More Republican PR. 8 days and nothing new reported. What a surprise!

PS: CBS, remove the collapsible ads. They are just plain annoying.

A PR stunt pure and simple. he speaks so movingly of someone killed outside the green zone so why wasn't he with the soldiers? no he spent his time safely in the emerald City... why not out on patrol if it is so safe? under the heading I am not a real soldier but just like My President I can dress up and pretend.

Lindsey Graham was one of the ringleaders in the Clinton impeachment.

Now, that's true heartwarming Christian values.

Impeach a man over a stained dress and let the man who ravaged an entire nation go free!

Ya know, he seems so sincere in his interviews. It's too bad that a good guy, through the manipulations of another, is left with his azz in the air. I hope he realizes what George and his spin machine is doing to him.

If it was so secret, why diclose it now?

And instead of eight days, why not serve 15 months like the real troops? Then maybe Graham would appreciate the real sacrifice of these troops, all for a cockameny war of greed and arrogance.

Nothing more that a PR stunt, done in true neo-con style!

didn't know Graham was this phony. If he really wanted to see what was going on in Iraq as a soldier, instead of being a commissioned officer sent into an insulated situation in the Green Zone, he would have been on patrol with the men--I am not impressed by what Graham did and it did not let him really see what is going on with the real military--the "boots on the ground" Let him go incognito, be among the soldiers, be in harm's way-see the bodies getting ripped up and occassionally seeing a colleague die--NOT hearing about it later while safe inside the base. I don't know which is worse--Graham buying several rugs for 20 dollars in a country we fvcked up or seeing this same man (who used to be respected) play soldier to garner more PR moments for an illegal and immoral war.
