McCain said he would feel perfectly comfortable strolling around Baghdad without any armed escort. Of course, he finally took the advice of the Sr. Officer and took an escort "just because". http://www.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=4444546

And he was pretty much greeted with laughter at such comments.

And then predictably he claimed that he never said it, or "didn't mean it that way".
And if you look at the expression on the faces of the troops, they don't look like they believe it's safe either.

But he thinks that mostly things are better.
Somehow, I'm not really convinced. Something about the saying one thing, denying it, seeing proof via a photograph, and then getting those types of reports.
If it is frustrating for those of us here to hear lies like that, how are our troops feeling? That's what is important.
