No man it's cojones, I can't make the connection why you think flying into
Iraq means he has big cojones. Big cojones would have meant announcing to
the
world that you were spending Thanksgiving with the troops in Iraq. Flying in
for 2 hours, unannounced, is not an act of bravery. It's really just a
political stunt. Apparently it's working.


Announcing the visit would have almost certainly drawn an attack either by
terrorists or by mortars or rockets, more likely killing others there to
celebrate than Bush himself. Endangering others to show off would not have been
brave, it would have been reckless and stupid.


Going there at all put those soldiers in danger, it was mostly a stunt.
And a vivd reminder (Bush stayed for 2-3 hrs.) how dangerous a place it
really is now.


My point was really that he doesn't have bog cojones.
