bush Photo-Op FLOP! Not One Marine Smile............
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 06:12 AM by leftchick


U.S. President George W. Bush meets with Marines from Alpha Division, 1st Battalion,7th marine Division in Shannnon, Ireland, March 1, 2006. Beset with troubles at home, President George W. Bush headed to South Asia on Tuesday to try to salvage a nuclear deal with India and give a boost to a key ally against al Qaeda, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. It is Bush's first visit to either India or Pakistan, six years after President Bill Clinton's trip to both countries signaled renewed U.S. interest in them. REUTERS/Jim Young

4. I'd say worth a thousand words or so.
And your son is a perceptive little cuss. You should be proud.

7. Well the guy behind W is smiling
but I think it's because he just did something nasty behind W's back. Maybe he cut a big one so everyone will think it came from W?

11. everything is a big joke
to the circus clown known as the president.

the troops seem demoralized, no end in sight of this dirty war and being used as knick-knacks in photo ops.

13. Did you ever notice that, when a Bush photo-op with the real fighters for
freedom is done, they never have the hands visible for most of them?

I mean, there was a smiling soldier/marine with Hillary Clinton with his fingers crossed smack dab in the picture . . .

14. There's two, but then again, it was taken IN IRELAND.
I can't figure all the grim faces. Tired? Pissed? Working at lining up and getting out of there?

16. You think they WOULD be smiling
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 08:56 AM by rocknation
Since they're probably really undercover black-ops. It's rumored that the soliders in Bush's famous Thanksgiving in Iraq photo-op were CIA agents.

17. It most reminds me of
that episode of MASH where they found home movies of Frank Burns's wedding, and Burns was the only one smiling.

18. There are three in the upper right hand corner that seem to be joking
about something and they are totally not focused on the sociopath in chief.
