Perhaps the reason General Petraeus wanted him to have a huge armed guard was that he, as a "commander on the ground", knows it is still not safe to walk around Baghdad unprotected.

If he's not scared, tell him to trade that body armor for armour hot dogs, and the body guards for a body glove.

My what a joke. Sunday stroll thru Bagdad? What did they eat, CHICKEN?

"McCain: I Didn't Need Armed Guard In Iraq"
He needed a GUARD on his ARM....probably to help him walk or to keep him from falling down.

John, your presidential time has come and gone. Please give it a rest and live the remainder of your life with some dignity.

Used and abused I sit once again totally amazed at the actions of MY govment's leaders. I plead guilty to ignorance on just why they do what/when/where/and how?!?! I dearly love this country, The USA, but I fear that which I don't understand. I know in this case it's a healthy fear. Whom do I trust & who will do what we know to be right for US? Been too many deaths over $$
aw hell, better go take my medz.
Please LORD hep me...
The DOG for president!!!

If the McCain campaign comes to your town show up with a megaphone or just yell at the top of your lungs asking why he has all the armed secret service (SS) agents around him.... These cowards really think we're stupid.....

McCain - "I am returning to Iraq, and have invited our vice president to accompany me. He has ASSured me he will have his shotgun loaded for my security..."

You know, where I come from, we call that 'full blown crazy whack-a-doodle.'

What happened to the "Straight Talk Express?" I'd be careful if I was him. I think McCain's tongue migh burst into flames if he tells many more whoppers like that.
