Nice job, John!
Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Friday that his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, is likely to be in Iraq over the weekend.The Obama campaign has tried to cloak the Illinois senator's trip in some measure of secrecy for security reasons. The White House, State Department and Pentagon do not announce senior officials' visits to Iraq in advance.
"I believe that either today or tomorrow -- and I'm not privy to his schedule -- Sen. Obama will be landing in Iraq with some other senators" who make up a congressional delegation, McCain told a campaign fund-raising luncheon.
As Josh Marshall says, "if Obama is going to be in Iraq this weekend, this is a major breach on McCain's part," at minimum "a serious lapse of judgment on his part." Of course, that wouldn't be the first or last time. Is there anything John McCain won't say or do to be president?
loose lips sink ships.
