The Washington Post Reports:
Hours before President Bush left on a surprise trip last Monday to the Green Zone in Baghdad for an upbeat assessment of the situation there, the U.S. Embassy in Iraq painted a starkly different portrait of increasing danger and hardship faced by its Iraqi employees. This cable, marked "sensitive" and obtained by The Washington Post, outlines in spare prose the daily-worsening conditions for those who live outside the heavily guarded international zone: harassment, threats and the employees' constant fears that their neighbors will discover they work for the U.S. government.
Compare Bush's View of Iraq to This Memo recieved by The Washington Post from Ambassador Khalilzad to The President's "rose garden view" of Iraq. Amazing! I wonder what color is the sun on Bush's planet?
