As an Iraqi soldier describes life on the ground as pretty much sitting around and waiting to get blown up [1], Team Chimpy stages another ‘surprise’ visit with Maliki hoping to stick around in D.C. for a while (when D.C. is a safer place to be, then you know you have it bad).
John Stewart has some thoughts on the visit:
Also, AJ from AmericaBlog has a nice little analysis [3] on the groundbreaking, going-to-solve-all-our-problems troop movement to Baghdad while digby graces us with a rundown [4] on life in modern Iraq.
And for a TDS bonus, Stewart asks McCain, “How much safer can the world afford to have him make us? [5]â€Â
