Bush serves table display "turkey" to troops.
Just saw on MSNBC (story by the guy with red hair and glasses and the airhead woman) that the turkey Bush "served" to the troops was a table display and was for the photo op only. (9:20am)

3. Bingo
I had heard that AF1's windows had been blacked out. Can you think of any possible reason for this? Didn't want the reporters to see where Baghdad was? Afraid passing Iraqi planes would look into the AF1 windows and see Dana Bash?

If this is indeed true, that the windows were blacked out, then the warehouse in Kentucky angle would seem par for the course for the Bush admin. There is NO logical explanation to black out the windows. Other than to keep the reporters from seeing the Kentucky skyline as they approached.

14. Blacked out windows
I think they just meant they pulled down those plastic curtain things that airplanes have. They didn't want any interior lights from the plane showing as they approached Baghdad to give the rebels something to aim their missiles at.

I don't :tinfoilhat: they actually went to Baghdad. That would be too big a deception for even this WH to pull off.

I do think they invented the British Airways story, and it is funny the turkey was nothing but a prop.

It was nothing but a photo op, heck he didn't even sit down and eat with the troops did he? I think like the Mission Accomplished photo except for the * worshippers it's already fraying.

8. and the British Airways "spotting of AF 1" story is fake too....
Bush flew to Baghdad under cover of darkness, with the shades pulled down to black out the plane and from what I've read, with the running lights of the plane turned off.

Can anyone tell me how you "spot" a blacked out plane from the air and identify it as AF 1? Gimme an effing break.

12. Why did Bucky go in the first place?
What was the national security issue for her to go to the Turkey Day Photo Op? If the "mission" was so dangerous, wouldn't national security be better served with her in DC. Why didn't high ranking DOD officials go instead?

13. Its not that they wouldn't. Its "the couldn't"
Condi isn't interested in sex (sadly, sexual intercourse doesn't excite her the way earning money does, so she doesn't even waste her time worrying about it) and Bush has done so many drugs and so much drinking that there probably isn't enough Viagra in the world to help him out.

16. That faux turkey needs a name. How about "Honeysuckle Hoax" or ...
... the "Bullshit Butterball"
