Merchants at a Baghdad market have
objected to Sen. John McCain’s assertion that his recent visit was evidence of the U.S. troop surge working. Unlike the typical Iraqi shopper, the Republican congressional delegation that visited the Shorja market Sunday was protected by 100 U.S. soldiers, attack helicopters, body armor and, just to be safe, a contingent of snipers.

Two Pills
At lease the Iraq people know when their being used as Americans still put their heads in the sand. Now what was interesting is how Pelosi went shopping in Syria. Ask McCain to go back to Iraq without the vest and troops and just start walking and see how fast he gets that memory back. All Bush is interested in is that rubber stamp check so he wont be swimming with the fishes. Bush/Cheney have made promises and they have to pay up or else. As far as Support the Troops go just look at Walter Reed and the injured troops sent back to Iraq that says it all. This money has nothing to do with the troops and Bush is in a corner.
McCain is loosing more people on this one. There are too many intelligent people in this country to know that things are not going well in Iraq (war on terror?), McCain just lost more potential votes on this one, people don't want more denial. Guiliani is still out in front, that is just how bad the GOP candidates are.
