Get ready for another McCain photo-op in Iraq

GOP presidential candidate John McCain will spend the 4th of July holiday with troops in Iraq:

The Arizona senator, who supports the war and President Bush's troopincrease strategy, plans to spend the July 4 holiday with U.S. troops.

McCain last was in Iraq in April and was criticized for saying he wascautiously optimistic of success even as he toured Baghdad under heavymilitary guard. In the months since, McCain has said the U.S. cannotafford to fail.

Just in case you forgot, here is a refresher about what was diverted for the Senator's sake during his April Baghdad market photo-op:

• 100 US soldiers
• 3 Black Hawk helicopters
• 2 Apache gunships
• 1 flack jacket

All so that McCain could tell Americans that they are misinformed about the war.
