Despite her sour pronouncements, the former first lady insisted that the soldiers were just as glad to see her as they were President Bush, whose surprise visit less than 24-hours earlier was greeted with standing ovations.

"It's a positive for the commander-in-chief to visit troops in the field," Clinton told reporters, adding, "the troops [also] seemed to appreciate seeing myself."

I hate to double post (and likely repeat what was said already), but this is also BS. Soldiers may not be geniuses, but they know when someone is playing them for a photo op.

True! Just look at the pictures...Pictures DON'T lie!

The troops surrounding Bush look positively thrilled. The troops around her look no more thrilled than they would in a cow pasture.
