John McCain and his delegation, After walking in a marketplace said the streets of Baghdad are safe for Americans.
Merchants in the area were incredulous,saying what are they talking about?.this was only for the media!,this will not change anything.
The security procedures were abnormal.The market was paralyzed by the visit.
The delegation arrived at the market with more than one hundred soldiers in armored humvees an entire company,and attack helicopters circled overhead.All traffic was redircted away from the area.Sharpshooters were on the roofs. All the delegation wore bullett proof vest,during there one hour visit.
At a news conference shortly after the visit the delegation described the market place as a safe bustling place full of warm Iraqis.
They said it was like a normal outdoor market in INDIANA in the summertime.Last Thursday sixty people were killed by a man with a bomb straped to his body.Recently several people have been killed in this market by daily shootings by snipers.Gunfights are a daily thing.
Sounds safe to me!-------------NOT
