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?

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.

But again, once the President landed in Baghdad, it became knowledge he was there. I am sorry everyone here keeps missing that point.
