God Bless John McCain. I hope he stays safe and kicks some rear verbally.
Unannounced? Oh my; what if they can’t find a motel room.
BAGHDAD - Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president, arrived in Baghdad on Sunday for an surprise visit with Iraqi and American diplomatic and military leaders, a U.S. official said.
A defiant supporter of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and President Bush's troop increase last year, McCain has touted last year's drop in sectarian violence as a turning point in five-year war.
The details of his visit were not being released for security reasons. The trip was not announced, and he was believed to have been in the country for several hours before reporters were able to confirm his presence.
"Senator McCain is in Iraq and will be meeting with Iraqi and U.S. officials," said Mirembe Nantongo, spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
The Arizona senator was expected to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq.
"We were informed that John McCain landed in Iraq Sunday morning. A meeting..... CUT OFF....

Q: Isn’t Mexico responsible for providing jobs for its own people? Why are Americans burdened with providing jobs for Mexicans who don’t have them?
A: That’s a good question! It should not be a burden the American people have to bear. I’ll never forget a conversation I had two years ago in Mexico with Juan Hernandez, who headed up the newly created Ministry of Mexicans Living in the United States.
Hernandez is a very interesting fellow, a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico, and a good friend of presidents Bush and [Vicente] Fox [of Mexico]. I asked about the purpose of the government agency he heads, since I had never heard of such a thing.
He said its purpose is to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the United States. I asked, “Why?”
“It serves Mexico’s needs,” he said, and ticked off a list of such things as remittances to Mexico of $10 billion a year, which is 30 percent of the Mexican GDP [gross domestic product]. It provides employment for an exploding population, it alleviates social instability due to rising unemployment and it provides training for Mexicans, ultimately repatriating those skills back to Mexico.
I responded to his final aim - repatriation of trained and skilled Mexicans back into Mexico - and asked, “Then your government would oppose amnesty for the illegal Mexicans in the United States?”
He cried, “Oh no! We support amnesty totally.”
I replied, “I don’t understand.” I assured him that if amnesty were in effect in the United States, then Mexicans would never return. He then said something riveting: “By populating the United States with millions of Hispanics who are tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on U.S. policy and its dealings with Mexico.”
He has been, is and sadly will remain WRONG on many issues, BUT we can fix some if not all of them.
Nevertheless, the man understands the nature of our enemy and knows that we are in an ongoing fight for our lives. He will not let us down. His own son is actually fighting as a Marine. It is time all who attacked him for so many good reasons acknowledged that he will be the president and we need to support him to give him the McGovern/Mondale type of landslide he is capable of getting.
when the US public is asked who they prefer as Commander in Chief....will it be the piaps ~ b. HUSSEIN or john mccain???
mccain ain’t the first choice of many conservatives....but most Americans will sleep better & more secure with him in the White House rather than the other two a-holes!!!!
maybe the msm should poll the troops!!!!
Unannounced?
I knew about it days ago.
Suprised that PravdABDNC aren’t broadcasting his GPS Coordinates and Aircraft Tail Numbers??
