Truth is that the event was not staged, the troops were telling their real feelings: that they support the war and our President.
I guess they might have this story mixed up with the "planted question" to Sec. Rumsfeld back in December 2004.
Yet, that wasn't the case here, Soldiers when asked, will tell you the truth.
Just like in this picture,
they tell it like it is!Michelle Malkin has links to other reactions. Also Blogs for Bush.
UPDATE I: Michelle has a further reponse from one of the soldiers in the video. Here's an excerpt:
"First of all, we were told that we would be speaking with the President of the United States, our Commander-in-Chief, President Bush, so I believe that it would have been totally irresponsible for us NOT to prepare some ideas, facts or comments that we wanted to share with the President.
We were given an idea as to what topics he may discuss with us, but it's the President of the United States; He will choose which way his conversation with us may go.
We practiced passing the microphone around to one another, so we wouldn't choke someone on live TV. We had an idea as to who we thought should answer what types of questions, unless President Bush called on one of us specifically.
President Bush told us, during his closing, that the American people were behind us. I know that we are fighting here, not only to preserve our own freedoms, but to establish those same freedoms for the people of Iraq. It makes my stomach ache to think that we are helping to preserve free speech in the US, while the media uses that freedom to try to RIP DOWN the President and our morale, as US Soldiers. They seem to be enjoying the fact that they are tearing the country apart. Worthless!"
Damn Right Sarge, from this old Sarge - Hurrah!
