Will Obama only make "secret" visits to Iraq?

[Poiuyt]

It seems like such a cowardly thing to do - beneath the President of the United States. But maybe that's the only way it can be done. Should Obama go to Iraq like a man, or is going under the cloak of secrecy the only way for a government official to safely visit?

1. Um, I would hope so...

I hope his visits to Saudi Arabia and Packistan are secret as well....probably more important than Iraq.

2. I believe that's done for safety reasons. NT

4. What does "go to Iraq like a man" mean? I thought he WAS a man, no matter what he did.

Maybe I am wrong though.

5. You must not be familiar with presidential security

Every trip they take is to some degree in secret, even domestically.

It is the nature of the office, not the man holding it.

Obama likely will need even more messures to protect him.
