John Thullen makes a funny about his trip to the market, in the comments at Obsidian Wings:

I arrived at high-speed in an armored humvee, screeching to a halt directly adjacent to the front door. My personal guards hustled me (helmeted, kevlared from neck to foot, gasmasked, grenaded, communications headset in place in case I had to communicate with home regarding the desirability of skim versus 2% milk, eyes sheilded by cool reflective sunglasses with night-vision capabilities) through the door and we proceeded to the dairy case, each aisle of the store secured as we went by Blackwater Special Forces personnel.

And sure, it's fun to make fun of delusional John McCain from my peaceful office park, here in the US; but it's not so funny over there, is it:

A newborn baby was one of at least 14 children and adults killed when a suicide bomber detonated a lorry laden with explosives close to a primary school in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk yesterday.

The latest massacre of Iraqi children came as 21 Shia market workers were ambushed, bound and shot dead north of the capital. The victims came from the Baghdad market visited the previous day by John McCain, the US presidential candidate, who said that an American security plan in the capital was starting to show signs of progress.
