Saddam walked openly among Iraqi people, why didn't their "liberator"?

1. No kidding

The chimp NEVER leaves his security bubble. Here's a comment from a Yahoo article on what Senator Clinton did in Iraq:

'Unlike the US president, who never even left the main military camp at Baghdad airport during his two-and-a-half hour stopover, Clinton then left the heavily fortified complex around the palace to go and visit troops.

"At the moment, she is on a visit with a military division outside the security zone," said the spokeswoman.'

It is coming out now that the event was staged in Nevada.

More later.
