A McCain adviser said the Arizona Senator would be part of a small Congressional delegation. No details of the visit are being disclosed for security reasons.

This would be his seventh trip to Iraq. He last visited troops over the 4th of July holiday.

2. Going to the market again? It's safe, isn't it? (From article,

"No details of the visit are being disclosed for security reasons.")

10. of course he has to go to market

where else would he get a plastic turkey?

3. Whose vote is he pandering to? Probably not the troops, they know what

a mess we're in. Is McCain any longer relevant?

4. wonder if Bush will tag along? or visa versa?

5. That's not the turkey the troops would like to see

And not the place they'd rather be, when the turkey is served.

Bring the troops home now.

9. Of blood....n/t

7. Why doesn't he just stay there? Save a lot of money flying him back and forth, protecting him, etc.

8. He will

probably slip out of his full body armor inside the green zone and walk to the nearest market to buy some sour grapes, return home and declare victory for the American empire!:sarcasm:

11. John Mc Cain

has truly lost it. He's gone too far this time.

Did anyone see the photos of him on his last trip to Iraq. It was beyond belief. He was walking with a very heavy flak jacket, surrounded by troops. I think he was escorted by a very pissed off general.

And McCain went there to "prove" how "safe" it is in Iraq.

12. Good idea: they probably need more turkeys there.
