  • The President saluting a man who's right arm is in a sling!

    In a bubble of self-importance one tends not to clearly see the pain of others, I suppose.

  • Is it just my imagination or does that soldier look peeved?

  • My thoughts exactly: that looks like one PO'd GI.

  • I think the soldier's expression is why this caught my eye.

    And EPM, I didn't notice that.

  • I also wondered if the giddy woman in the business suit is a part the Bush photo-op entourage or part of the Frias family.

    The soldier and the modestly dressed woman (whom I presume to be a family member) appear underwhelmed with his Highness's presence, to put it mildly.

    And that's one half-assed, patronizing salute Bush has goin' on there.
