Pete Souza - White House Photo / via AP
A detail crop of Clinton from the Situation Room picture.
Update, May 5, 10:09 a.m.
The Secretary of State made some comments in Rome today calling the common interpretation of her expression in this picture into question. From the NBC News HOT file:
THESE REMARKS WERE MADE IN ROME THIS MORNING ABOUT THE PHOTO SNAPPED WHILE WATCHING THE OPERATION TO TAKE DOWN BIN LADEN IN THE SITUATION ROOM...THE QUESTION ASKED WAS WHAT WAS SHE THINKING AT THE TIME:
06:20:55 --Now with respect to your second question, those were 38 of the most intense minutes. I have no idea what any of us were looking at at that particular millisecond when the picture was taken. I'm somewhat sheepishly concerned that it was my preventing one of my early spring allergic coughs, so it may have no great meaning whatsoever. 06:21:18
Film at 11. . . Here's the video:

Pete Souza / The White House
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House, May 1. Please note: a classified document seen in this photograph has been obscured.
This image is history in real time.
As the AP reported:
WASHINGTON — From halfway around the world, President Barack Obama and his national security team monitored the strike on Osama bin Laden's compound in real time, watching and listening to the firefight that killed the terrorist leader.
Gathered in the White House Situation Room, members of the group held their breath and barely spoke as they waited to see whether a carefully crafted yet extremely risky plan would succeed, said White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan. Obama had been playing golf but returned to the White House for the suspenseful watch Sunday.Related: How satellites helped get Osama.

Clintons look was of sheer horror...... I know All Americans wanted him dead..... but for thegroup of people to see the actual horrors of what war really is.... will have to remember that for the rest of their lives. IMHO a long painfull death was what he deserved... but I wouldn't have wanted to watch it.
You know it irks me to no end that somehow the press seems to think that even our thoughts and emotions are somehow mandatory and or obligatory prey in the unceasing 24 hour a day news cycle. One would do well to remember the old line of " One picture being worth a thousand words" and just let us , the end consumer of that photo make of it what we will. Chris Matthews has a bug up his butt for this woman and his snide remark on his show last night was uncalled for. The press is always complaining about the thought police when it suits their evening broadcast but when the are the offending party, all you hear is whining. Get over yourselves. You are not entitled to peoples thoughts !
all of that COKE the Bill and Hillary moved around with BUSH back home.
Bill and Hillary the Secret Life...........YOUTUBE OR GOOGLE
