Stay in the Green Zone

Condi’s apology to al Maliki may not have yet made it to the ‘hood’.

BAGHDAD – The United States on Tuesday suspended all land travel by U.S. diplomats and other civilian officials throughout Iraq except in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone following a weekend incident involving private security guards in which a number of Iraqi civilians were killed.

This is probably just a temporary situation. A precaution, if you will. When was the last time they did this?

Analysis: Some people say that this means that the surge is working, but I predict rug sales to Congress will dip sharply.

I was going to add another Iraq story I just saw, but am going to sleep instead.

    you can spare.

  1. to take the diplomats out…right after the troops come home.

    IF the surge is working, I’m a billionaire and will vote Republican in 2008!

  2. is a reference to “red light/green light”, Astroturf…or the color of money.

    earlier to brief Gordon Broon and Des “Dangleberry” Browne – a man kinder people than I would describe as a toady.

    Broon may well believe him. Browne will believe what Broon tells him to.

    It must comfort them greatly in Baghdad, to have a Green Zone of their very own.
