So why would any reasonable person even think another Republican John McBush would do anything different. Matter of fact his positions are 95% in line with Bush.

I can understand the right-wingers apparent anger towards Barack. After all, he is eating their proverbial lunches, both politically and personally. People (even in Texas) are tired of Bush and Company. Barack will bring much needed blood, policy and integrity to the White House. I haven't had this much fun since Ann Richards was elected governor of Texas!

So he's not helping anyone (apart from his campaign) if he goes there and resources have to be diverted to guarantee his security, etc.). I presume he can get trustworthy information from plenty of people on-site. Why the rush?? Point 2 - Americans want to get out of Iraq and not to get a presidential candidate and a whole bunch of FBI agents in just to parade around. I'd suggest, if necessary, a quick in and out, unannouced in and out just to show the soldiers he cares (and he can best show he cares by bringing them home safe and guaranteeing them some compensation for services rendered). Point 3 - Obama can best help by securing good relationships and a sane peace with the rest of the world and that he seems prepared to do.
