As we were laughing at Bagdad Bob.....

...were we as aware as we should have been that our media was lying and manipulating so much it makes BB look like a cub scout in retrospect.

4. Bob "there are no troops at the airport"
US spokesman - "the roads from the airport to Baghdad have been cleared"

The weather in Baghdad today:

High 116F Low 89F

That doesn't seem so bad as we cook here at home.

PS Humvee's no AC, Helmets and body armor and probably 20+ pounds of gear not factored in.
