#1 The Iraq war is a done deal. All this is political posturing.

#2 Unfortunately the Dems stil think they can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for the United States.

(To them it would be snatching victory from the jaws of defeat if AlQ were to have a resurgence....)

#3 Naive children should probably not go to Iraq to posture. And if they do go, they should carefully follow all the advice and instructions of their military security escorts and not run around playing 'look at me.' AQ is gravely wounded but not dead, and would like nothing better than to embarrass the US military by killing a foolish senator or two.

The military could always say "We tried. Don't we get credit for effort?"

#5 The worst move they could make is killing a senator. They would be killing their biggest supporters.

#6 Glenmore I think that since these dopes are so enamoured of the Euros and the UN they should follow the UN security model while in Iraq.

You know, the one that tells the US Army to piss off.

#7 It is just me, or are there others out there TOTALLY tired of Hagel?

#9 That will really lend gravitas to Hussein's visit. Is Weaslly Clark going ? Of course not, the Army would cut off his treacherous nuts if he showed up. IED ? IRAM ? Never know, there's accidents waiting round every corner.

#11 Where will they get a vehicle large enough for Hagel and his ego?

#12 One A380, coming right up.

#13 How about they just ignore his visit. Don't meet him at the airport. Require ID he doesn't have when he wants to get in the base.

It's not like he'll treat the military any worse if they blow him off. And if he tries maybe whisper in his ear that the Army has all the guns. That might open his eyes a little.
