“The reason we were able to release a photo, is that it was carefully done so that none of the transfer cases that contained remains were in the picture . . . we were able put those restrictions and control the White House photographer so that the photograph that we released does not cause any of those problems.”
Only in this regime would the caskets of the fallen soldiers be seen as “problems”.
Maybe this is my own version of revisionist history but I thought that President Bush was known to quite frequently and secretly show up at the arrivals of our fallen servicemen, and none of which was used a photo op...
So they snapped a pic of Obama saluting a bunch of empty coffins?
What he described is not a reason for releasing a photo -- it is an attempted justification for having released a photo.
Why release any photo at all?
These people suck!
They need to tell us again...’Controlled release’ of who/what?
They worked up a dramatic photo of who? Our president. This wasn’t supposed to be about him. That is just wrong. I could say so much more, but I won’t. God bless our soldiers and their families, and may God be with them.
