Kore7 says:

GOP candidate offers the top photo on his website as 'evidence' that all in Iraq is 'calm' and 'stable'. Too bad the photo was taken in Turkey. Bit of a difference...

i'm sure a guy like this is running for office because he just wants to serve the people.

"the people" being defined as "himself" of course.

Thanks kore, it's really tragicomic. As it is stated on the clip
source, it should be very clear for anyone to see that the photo was
not taken in Baghdad, just because of the Latin alphabeth used on
banners and billboards. And somebody running for the office (or his
"staff") have to know the difference between Turkey and Iraq, I guess.
