I loaded them here:

The 6th photo - does not belong to me - was given to me by another independent photographer that was on tour during the OCT 2005 Iraqi elections - when Sen Biden came to visit — it was my first major diplomatic security detail at the time...he was nothing but trouble and did not understand the violence in the area...he was guarded by Blackwater at the time!

Care to narrow that down a bit. There is an awful lot of info on that page. I don’t know where to start to look for the photos.

For Obama this is all about two things:

1) Virtual guaranteed confirmation (since he is a member in the chummy Senate Club) with no nasty, icky questions about Benghazi being raised.

2) Extending the middle finger and a big “F.U!” to the Swiftboat Vets and their supporters (today’s Democrat Party is all about knee-in-the-groin revenge...even if it’s decades later)

Thanks Kaslin.
Like other presidents before and since -- Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush -- JFK believed that it was America's destiny to advance freedom and democratic self-government, and oppose the world's tyrants... Kerry sees America's role differently... As early as 1966, Kerry wanted America to lower its profile on the international stage... It was one thing to defeat Nazi Germany, but that didn't mean America had to try to win the Cold War too... [And yet] Kerry originally supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and last year backed a no-fly zone in Libya to prevent Moammar Qaddafi from slaughtering the civilians rising against him. But on the whole, Kerry prizes order and stability over liberty and human rights.
That's obviously not true, or he'd have supported Ghaddafy.

Parading around a war zone in a suit would seem to just scream “I’M A TARGET!”

What an idiot.

Did you like that multi-colored green vest he was wearing...must of thought he was back in the Delta - glad we didn’t let him shoot the MK-19 - probably would have frag’d us all!

I was over both op’s getting him in/out - my guys were the actual PSD guys assigned for escort and door duty - which gave me the freedom to extend my hand - which he promptly refused...I guess we should have had a “free” polo from Blackwater for him...

The left has totally erased JFK’s getting us into Vietnam and creating homelessness by emptying the mental institutions, and ending America by giving us the 1965 Immigration Act, and of course, giving us LBJ.

I remember some “folk singers” chanting “Waist deep in the Big Muddy and the Big Fool (LBJ) says “push on.”
