Good that he went to the heart of where the incident happened to those Iraqie prisoners at the prison there.He did a pep rally like a town meeting to boost the moral of the US troops.

Yes after all this talk about the abuse of prisoners over there it was about time that a high US official go to talk to them and give a boost to the troops.

lol rainstorm sometimes i don't know what side you're on. But yes it seems as if he only came there because of the controversy at Abu Ghraib prison. I really don't think he would have come otherwise. The troops really need a morale boost as John said earlier.

I think the one visit Bush made to Iraq was enough. It would be just plain stupid if he showed his face there again.

Actually, another surprise visit by GW would "bring down the house" with OUR TROOPS...and send a big "middle finger" to Al Qaida, Al Aqsa, Al Capone, and any other "Al's" in the region.

Besides, our President has shown brass cojones before...indeed, all through this war...and I would NOT be surprised at all if he did go back for another visit.

Let's see John Forbes Kerry show some of that...I have yet to see it.

I'm not sure Kerry would even live through a visit with the troops after the way he has been!!!
