The Turkey That Went to Baghdad

I have to say, "Good job, President Bush." Your 5:30am Thanksgiving appearance in Baghdad was the right thing to do and I'm sure that all of our troops in the region appreciated the risks you took to join them for the holiday.

However, the claim that Air Force One was spotted by a British Airways pilot, who was then told the plane was a Gulfstream.... Probably not. From the administration that brought you, 'Bring 'em on, because American deaths are a sign of success,' and so much more fantasyland garbage, the media is having a hard time corroborating White House claims about the cloak and dagger, daring night flight to Baghdad.

It's this kind of thing that bothers me. Bush does a decent, good thing, but then faceless voices in the administration have to exaggerate everything until it isn't even decent and good. It's just a PR stunt. Happy Thanksgiving, troops. You all get to star in campaign commercials next year.
