Bring your body armor. Bring some for the troops, too.
WASHINGTON (AP) Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and three other governors will travel to the Middle East over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit with troops and meet with senior military and political leaders, Pentagon and State Department officials said Tuesday.
Specifics of the trip, including whether or not they will go to Iraq, were not being released for security reasons.
Of course they are going into Iraq. Don't be silly.
"For Gov. Granholm, this trip is all about visiting our Michigan men and women serving in the Middle East and provides her with an opportunity to talk to them," Granholm spokeswoman Liz Boyd said. "Being away from home is always difficult, particularly during the holidays. The governor is hoping her visit will bring Michigan a little closer to them this Thanksgiving."
Is she going to bring them some snow?
The four governors include Democrats Granholm and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas and Republicans Haley Barbour of Mississippi and Sonny Perdue of Georgia. They were meeting Tuesday with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
I'm not sure what's worse- getting on a plane with Haley Barbour, or trying to have a conversation with Donald Rumsfeld.
Have fun, Jennifer.
