Perhaps our president initiated his trip to Iraq with purely altruistic intentions for our troops.
Not! This was a photo op, as someone mentioned, to counter the "mission accomplished" fiasco. Just wait for the pre-election photo montages, you'll be sure to see shots of both.
This president has a long way to go before he earns my respect. The way this war was promoted, by continually referring to Saddam Hessein as a terrorist and linking him (all evidence indicates falsely so far) to Al Quada, reprehensibly tapped into the national fear generated by the 9/11 tragedy to buy a slim majority of support for invasion. Do I need to mention the lack of WMDs found--our supposed legal basis for deposing a world leader? Shame on them--W and those guys with their hands in his back! At best, the motives for this war were misguided and uninformed, and blatant cronyism at worst.
