Thought for the day: how come when you GOOGLE "surprise visit", you get U.S. officials visiting Afghanistan & Iraq? And that's without even putting Afghanistan & Iraq in the GOOGLE search!

If Afghanistan & Iraq were safe, we wouldn't have "surprise visits", we'd have scheduled visits announced ahead of time. We never pay Germany a "surprise visit" or any other stable countries. When was the last time we paid Canada a "surprise visit"? It's almost like: "UNEMPLOYMENT UNEXPECTEDLY" rose.........
