Presidential wannabe Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz recently went to Iraq. The Iraqis didn’t want him there and they had good reasons for it. Jaafar Moussa Thamir, a 42-year-old who sells electrical appliances at the Shorja market that the Republican congressmen visited on Sunday, said the delegation greeted some fellow vendors with Arabic phrases but he was not impressed. “They were just making fun of us and paid this visit just for their own interests,” he said. “Do they think that when they come and speak few Arabic words in a very bad manner it will make us love them? This country and its society have been destroyed because of them and I hope that they realized that during this visit.”
McCain also said to reporters that his “visit to the market today was proof that you could indeed ‘walk freely’ in some areas of Baghdad.”
Hummmm doesn’t appear that way! Walking freely is something you can do in Paris, London and Madrid. McCain is so far from the truth he can’t even see it.
