I re-read the article and all I got out of it was that Kerry was greeted "warmly" (meaning he wasn't shot at or hounded out of town) by the troops and an Iraqi restaurant manager at the Rashid Hotel. I don't know where Lucianne got the "cheering" part. I'll have to go over the article again.
From those photos, Kerry's presence was about on par with Hillary's visit. Some of the troop's expressions don't look as if they are really, really glad to be in the company of the wimpy waffler.
Morale is VERY high since W won the election!

Remember this article is written through the view of this San Francisco reporter and they will play his reception up. I love the responses Kerry got in what frustrated the soldiers when they said the good they do is not being reported. Kerry won't say anything good. This is nothing but a photo opportunity and attempt to rehabilitate his pathetic image for 2008 when he runs again. He will always be a smarmy traitor.
Yup. That SF reporter sure misleads with that "cheering troops" headline. And the MSM, er, Old Media wonder why the majority of Americans believe most journalists have a left-wing bias and are willing to stretch the truth, use bogus info, and sometime outright lie to shore up a liberal politician's image.
Busted, yet again.
Don't forget that they have an inadequate supply of gig line, BT punch and bulkhead remover.
And an extra 10 feet of runway! oh yes, the board stretcher is crucial.
Obviously, you know all the classics!
