McCain Strolls Through Baghdad Market
McCain being a Republican of his word today, took a stroll through a Baghdad Market to reinforce the Republican talking point that Iraq is a land of peace and tranquility. The right wing media of course jumped up to scream that the Republicans were right and that victory in Iraq is just moments away for us. But the devil is in the details as always when you are dealing with people as dishonest as the Republican party. McCain little stroll wasn't alone. He actually tied up 100 American soldiers to provide security, 3 Blackhawk Helicopters and 2 Apache Gunships. I know when I take a stroll around any American city that's usually my normal compliment???? What adds insult to injury is that McCain then went straight to a press conference to claim that the media was just fabricating that things were bad in Iraq. There is no lie too big for the GOP to fabricate folks. They will keep telling a lie even when you catch them red handed doing just that.

I actually pulled aerial security on a Toby Keith concert while I was in Iraq. Would the Dixie Chicks rec'd the same protection? Hmmmm.

It doesn't matter who goes over there they all get the same protection. That's the way it works.
