But, nobody in their right mind would have been that casual about the President's security before (or at the time of) his visit to Iraq.
Me either, but a moment's look at his Posts-in-Forum page make it exceedingly clear that he's US military stationed in Iraq. Wouldn't have been hard to add 2+2.
On security side, No problem, to fast for a reaction, unless the Iraqi's are monitoring FR full time.
"The Iraqis", as in the enemy on-site in Iraq still supporting Saddam, probably aren't reading FR, true. But all it would have taken was a single fifth columnist type (many of whom are absolutely obsessed with FR), who would then only have had to made one or two phone calls. Since it was posted as Breaking News, any theoretical symps wouldn't even have had to have been paying that much attention. Would they have had enough time to react in any event? Probably not, but as we've already learned, even the White House itself was worried enough not to take even the slightest risk.
No harm no foul in the end, of course, nor do I believe Kujo had any intention of putting Bush at risk.
