The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of "coercion" with his left hand. These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POW's as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo---perhaps because she's never understood our military to begin with.

Don't know why that signal is being used for Hillary when it should be used for the clueless bozo/lying sack 'o' crap who sent >3,000 Americans (and counting) to their deaths for a lie.

Im guessing (and thats all it is) that the signal would have been used with anyone that was having the forced photo op. I dont really like Billary and that just makes it that much more funny.

Probably because he supports the Military and what we're doing over there.

This is a moot point when you're talking about the same man who sent >3,000 (and counting) American military men and women to their deaths for a lie.

Riiiight. When it's convenient or in the public eye he suddenly remembers to use some of that money for the military and their needs. Of course it's in the public eye because some of those troops have died. The troops and their families know how much he supports them. Luckily not all of them have needed his support to survive. My heart goes out to the other 3500 families and the 100 of thousands who survived but their lives will never be the same.
Maybe in this next election we can get a person with some back bone to get the troops back home where they belong and allow the Iraqi's to decide if they want to fight for their own country or not. Oh and sorry Iraqi's for what we've brought to your country since it'll give you that much more to fight against. But then again you've received more of Bush's support than our troops have realized. Your turn.

Even with the war and the casualties I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that the majority of serviceman would still prefer Bush over Clinton...any Clinton for that matter. The military does not hold them in high esteem.

Well, when you consider that the troops are fed a steady diet of Rehab Rush and even moderate Dems like Ed Schultz get booted off Armed Forces Radio, is it any wonder?
LABF is implying that the troops are too stupid to figure things out on their own.
Nice.

I don't know why this soldier would do that to Hillary. She was one of the biggest supporters of this war... until about a week ago.

So all the right wingers at that website and you knew ahead of time that this soldier would would signal his displeasure with shaking hands with a member of the United States government?

shlt, they only get 1 hour of Rush a day, and they usually don't air him till like 3AM. At least thats how it was when I was listening to AFN.

Schultz didn't get booted off.

And from what I've seen the AFR isn't that popular.

Sorry - I can't see where your link shows that Schultz is on AFR.
Anyway, the point is that Rehab Rush gets steady play while opposing views aren't represented at all.

Pacific time 1200. Rush is 0900 pacific time, 0600 eastern, how many people listen to him that early on the eastern seaboard?

Good thought, but aren't they 13 hours ahead? So that would make it 2200?
Doesn't matter it's semantics, as your point is valid in that their is not a balanced representation of views on the AFR.

10 hours ahead of mountain time.
Something a lot of people don't know but we've also lost over 800 civilian (As in US Citizens) contractors (3,300 wounded) in Iraq too: http://wcco.com/topstories/topstories_story_054144918.html
This is little reported but it is happening. Contractors get paid well to go over there but they get no support, their families get no support. THis is all understood when they go. At least i understood this before i spent 31months over there as a civilian contractor.
I'd just like for some folks to acknowledge that last year civilian deaths accounted for 25% of US losses in 2006. If the pentagon wasn't forced to reveal these numbers via the freedom of information act, we might never have known. This is a great article, everybody should read it. Our real death toll is at 4,300 +, lets not forget that.

Right but people feel less sorry for people that go over for profiteering as opposed to dying for your country in the military.

Sorry to sound like I don't have any feelings, but you are talking "apples vs oranges". Those civilian contractors went there to reap the financial rewards, and they were not forced to go to a "war zone" as our soldier were.
BIG DIFFERENCE!
I understand there a families which are grieving the losses, but it's just NOT THE SAME!
On the same note, we also have over 110000 soldiers who now "qualify" for disabilities related directly to the war.
Nobody ever mentions them. I guess they are just collatoral damages which should'nt be counted!
