Improving moral was just a small part.
Dude, GW could have stayed at his ranch in Texas, and no one would have said
a thing. Flying into Iraq took big balls (however you spell it in
Spanish!), no matter how you cut it.
Now you know full well that if he had gone to Texas we'd all heard it
from the pilots down tere. :-)
The risk to Bush was small, the risk to those defending the airspace
and ground was definitely increased.
Election year stunt. I doubt he thought of it. Most likely it was Rice
since she went too. Rice: "I know, go to Iraq instead of Texas"
Bush: "Fine but you're going too."
And I really don't think he gives a rat's ass about what ANYONE thinks about
his motives for going there -- which is one reason I happen to like the guy.
I may not agree with his politics, but it really is quite refreshing to have
a President who is more than just a poll-taker.
He only gives a "rat's ass" when it's time for an election.
I don't like the guy, I'll spare you the reasons why.
