A Better Question for McCain on Baghdad

Ms. Cox below might ask Senator McCain two questions:

1. What percentage of the secure neighborhoods in Baghdad are controlled by Muqtada al-Sadr? (Answer: an awful lot of them, including the neighborhood where McCain took his famous market walk last Spring.)

2. Is Muqtadr al-Sadr our friend or our enemy?

Just asking.
