Obama said today on the campaign would be making an announcement as to when, but he said he he wanted to visit both Iraq and Afghanistan before the election in November.

"I told him that I look forward to seeing him in Baghdad," Obama said of his conversation with Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari. "You know, we'll make an announcement about that , but as I said, I'm interested in visiting Iraq and Afghanistan before the election."

4. It may be spun as a McCain guilt trip by some

Too bad this was not planned ahead of the McCain challenge.

What exactly is the pressing need to go there anyway?

5. He shouldn't announce when he's going to go.

Seriously. I have safety concerns with this. I think his visit should be unannounced. Just let a few media outlets know last minute if they want to cover the trip.
