T be getting so fooled can they? They surely are if the military prompts it so! I agree these pawns ought to be demoted right out of the service.
God Help us.
