The thing about high-level visits to Iraq... it's generally not a good idea to tell the people who might want to kill a high-level American when that American is going to visit. That's why you never hear exactly when Bush or McCain are planning to put wheels down in Baghdad.

So... was McCain having an ultimate senior moment when he gave potential assassins a window to shoot for?

If there are two things that we know about John McCain, it's that he doesn't like to talk about being a P.O.W...except for when he's constantly talking about it or putting out ads featuring it, and that only he understands war and all that it entails. So why in the hell would he cheerfully reveal information like this? Did he forget that secrecy surrounds any notable person's visit to Iraq, or did he think Al-Qaeda was in Iran for the weekend and wouldn't be a problem?

Hmmmmmmmm, what will voters care more about??

This is very very very very serious. We should investigate.......


Seriously though, while I doubt it's just the biggest deal in the world, JM needs to just shut up sometimes. I doesn't help his image when he really does have a senior moment.

I agree... I'm sure this was nothing done on purpose. And since he did it, his staff has been going "homina homina homina we don't know EXACTLY when it's gonna happen homina homina homina it might be Sunday or Monday or a week from Friday homina"... but still. It's careless and it ugly, and it shows again how Baghdad is STILL not as safe as some would have us believe it is.

that was the whole point of the troop surge.....to make Iraq safer........which obama was against.........now that the troop surge is proven to be effective.......we may be able to start pulling some troops out.....Bush is working on it

You really are getting pitiful. At least try and get some substance, like I have.


It's such a big secret that Agence France-Press, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Yediot Achronot, and Der Spiegel has the agenda!




Eat up!

The only senior moment happening is from the OP.

o man i read that title totally differently.

Are you kidding? EVERYONE knows where he's going and when. His Press Secretary's----mainstream media anchors will be accompanying him. That's Brian Williams, Katie Courie, and Charlie Gibson. So will 40 other journalists. And NBC and CBS will undoubtedly be treating his trip as if he was already President. McCain has been on many trips to Iraq and not ONE tv anchor accompanied him. NAH------there's no bias here!!! <LOL>

I also heard that he has a team of foreign policy experts advising him and giving him possible questions that he might be asked over there with the prepared answers provided. But you can bet, it will be tightly controlled as far as any questioning. Seeing as how the man is such a lightweight.

For instance, I doubt that this question will be allowed: "Obama, why is it you're coming to Iraq now to make an assessment when you've already said what you would do on Day One of your administration regarding Iraq? Is this simply a PR campaign or do you think what you find in Iraq might cause you to change your mind?"
