BAGHDAD, Iraq — On the same day United Nations officials flew out of Baghdad, Drew Carey flew in Friday, commanding a company of comedians on a mission to entertain U.S. troops.
"I love Baghdad," Carey said. "You have camels, bugs and everything's served up with a big dirty glass of water. Sorry. If there's any locals here tonight, I'm just joking around. We're very grateful for all the hospitality you've shown," he said sarcastically.

Carey, a longtime supporter of the USO, chatted about his recent Lasik eye surgery and his 2001 heart surgery. "I had an angioplasty and a stent. The same thing that Dick Cheney had, only they left my heart in."
...
Carey and Kinney weren't the only Hollywood stars in town. Touring with his band The Accelerators, actor Bruce Willis entertained troops in Iraq and Kuwait last week and through the weekend. On Sunday Willis gave a rock concert at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. Last week the action star told troops in northern Iraq: "We're here to support you. If you can catch him, just give me four seconds with Saddam Hussein."
