In 2003, George W. BUSH, who was the president at the time, did something surprising—he flew to Iraq on Thanksgiving to visit U.S. troops. While he was there, a famous photo was taken of him holding a huge, golden-brown turkey on a platter. It looked like a perfect Thanksgiving dinner, and it got a lot of attention.
 But here’s the catch: that turkey wasn’t meant to be eaten. It was just for decoration! The troops actually ate regular meals from the cafeteria, like turkey slices and mashed potatoes, not the fancy one Bush was holding. Some people thought the photo was kind of fake, like it was staged to make him look good. They said it was more about creating a 'feel-good' moment for the cameras than showing the real situation.
Others, though, thought it was nice that he showed up at all. They believed it was about lifting the spirits of the soldiers, even if the turkey wasn’t for eating.
 This photo is a good example of how powerful images can be. They can make something seem a certain way, but the real story might be different. It’s also a reminder to think critically about what you see in the media—sometimes there’s more going on than meets the eye!
