Nixon said, ā€œI was out there were the bombs were falling,ā€ about his time in the Pacific during WWII. But he was not there WHEN the bombs were falling. In the same way, tRump will be there in Iraq, and totally isolated.

But heā€™ll embarrass us, never fear.

Iā€™m sure in a few days weā€™ll hear how Trump suggested some sort of battlefield tactic that led to an unexpected victory over a marauding band of ISIS terrorists.

Oh, and Iraq needs a wall.

I hate to be cynical, but can someone check if Oligarch-1 flew to or near Syria around the same time?

Well isnā€™t this a surprise, his first visit to Americans serving their country on foreign soil. Did he tell them the story of his heroic battles with fashion models during the Vietnam War?

Someone in the administration must have finally understood how bad Trumpā€™s behavior towards the military has been in the past two months and insisted that he take this trip. Iā€™m wondering if the military people are finally getting a clue to how the Republicans really think about them, or if they will continue to be fooled and fall in line behind the ā€œpatrioticā€ Republicans. Recent polling says that they are souring on Trump, but they need to sour on the entire party that uses them as pawns and political props instead of spending them wisely to defend the nation.

ā€˜thanksā€™ Wikileaks.

Is there any decent Golf course in Iraq? One that is not mined or booby trapped?

While he was sulking over Christmas he saw that he was getting trashed and that Mattis was soaring in the ratings. This was not a visit by choice but out of necessity. Sheā€™s only there as his protectorā€¦as always when he is afraid of getting a bad reception.

No, but people are saying he was telling bone spur jokes to justify why he missed service. /s
