McCain KNOWS that it's a No-NO to let travel plans for US government officials visiting Iraq to be "leaked" out.
He's been to Iraq before and knows these protocols!
Even for run-of-the-mill CODELs the military gives guidance like, "Please strongly discourage Congressional offices from issuing press releases prior
to their trips which mention their intent to travel to the AOR and/or the dates of that travel or their scheduled meetings. Such releases are a
serious compromise to OPSEC." If Obama is going to Iraq this weekend, I can not begin to imagine how much this is complicating the security
planning for the trip."
Sheer stupidity on the part of McCain is all I've got to say!
Of course it's stupidity with a side of malicious intent.
Most of MSM knew that Obama was leaving this week, but not texactly when!
... there is a reason definite information about these sorts of trips aren't released in advance.
Hypothetically, maybe McCain was just guessing. But even so it would still be a serious lapse of judgment on his part.
I'm sorry, but after seeing the anger in this man, I can't help but think his "little slip" was with a malicious intent.
And as for his lapse of judgement, we've all heard "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" before. He has lapses in judgment almost everyday it seems!
Just what this country needs, a man to lead it with a "lapse of judgment" problem!
