If you believe President Bush's visit to Iraq for Thanksgiving was just a glorified photo op, read this and then ask yourself if you still believe it.
Email from Participant at President Bush's Thanksgiving
Of course it was an opportunatity to have some good pictures taken. But I don't believe that's why he went. I believe he went because he genuinely cares about the troops that are serving in Iraq, and everywhere else. Like it says in the linked post, he spent 17 hours in the air, each way, to fly into the most dangerous airport in the world and spend a couple of hours with the troops.
I don't agree with everything the President has done (though in my case it's because he hasn't acted as enough of a conservative on certain issues) but, when it comes to acknowledging those to whom we owe our freedom, the man gets it.
