The subdued response from the soldiers is backfiring!
The media is commenting on it and it's sounding more like the troops are not buying what he's selling. No matter what the soldiers were told, their quietness hurt more than anything else.
Haven't heard but was surprised there was no applause when he entered. This is interesting.
Off subject but, Bush looked awfully red. Was thinking stroke, high blood pressure or something. Probably too much makeup. He was nothing but boring. Worst speech so far.
3. They were instructed to be subdued and serious before the speech
They couldn't clap when he entered because they were standing at attention.
But it came off rather differently on the screen, I thought. The room was just too quiet and as subdued as the soldiers were it just didn't play well. At least that's what I'm getting.
The press is going on too much about it to the point that they're overplaying it. People will be talking about it tomorrow.
