...That as Cheney got off the Helicopter, they had a MANNEQUIN, dressed up as a U.S. Soldier, standing guard next to the Helicopter!!!???!!!

That's Odd?!:wtf:

Oh and TONIGHT's guest: Michael Beschloss, author "Presidential Courage" (and why we don't have one with that anymore):evilgrin:

3. I think that was a real soldier, but he did look mannequin-ish.

But maybe they are having to resort to droids because they're running out of human soldiers...

4. I think we need another look-see, because I'm almost 100% sure that was a mannequin.

To be clear, I'm talking about the one that was standing with it's back to the Helicopter, the one that the other soldier was adjusting the uniform of.:evilgrin:

5. The army can't find enough that WONT take a poke at Mr. "Other Priorities".

If I was there I would be happy to spend 60 days in the hole with only bread and water to flip him the bird on national television.

He sure does stand like one though.

But did you notice Cheney's Body Armor?:evilgrin:

Hey, things are looking good over there.

Edit: You can see it (the Body Armor) in the pictures at the Reuters website!
