You are not cynical enough Dale.. First little video clip on the Carrier is not usable for next year so this was just a little jaunt to cook up another one.. You know, the Commander in Chief having dinner with the grunts who are being shot at every day..

Dale, Bush's PR stunt at Barfbag International Airport won't be more than a momentary blip on anyone's consciousness. What is going to be a more grinding reality for the dummkopfs in the Army Reserves and the National Guard is nicely summed up in their own paper, the Army Times: armytimes.com "Stop Loss" is a polite way of telling the weekend warrior crowd that they've been made the designated chumps in Bush's game of Monopoly-Empire™. Bush is creating a huge resentment among men and women who are losing their businesses, their careers and their incomes with Bush's cavalier and bogus occupation. Not only do the chumps have to stump up for a full year deployment in a sheethole of a country. They also have to commit to at least an additional 90 days on the front end of that commitment for stateside training, and possibly another 90 days on the back side. A total of a year and half commitment to a very suspiciously corporate fiasco.
