No helmets, and minimal flack vests (that would not stop an armor piercing round, or a steel bullet), but oh, they’ve got their dark glasses on (which doesn’t allow them to see into shadows on a nice bright sunshiny day). Two head shots from anybody half way proficient at a distance, and they’re down. The incompetent idiot (seems to fit though, doesn’t it) running their security should be fired. Heckuva job.</p> Check out the bodyguards on the ground.

Is there any Iraqi there who doesn’t break out into laughing when he pulls his Darth Vader routine? Is there one who doesn’t tell him to take off the silly mask and breathe like a man?

Who is he there to intimidate?
Is he briefing Betrayus on the Iran attacks?
Is he reaming Betrayus a new one on his unacceptable remarks on the future of Iraq?

Are there really enough people in the military who don’t gag in his presence to travel with The Big Dick?

BTW… can we impeach him now?
calling Mr. Wexler…

ITMFA

They groomed and sent Mrs Bhutto to her death as a gambit to put in a puppet government in Pakistan another merciless FUBAR. How many puppet governments have we set up just ask the The United Nations Refugee Organization who have to help them.
We saw it coming “Quelle Tradgedie”
This is all so heart rending to go into a region and destabilise it causing abject misery and destruction of hope for a future of a long list of countries that are all close to desperation.

Why don’t I believe Cheney is there to create political stability? A pre election play and McSame comes back with peace between all parties.

A billion dollar Embassy is not for keeps? 5, Billion dollar military/air bases are not for keeps?

The Sunnis do not want the Iranians…but the Shites and Sadr do and they have eons to fight it out.

The secular society is gone and with it womens right and a professional establishment. FUBAR

Do the Dem congress critters understand this mess? I wonder. Do they know the Russians and the Chinese are impatient with us?

U.S. stock futures slumped Monday, as the fire sale of Bear Stearns and an emergency weekend Federal Reserve move amplified investors’ fears of a credit-related domino effect at firms saddled with atrophied credit investments.

About an hour and a half before the start of trading, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down roughly 200 points at about 11780 and the S&P 500 futures were down 29.7 points at 1263.10. Futures on the Nasdaq Composite Index were down about 37 points at 1689. Changes in futures do not always accurately predict early market moves after the opening bell.
