Maybe he thought they were saluting him? It’s the Teleprompter’s fault no doubt.

Haven't seen this in any SRM papers or TV. "We are ending the war in Iraq and recognizing a Palestinian nation to help end misunderstandings between us and the Muslin world." "I want to reiterate a new beginning between the Muslim world and us. An important part of this is listening. From around the world we have received an outpouring of how the US can be a better neighbor (speechless!).

Homeland Security: In a sign background checks are far too lax, an alarming number of Arabs and Muslims have landed sensitive government jobs only to be caught later spying for the enemy.Guarding against penetration by terrorist agents and sympathizers should be a top concern of public agencies, but it's not.
