1. So I guess the good news in Iraq...

is that the media can afford bullet proof vests?

These people are so hypocritical. "Get out and report the 'good' news in Iraq!"

[BR_Parkway]

6. Are there any actual troops waiting for these vests the the WH found for

the press to wear for the Photo Op of the Day?

2. What, no bike ride through the streets of Baghdad?...

or perhaps out into the beautiful desert countryside? No children adoringly throwing flowers at his feet?
