John McCain: you now have 2 weeks vacation, why not go to Iraq??

[LSK]

Why dont you use your vacation time and go to Iraq and show us how safe it is.

Please, we'd love to see footage of you walking safely on the streets of Baghdad at noon.

Show us this great progress we have been making.

Come on straight talk express, put your money where your mouth is.

1. Indeed.

[NightWatcher]

2. send the unarmored bullshit express over to Baghdad

3. Heard a couple of days ago that he's heading over there

for a few days. The snoozehoney didn't say whether his good buddy Joe Lieberman was tagging along or not, but I'd bet he has his brown leather bomber jacket packed!

[LSK]

5. I wonder if he will try to pull off a scam on folks

Remember when that Congressman took pics of a street scene in Turkey and tried to pretend it was in Baghdad?

[sabra]

7. but but that was just an honest mistake by one of his staffers...

:sarcasm:

[Ino]

4. I'm still waiting for him to "kill himself"

He's just full of empty promises!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

6. yeah.

the press should throw that one at him on a weekly basis.

ah well, they're as memory/ethically-challenged as he is.

8. That's a great idea. Show the media they're wrong about Iraq.

He could take a nice stroll through a Sadr City market, sit down in a street cafe and order some felafel and then go to a Sunni mosque and say a few prayers for peace.

Since things are so great over there they wouldn't need to bother the troops wouldn't about providing extra security. Security details would just get in the way of his meeting all those happy Iraqis.

9. Ha, in the same vein this morning they tried to get Imus to go over to visit Iraq

Since Imus and Lieberman are close buddies, Imus may somewhat believe the Americans can walk Iraqi streets unarmored spiel Lieberman keeps spewing.

Imus wasn't buying the Iraqi visit. He was afraid he'd catch a disease or something.
