BANGOR, Maine — Former President Bill Clinton surprised U.S. troops arriving from Iraq when a refueling stop for his private plane at the Bangor International Airport coincided with the arrival of two flights carrying soldiers.
Clinton was returning Monday night from Paris where he had met with French President Jacques Chirac to discuss plans for his charitable organization, the Clinton Foundation.

Bad timing. Very bad timing. So sorry our guys and gals had to see it.
Oh come on, who would be more fun to go out and drink with than Bill Clinton?
"Hi, Shancy, it's Bill Clinton," the former president said into the phone..."
"How about I borrow some kneepads from these guys, and you come over to my place?"
Very appropriate that Bill Clinton would meet them in Bangor.
I only hope I live to see the day when the Clintons are nothing but a fading memory.
ooohhhh i can only begin to imagine what i'd say if someone handed me a phone and on the other line I heard "it's Bill Clinton"...... LOL
The mechanical problem being Bubba's weiner getting stuck in his zipper.
LOL...he probably just told his secretary he was going to bang 'er...and so she booked the flight for him.
I thought it was pretty decent of Clintoon to greet the troops. He didn't have to do it, and it wasn't even planned. I don't agree with his politics at all, but I probably would have had a couple things autographed, and some photos snapped, myself.
"I thought it was pretty decent of Clintoon to greet the troops."
Agreed. Some things are bigger then politics as usual. Greeting returning troops is one of them.

Three articles, three different titles and the last two are just reworked by lazy journos.
Nah, they had to pry Mr. Clinton off of one of the flight attendants.
..yeah..surprises like in ...Troops thinking, WTF is this idiot doing here of all places
Doogle
One thing Bill Clinton and W share, is a good sense of humor. When I think of leftists I think of dour, unhappy, miserable people. Even their comedians who get involved in politics (think about the Air America gang) stop being funny. Bill Clinton is the exception. That's one of the reasons why he's one of the few Democrats who claimed success at the national level.
Can you say "Photo Op" (Bubba takes camera persons wherever he goes)
"I probably would have had a couple things autographed..."
Yeah, he could have autographed your penis.
That was low, I shouldn't have said it.
But I did, I'm in that kind of mood.
