In recent days, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has been telling us how safe it is now in Baghdad. Nice place for a stroll.
But freelance reporter Jane Stillwater decided to check it out for herself. And she found a very different kind of Baghdad, along with a general consensus amongst American reporters that "walking around in Baghdad without troops backing you up was suicidal and anyone who did something like that had a death wish."
And she confronted McCain. Brilliantly and poetically.

McCain's misplaced optimism will not win the war. Indeed, very few Americans now believe that the U.S. can "win" in Iraq. Heck, even Henry Kissinger has stated that a military victory in Iraq is impossible.
People are dying there every day. But apparently that's not what matters to George W. Bush. Or to John McCain.
