How much you wanna bet this trip got booked after Karl Rove found out Hillary was making her own trip to Iraq?

Well, let's see, there was a possible threat to the Pres and the first thing he should have done is get out of the crosshairs. To criticize him for that is ridiculous. I suppose you would have stood atop the White House, let a plane crash on you, and let the VP become Pres.
As far as him not going to ground zero immediately, that's also ridiculous. I'd prefer the Pres to be formulating strategies, getting an understanding of the scope of the threat, and implementing responses.
As far as the guard duty goes, that was how many years ago?
