BAGHDAD (AP) — U.S. Embassy official says Sen. Barack Obama has arrived in Baghdad



That's it, so far. (With just one sentence, the AP can't show its bias.)

9. He may be in more danger in the US.
He's got some pretty serious enemies right here, sadly.

I hate to say it, but he's not safe anywhere.

If we pray, we must pray wherever he is.

:patriot:

3. It's breaking news on cnn's and msnbc's websites, too -
This is NEWS -- and it's exciting! I don't recall such coverage when McCain went.

7. I'm glad he's taking this trip, but it still makes me nervous.
I think I'm actually more worried about the time he'll spend in Israel and the Palestinian territories than Iraq. I'm sure the areas he'll go in Iraq will be in complete lockdown, but I don't know about those in Israel and the West Bank.
