guess who!!! his last name starts with O and rhymes with bama. a turd as predicted. i like how the media said hes here for the troops yet he didnt want to talk to any of us and when they tried to take a picture with the Marines that escorted him thru the city, he was whining saying "ok ok i think one should be good enough."

of course the news will say how he was here supporting us and all that hoop lah.

i cant believe i just said hoop lah.


ETA: yaaaa my computer decided to post this twice.

hate to hear that, but yeah I figured he wasn't there for the troops, only there to further himself.

obviously this isn't true. the news showed us Obama yesterday being applauded by all the troops and then he made a 3 pointer in front of them as they cheered him on. the troops support obama, duh!

I remember back when Clinton was CIC...He stopped at Naval Base Norfolk (1995 IIRC) for a visit...we were briefed that regardless of our opinion of him we weren't allowed to "Boo" him because his is the CIC (Respect the rank not the individual).


Did the troops in Iraq get a similar briefing?

Did they make him fill sand bags to get into the chowhall?

I bet Ramadi doesn't do that anymore.

I've been in on bullshit like that a bunch.  The forst time was LBJ in Berlin.  Then McNamara in SE/Asia, then Carter in Korea.  I actually had to restrain a guy to keep him from taking a pot shot at McNamara's helo.  The press will report what they want, you won't have any say.  

The sad thing with all of them is that the Martinets and Bootlickers will come out of the officer ranks no matter what.

We escorted ex-Senator Chuck Robb when he came to Camp Fallujah. We had a lot of briefings because it was a delicate situation.
