It is very hard for my not to be cynical about the surprise visit of the President to Iraq. It has been quite a while since he was there, and it seems as though this administration was way too anxious to seize on the first bit of positive news out of Iraq and attach itself to it like a "Mission Accomplished" banner to to returning warship.
If you didn't read about the President's trip, you can click here: Bush Makes a Surprise Visit to Baghdad. Also, Congress is discussing Iraq and appropriating more money for the mission there which you can read about here: House to Re-Open Debate on Iraq War.
In the meanwhile, two of the more respected members of the U.S. Senate, Democrat Russ Feingold and Republican John McCain made their own, and in my opinion, more substantive visit to Iraq this week.
In the meanwhile, I sigh and wait for this long national mistake to come to a conclusion....and our men and women can come home.
