VP Dickwahd al-Cheney greeted in traditional manner
Much to the fury of Old Johnny Two-Face whose arrival was greeted by a thundering silence, Dickwahd received the customary large explosions of welcome when he slunk into Baghdad.
UPDATE: McClatchy nails the spirit of Dickwahd's visit with this headline.
A female suicide bomber penetrated one of the most secure perimeters in Iraq Monday evening and killed at least 42 people near the Imam Hussein shrine in the Shiite holy city of Karbala, according to the Iraqi authorities...Contrast this to the warm and open welcome to Iran's Ahmadinejad just weeks earlier. Although the slinking in style of entrance does suit Dickwahd very well.
...North of Baghdad, two American soldiers were killed just after noon on Monday when a large roadside bomb exploded near their vehicle, the American military command in Baghdad reported. The soldiers were part of a team working to clear a roadway of bombs and other threats, the military said.
