re: #49 Guanxi88

Yes, but this was an obvious and transparent attempt to “make the news” to the liking of the White House, whihc, in this case, extended to the uniforming of the participants. That they had a stock of such things on hand and ready to go shows they were prepared for a level of image manipulation not seen since the Obama campaign itself.

It was a hell of a lot cheaper than the “Mission Accomplished” photo op on the aircraft carrier.

Business as usual.
