Simply not true...I saw the mother today on GMA and when Diane asked that question, she said no...she didn't even know that the Iraqi woman would be there.

Maybe it was staged - So what? If it was they didn't count on the Dog Tags getting tangled up in the Iraqi Woman's dress. Better rehearsals needed.

I sent him and ronboy an email telling them what I thought of their disgusting suggestion. I also think they both owe these people and the president an apology for it. They make me sick.

Questioned on GMA this morning, Mrs. Norwood said that "the hug" was unplanned and purely spontaneous.

Clinton Staged hundreds of photo ops, from having his own folks throw american flags on the ground in Normandy over graves so Bubba could pick it up to the set of stones that miraculously appeared for him to create his cross.

DEMOCRATS HAVE NO MORALS, THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE FOLKS WHO DO.

Democrats are the Kooks Cluck Klan... Kooks who cluck like chickens and a Klan of so ideologically imbred that they cannot even function at any rational level.

Did you notice, though, that when Charlie Gibson was talking about the upcoming segment with the Marine's parents that he said "seemingly spontaneous" hug?
