Also, OBAMA > FINAL DEMOCRAT PARTY NOMINATION WILL BE DECIDED IN SIX DAYS.

#2 I hear Al-Qaeda in Iraq is being driven out. If he doesn't hurry he won't have any troops in Iraq to visit...

Or maybe he plans on visiting Dinnerjacket.

#3 I wonder if he's going to cherry pick who he talks to or cherry pick which comments he repeats.

#4 The work theyre doing there is too important."

"Important work" which he would have never begun and hopes to end as quickly as possible. The guy is just a piece of kak.

#5 Hopefully we get some good shots of the troops being "coerced" into being with him. The shots of them with Hillary and Kerry are freakin' hysterical.

#10 He will gain no additional voters from a trip to Iraq. Of the 300,000 or so troops, US State diplomatic community pogs, and contractors, he's got possibly 60,000 in his pocket. He and his handlers are well aware that he has little hope of winning over the remaining 240,000. I doubt he'll be going to Iraq anytime soon. If he does go, I hope General Petraeus finds a reason to be somewhere else.
