Host, I was thinking much simpler than that. At a PR level or campaign level, I just think it would be nice for our boys over there to have a chance to see Obama in person over there. I think it would go a long way in showing Obama to a group that is not as exposed to him as say McCain or Cheney. I would guess that a significant (just a guess) of the men and women in service over there, either support Bush Administration, or at the very least, identify with or idolize a war hero like McCain. Obama's presence over there, along with his charisma and sincere speech would go a long way in my opinion in gaining new supporters.
Come to think of it, Hillary should go too. Wait, don't members of Congress tour Iraq and A'stan already?
