Elections in Iraq are scheduled for Jan. 30. During the US presidential campaign, Kerry warned that the Iraqi elections would be hampered if the security situation in the country did not improve.

So what does he do? Goes to Iraq during the election month and adds to the already tenuous security situation. Bet the Troops will just love this.
