I can spot at least six boxes of Kleenex in the above photo-op, so YES! Everybody's covered!
But anyway, Condi's in Iraq today, and would you believe it? It was a SURPRISE!!! OMG!

Is that a Persian rug? Is it a recent acquisition? The Iraqis are chummier with the Iranians than our gummint would like to admit.
This is a terrible picture journalistic'ly. Every head should be the size of a nickel (old newspaper rule, and still a good one) so that the viewer becomes a participant and support person in the Condoleezza Hairdo Alert international conversation.
Who needs those other fools?
Whoever planned this glorified matching armchairs with interpreter set-up forgot the perfectly draped Amerkin flag behind the guest of honor. Also, you'd think that
U.S. military officers could put on a dress uniform when in the presence of Madame Secretary and Prime Minister Maverick Puppet King. Fatigues really aren't acceptable diplo-wear.
Lulu is right. That photo should have been deleted from the photog's digital camera before proofsheets were even offered.
Reuters is slipping.
Yeah, forget the kleenex and check that persian rug out! Its HUGE! I guess that's what ya get when you invite Amidenijhad to the Hajj. Friendship has its rewards...
