Bush* went to Baghdad because:

[trof]

[TexasMexican]

1. Hillary

What did she do?

[trof]

7. She's in Afghanistan

seeing the troops and arrives in Iraq tomorrow.
He had to one-up her.

[TexasMexican]

19. I didnt know that...

till just a while ago when it came out on the local news.

Seems like Bush's trip did the trick, all the cable news seems to be ignoring Hillary's trip.

[Military Brat]

2. 2 popular games in Washington, D.C.

Rove plays "Simple Simon," and bush obeys
Hillary plays "Follow the Leader," and bush follows

I'm sure my fellow DU'ers can think of many more.

[Hieronymus]

3. Because of Hillary

Shrub couldn't let her upstage him. She's recieved such praise, except from the cons. I wonder if they'll continue to criticize HER trip?
He was only at the airport and that was only for two hours. LOL:dunce:

[joeybee12]

4. Yeah, it's so obvious just to show up Hilary--of course the scum in the

media are clueless about this.

[TheWebHead]

5. because he wanted to..

make me lose my Thanksgiving appetite :(

[xchrom]

6. the coward in chief

couldn't stand to let a real human being stand him up.
hillary in afghanistan -- bush in iraq{for 2 hours}.
no way did rove plan this before hillary planned hers.
he's a pig and like a pig the next election will render his bacon to grease.

[Terwilliger]

8. I think its all about Hillary

why fly to Iraq for a photo-op? He was hard pressed to appear in public with troops before...why the sudden change?

The sudden change was that Hillary (if she decided to jump into the Dem race) would have a feather under her cap that Bush couldn't challenge, so Rove told him to go to Baghdad.

[DieboldMustDie]

9. Are you sure it was him?

Maybe he's using body doubles, just like Saddam Hussein :evilgrin:

[0007]

18. I've thought of that one, and it could be possible...

[Noordam]

10. A REAL CIC would have not only did Iraq but

Kuwait and Afgan.... Could have done all three in three days.

[Scott Lee]

11. Because that crotch-thirsty turkey (DU frontpage) chased him there.

Check out the look on pResident AWOL'S face.

[oasis]

12. If Hillary sacrifices her holiday then the Chimp had better keep pace.

[havocmom]

14. The quote about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair with a slight twist

Ginger did everything Fred did and she did it backwards while in high heels.

The difference between Hillary and Ginger is that Hillary gets to lead!

[JPace]

13. Karl Rove told him too.....

its just that simple.

[havocmom]

16. yep, KKKarl will just keep tossing taxpayer $$ down ratholes

until he can manage a photo op to use for the campagne. Some nasty liberals keep exposing the hyprocacy of them all. Meanwhile, we will just keep pointing out that the emperor has no clothes, brains, ethics, humanity, humility, manners, clues, {huff, puff... hey, somebody take over for me. I'm getting on in years and don't have time to keep listing the asshole's shortcomings...}

[CSI Willows]

15. Photo Op. + Hillary =

Bush publicity stunt

[shirlden]

17. Can't have the school marm

showing up the cowboy. She put a huge question mark on his crotch.
Now, we know who scares Rove.......it's our Hill.

You Go Girl
