Political trips to Iraq are just theater, using our service members as ‘extras’
Senator Obama does not have to visit Iraq to understand that the war was an ill conceived war. If he wants to find out how well the surge is working or not working a visit there will not serve that purpose in as much as the Generals on the ground will show what they want him to see!
If he should go to Iraq, it should not be a political trip, as was McCain’s trip earlier this Spring. Everyone knows that McCain’s trip was propaganda to be used just as he is using it now before the general election. McCain, Lieberman’s puppet, did not know the difference between Sunni and Shite — until the puppeteer ‘pulled his strings’. If his visit was so ‘telling’ one would assume he would at least know that much!
Stop the politicking with the lives of our brave young men and women and get serious about issues.

Excuse me, did an Obama supporter just demand to ’stop politicking…and get serious about issues”?
This clown’s followers redefine ‘asinine’ on an almost daily basis.
