For over a week now, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and his right-wing allies have been criticizing Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) over the fact that he hasn’t visited Iraq since Jan. 2006. On Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last Friday, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney joined the attack, saying that he can’t believe that “a United States senator who is looking to be the nominee of his party” could “simply avoid going to Iraq.”
Hewitt tried to prod Romney into further criticizing Obama by asking him, “you’ve been to Iraq after the surge began, what do you learn from that kind of a trip?” But Hewitt got a surprise when Romney said he hadn’t visited Iraq as a presidential candidate:
HEWITT: Oh, I was under the impression you had made a trip to Iraq, governor. I’m sorry I got that wrong.
ROMNEY: No, I have…I have been to Iraq, but I’d like to go more frequently than I’ve been able to go. I’ve only been one time and I think, well, I don’t know what year that was. It was probably 2006.
HEWITT: Yeah, I think it was after the surge, I’m glad I wasn’t completely wrong about that.

Mitt got his Dad to make sure he didn't have to get in the Military during the draft. Yes Mitt was drafted like others of that time. But Mitt faked an illness and his Dad stepped in to save his coward son. Most of the men today doing the talking were coward and didn't serve in the Vietnam War. I guess it's easy to send others to die based on lies. Mitt has 5 sons who will never protect this country. When asked why Mitt said they are helping him become President that's their service to the country. Notice he's out of the race yet the 5 rich boys are safe at home and wouldn't protect this country even if a draft openend. Mitt would do the same thing for his sons that his Dad did for him. Yesterday the Military reported a 19 year old soldier died in the line of duty. Bush gave his parents a medal for his bravery, yes GW who sent these kids to die based on lies stood their and gave that medal. I'm just sick of it all.
