The governors of Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, Vermont and Massachusetts are now in Iraq. No, they are not fighting the enemy. They are boosting the morale of the National Guard troops from their states, or so the governors believe. Is there the slightest chance that these politicians think that a visit to Iraq could boost their chances of being re-elected? Four of the governors are running for re-election, the governor of Minnesota has presidential ambitions.
I think it's shameful and cynical for these supposed leaders to use the troops in what I hope is a vain attempt to retain their offices. Plus, it's costing us a lot of money to fly these patriots there and then escort them around the country.
