#2 And Governor Ehrlich. I think he should take Fred along to interpret. They could have lunch with Verlaine.

#5 Question: Who's paying for this? I hope these governors are doing this on their own time and their own dime.

#7 BAM, I would guess it's the DOD or State footing the bill. I don't care who is paying this is still a good idea. Seafarious, Arnold did visit in 2003 and brought T3 with him for screening. Sure he wasn't the Gov (yet) then but he has gone. Also we can't have Arnold leave the state or Cruz "control" Bustamove will think he Gov and start making dumb decisions.

#8 I don't care who is paying this is still a good idea.

I'm not convinced there's a tangible benefit to this. American involvement in Iraq is mostly a matter for the top levels of the US government, and governors' powers/authority is confined to the state level. I can see a need for congressional personnel to be briefed/updated, but any push-back generated by involving state governors doesn't seem likely to be of much help or use.
