Pictures simply capture a MOMENT. There are only three people who know what that helicopter was really like.

Kool-ade is loaded with sugar and bad for your teeth. I didn't say the picture made him President. If you are under the impression that visual media does not have a strong influence, you are grossly mistaken. Do you check yourself in a mirror before you step out in the morn. or before an important event? Ever ask yourself why?

It's funny how small that flak jacket is that he is wearing. If they really wanted to protect him they would have given him a larger one. Looks like they are semi-protecting him.....or the fact that the troops have $hit for supplies is biting him in the arse.

Yep, pictures do say a thousand words. It's too bad McCain doesn't show nearly as well in photos as Bush or Obama do.

It was over a long time ago. Just look at the Rockefeller support for Obama, and who Obama's national security advisor is, Zbigniew Brzezinski. There is no hope for this nation. McCain and Obama are CFR puppets.

For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.
—David Rockefeller, "Memoirs" autobiography (2002, Random House publishers), page 405

Well, I could've sworn it was a fisherman hanging out with the troops.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a hero until 1963.

Yes - this was the photo taken when he said

McCain recently claimed that there “are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today.” In a press conference after his Baghdad tour, McCain told a reporter that his visit to the market today was proof that you could indeed “walk freely” in some areas of Baghdad.

The visit where he was wearing a bulletproof vest, flanked by soldiers (with 100 more surrounding), 2 helicopters following him.
