“Regardless of his motives. If his presence in the area gives any portion of our forces there ANY encouragement or confidence, I support it.”

How many men and women in the military do not know what an ass this Communist is..All this will do is put their lives in danger..Oh maybe not he might give them a rest from all the fighting since his Muslim brothers will not want to shoot the moron since he is such a supporter of their terrorist acts...

I do not want to be rude but I just had to say what I was thinkings..

I can only relate my experience to you. In 1968 when I was in basic training, I got a pass off base and got to see President Johnson in San Antonio speaking in a large open gathering. I didn't know him from Adam at the time, but was still encouraged to see him - even though I now realize he was a total bastard. Even if there is a very small percentage of soldiers there that will get a charge out of him being there, then no, I don't disapprove.

I know this man is a socialist and probably hates this country, categorically 180 degrees out from when Bush went to Baghdad, but there are soldiers - soldiers fighting for their country there who do support him. We owe them some measure of consideration, even if they don't fully realize their misplaced loyalties.
