Obama going to Iraq & Afghanistan!

[medeak]

as per msnbc..Obama saying Afghanistan is deteriating and needs our attention.. TAKE THAT MCCAIN! press saying he is out soldiering McCain and photo ops will make him look presidential and troops happier to see Obama than McCain and "let's visit Iraq" remark by McCain is backfiring..

1. I'm so glad he didn't "tag along" with McCain.

And I hope he and our troops stay safe. :scared:

2. have friend in Afghanistan who is suffering

Brian Williams posted on his blog last week the troops there had "duct tape and baling wire" compared to Iraq troops... bet Obama will make enormous point how McCain and Bush are distorted on Iraq.

3. Yes, Obama has been decrying the travesty in Afghanistan for some time.

I have a feeling the troops will be very glad to see him there.

For God's sake, we need to end these wars.
