Bush went over there in Thanksgiving 2005 and handed out turkey legs. He went through about 6 or 7 commanders "on the ground" in Iraq at CENTCOM and in the ambassador's chair before he found ones telling him things he wanted to hear.

Doug.... Doug .. Doug....

Obama is going on tour for exactly the same reason as McCain did. He's doing it for the photo ops.

Doug.... Doug .. Doug.... Doug ..

Obama is good BECAUSE he listens to other people!!

He listens to Chuck Hagel!

Wall Street Journal Article

Apparently in McCain universe, one cannot make informed decisions by reading reports and talking to knowledgeable people.

>>>Sen. John McCain heaped praise on Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Republican who opposes the Iraq war and who has said he would consider joining Democrat Barack Obama's ticket. While Hagel sees the war in Iraq much like Obama does, McCain said that Hagel's views were understandable because he has made an "informed decision" and Obama has not.<<<

Apparently Mr. McCain had to burn his fingers as a child to know that the stove was hot and he hasn't learned anything except through experience since then. That would explain his opinions on abortion and women's birth control at least.

McCain didn't learn anything on his trips to Iraq. He didn't even learn there was a difference between Al Qaeda and Shiite militants, even though Lieberman told him twice.
