Bush's Latest Photo Op
President Bush is pulling at the heartstrings in his latest photo op. He's featured today shaking the new prosthetic hands of seven Iraqis whose hands were ordered amputated in 1995 at Abu Ghraib under Saddam Hussein. Bush does not deserve any credit:
Don North, a documentary producer, discovered the men last year and sought help for them in the United States, and a Houston journalist, Marvin Zindler, helped arrange for their surgeries and publicized their story.
Joe Agris, the plastic surgeon who fitted the men with high-tech hands last month, donated his services. The prosthetic devices, valued at $50k each, were also donated.
This is a shameless photo-op by Bush to support his war.
