Hill to Cheney: Go to Iraq - Cheney: Okay*

*apparently

December 17, 2005 -- WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton offered Vice President Dick Cheney a little unsolicited advice yesterday: go take a firsthand look at what's going on in Iraq.

Clinton's surprising suggestion came moments before a top-level war briefing at the White House, a source involved with the meeting told The Post.

Clinton, who has been to Iraq twice and has been sharply critical of the administration's handling of the war, told Cheney it would be a positive experience to see the troops and terrain for himself.

3. Every politician is restricted to the zone these days when they go there.

They always mention the short walk outside of the zone to get to the ministry building.

5. He was afraid of being pelted with flowers
Or maybe he was checking out Saddam's "spidey hole" as the next "undisclosed location".

7. How about a nice slow ride to the Baghdad airport in a convertible?
It's the best thing the Dick could do for America.

6. Hillary will be roundly criticized by the right wingers
because she obviously knew he was going and popped the question to embarrass him.

They will ask how she knew he was going and why she exposed him to possible security issue.

Trips to Iraq aren't planned in a couple of days.

Right wing MSM will jump all over this
