Was anyone watching CNN just now?
They were interviewing a reporter in Baghdad. There were several explosions (just noises, nothing visible) while he was speaking, and he looked absolutely terrified. He jumped at every noise and kept looking behind him during the interview.

It made me think about what Wolfowitz said about journalists in Iraq.

1. Iraq is falling apart
I suspect it will collapse into civil war before the year is out.
Bush will continue to tout what a good job he's doing and how wonderful it is that we have a liberted Iraq.

2. Wolfowitz insulted journalists in Iraq as not being
close enough to the danger.

Meanwhile, the last time Wolfowitz went to Iraq, his hotel was attacked, and he hasn't gone there since.

4. Administration only does surprise visits
Have you noticed how Bush people only fly into Iraq unannounced? I guess they're afraid they will be attacked.

6. Don't forget who is in Iraq now running things, John Negroponte....
...of Nicaragua/Central American insurgency fame. This is proceeding according to the Bush plan. Oh yes it is!
