The threat to President Bush is in Iraq. Do you really think that CK's announcement here on FR would have made the terrorists any more aware of where Bush was than the actual troop activities in Iraq?

Get a grip, people.

Again, your kind of casual attitude toward the President's security would be considered insane by those entrusted with the job of protecting him. It betrays a significant amount of ignorance.

Get a grip.

Actually, I do. Who knows what operations are possible within the war zone. I can't believe that you cannot recognize the risk. Pun intended.

I had been done with this topic for six hours, but since you felt the need to pull me back in: WOULD have? Probably not. COULD have? Absolutely. The old phrase "Loose lips sink ships" was created by the armed forces way back when for a reason. All it would have taken was one symp with the right connections, just one.

I'm taking the word of the White House over yours, sorry. They kept this a secret and flew into Baghdad under cover of darkness for a reason. As I have said SEVERAL TIMES already, no harm no foul in the end, but neither am I going to sit here and deny the obvious fact that some tiny amount of risk was accrued due to the original post made while Bush was still on the ground in Baghdad.
