We've noted Bush's craving for ovations before (back here). He's up to his old tricks.

And as you read the details of how this Bush photo-op was set up, remember that any one of these soldiers could have faced or could soon face death.

Before Bush appeared, small U.S. flags were handed out, and an officer gave instructions to the troops on how to receive the commander in chief. "We're going to show him a lot of love by waving flags," the officer said. Telling the troops not to salute, he added: "You're going to wave and clap and make a lot of noise. . . . You must smile. We are happy campers here."

Has Bush no decency? At long last, has he no decency?
