The analysts also noted that one of Bush's past attempts to boost morale over Iraq had backfired.

Bush landed in a navy jet on the deck of a US aircraft carrier on May 1 and announced to assembled crew, below a banner stating "Mission Accomplished", that major warfare had ended in Iraq.

Well, that didn't take long.

"It was a real motivator for me personally," said Specialist James Echols, 22, of Luverne, Alabama. "He took time away from his family to meet us." Bush is the latest in a line of presidents who have had to boost the morale of US soldiers on the frontlines.

And then there was Bubba Clinton picking up that stone at Normandy -- thereby "boosting the morale" of WWII ghosts at his photo-op.

Perhaps the point of this trip had nothing to do with polls here in the States. Bush was concerned about his troops.

Sure Sure. Even the fools over at Democratic Underground know President Bush pulled the Coup of the Century today.

The are crying all over themselves about this President.

Clinton would just be getting a Thanksgiving Hummer in the Oval Office.

"I think the troops are demoralized, dealing with problems. If the commander-in-chief comes, even though only for two hours in the airport, it helps them," said Judith Kipper, a Middle East expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.

the troops are demoralized????

I don't visit DU (ever) but if anybody wants to post this photo there, I'm sure it will kill about half of their regular posters from convulsive spasms and head explosions:
