McCain's safe Iraqi neghborhood fantasy becomes ever more unlikely as the so called "safe zone" becomes ever more dangerous.

Insurgents have struck inside the Green Zone, which includes the U.S. Embassy, on six of the past seven days, once with deadly consequences. A U.S. soldier and a U.S. government contractor were killed Tuesday night by a rocket attack that also seriously wounded a civilian, military and embassy officials said. One soldier and at least three other civilians received minor injuries, U.S. Embassy spokesman Lou Fintor said.

Wednesday morning, embassy personnel received a bulletin citing the "recent increase of indirect fire attacks on the embassy compound." It included strict instructions: Body armor and helmets would now be required for all "outdoor activities" within the sprawling embassy complex, even short walks to the cafeteria. There would be no group gatherings outside, including at the famed Palace Pool. No "nonessential" visitors would be allowed in the compound.

A U.S. official in Baghdad characterized embassy personnel as "anxious and alert."

Okay so if the safest spot in Iraq for westerners is now becoming increasingly dangerous where could these "safe neighborhoods" that John McCain speak of be located? I mean are the bad guys just standing around outside of the green zone and a few miles away they simply love Americans? Because that would be awesome!

John McCain is an idiot. I cannot imagine how anybody could support his bid for President after those remarks.
