We're just like real spies
When I heard that the POTUS made a surprise visit (the length of n airport layover, nonetheless!) to troops in Iraq on Thanksgiving, I felt the love. No, wait, it made me wish I were in Baghdad pumping lead (or whatever material they use in bullets nowadays) into Iraqi guerillas so that I could feel personally thanked by the POTUS for risking my neck on a daily basis. I mean, no one made a special point of being thankful for Verbal Jazz this holiday weekend.
Verbal Jazz finds the whole secret mission aspect of the POTUS' visit to Iraq somewhat amusing. I have long maintained that the POTUS and his cabal of Neocon advisors are just overgrown children playing spy games, bandying about phrases such as "intelligence" and "security" in an attempt to inflate their own importance and the gravitas of their special knowledge. Essentially, the POTUS top secret mission amounted to: "Here's your turkey, gotta go, if you get shot in the ass, my advisors will truth filter the news from me." Fair or not, Verbal Jazz can picture the POTUS giddy with glee on his little top-secret flight. I wonder if the flight attendants gave him a special decoder ring.
