So AWOL George made a quick visit to Baghdad. I wonder how many
thousands of troops were assigned to guard the airport, the green zone and every inch in between.

Golly, when I see our "heroic" president doing something this "brave", I get an uncontrollable urge to display an American flag pin on my lapel.

I wonder if he was presented with that framed, blown up poster of Zarqawi to hang on the wall of the Oval Office?

I mean, it's not possible that this had something to do with poll numbers and demonstrating the "courage" of our "fearless leader", is it?

1. 70,000 (mostly Iraqi) troops were brought into Baghdad this morning
There's an article in LBN about it.

6. Wonder how long they'll stay once Boy George is gone?

The new uniforms explains a lot, too.

Only new uniforms for those near the Propagandist.



Hmmm...and here I thought Baghdad and Iraq were just swimming with good news and safety and rejuvenation.

2. Not a poster
The head itself.

3. The Decider is the Grandstander. Kind of a naked public relations
gesture, but I suppose a lot of dipshits in the red column will cheer it on.

It gives FOX something shiney to squeal over and pick up in the alley.

5. I'd say about a 2 billion dollar trip all told.
