Yes, its good he sees for himself- its also a political move- the ultimate arrival of persona non grata.... I hope he gets a fine reception- one suitable for mr., Bush- Maybe he'll stay there and run THAT country.
God bless JR. and his agenda.

I'm speechless, really. I hope news doesnt get out of this OVER THERE.

Seriously, though, this is not a good move for his security- not that i care because i'm no hypocrite. But in a sense i care because he's human and i wouldnt want anthing to happen to him. If i sound like i'm contradicting myself, i am. And i am because i can.

Question:

Why do all presidents and vice-presidents and all important people always visit Iraq with a SURPRISE visit? Well it is pretty simple - the country is so dangerous, that an announced visit would be almost suicidal. And when the president can make such an announced visit to a country, which is "Liberated" and "Free" - well then this action would mean something. Until then, it is just another, out of many, SURPRISE visits.

He doesn't go and visit the troops... he goes and uses them. That is all they have ever been for him, a back drop.

He stays for a few minutes and leaves, they stay and bleed and die because he is too blind and bullheaded to read the writing on the wall and accept the fact that the war was lost a long time ago.

Quite interesting he has a surprise visit to Iraq on the day that British basically end its operations in Iraq and Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Britain will see out its UN Mandate. Which expires at the end of this year.

If bush minor really wanted to visit the troops he could have flown in like he did thanksgiving 2003, visited and left without using them as backdrop for yet another speech.

That is very true,

this was the reason that FOXNews gave.

Chicken George makes a surprise visit probably surrounded by fighter Jets, tanks and soldiers, which he likes to use as props, what a brave man!

Maybe he will even sneak out of the green zone!

His bravado is being paid by the american tax payer with money and the blood of their sons, daughters and spouses!

This describes almost every politician.

Over in KS the Governor (D) shows up to tornado hits and other disasters just long enough to get her picture taken and takes off.

It's just what scummy politicians do.

My concern is simply that Bush is out of the country. With all the rabble rabble about September, my own personal "threat level" goes up a notch whenever Bush is out of DC and especially out of the country. If there's going to be a strike, and Bush has foreknowledge of it, he certainly is not going to be around to witness it.

Note the "respect" bush minor has for the prime minister and the government of the sovereign nation of Iraq. He flies in at will without even so much as notifying them that he is visiting.

Talk about a loss of face. A real nice way to treat your puppets.

I wonder if he had to wear a diaper just in case the noises from the bombs falling make him do an involuntary boo-boo.

The only thing more sick than a leader not going to the place he's murdered thousands in, is to go just for a photo op.

That sniveling little ...

And to think I used to respect the republicans, I used to think of the right wing as bold, strong... they're just a bunch of weak children with inferiority complexes.

Both sides are impotent. It's high time a third wing was introduced. A group that will stand for the freedoms your country was founded on, and not destroy them while claiming they're doing it for freedom.

According to Bush's actions, freedom can be measured in the tonnage of the warhead coming through a family's ceiling.

"The only thing more sick than a leader not going to the place he's murdered thousands in, is to go just for a photo op.

Oh say it, that old bastard. It needs to be said. Give him some pretzels and forget the water.

I dont like mincing words- he's good for nothing.

The SOB just landed successfully and arrived at his hotel in Sydney with Condy in tow...What a shame


Where's a good ole fashioned accident when you need one ?
