Perry Visits Iraq ... Again

Perry and three other governors visited Iraq over the weekend following an invitation from the Defense Department. http://www.star-telegram.com/state_news/story/1494826.html. On Saturday night, Perry dined with members of the Texas National Guard by flashlight, and he jokingly described it as "a romantic setting."

This visit, Perry's second to Iraq this year, leads one to wonder ... Is Perry running for governor or president? One thing at a time Governor....

Interestingly, Perry was accompanied by another possible 2012 contender, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. The two-term Pawlenty recently ruled out running for a third term saying, "Being governor should not be a permanent position." http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/06/minnesota-gov-tim-pawlenty-wont-run-for-reelection-is-presidential-bid-in-the-wind.html. Do you think he discussed his views with Perry?
