and photos ops are staged for a reason... to convey an emotion. here the emotion was, cool Bush went to Iraq and saw 600 soldiers. It might make some people feel more positive at home, and might make the troops feel a little closer to home. did he deserve some additional credit? not my beef here.
did he deserve to have politically motivated reporters question who ate some turkey? I think this was the point of the fight. I vote no.
