Should Americans take the meeting site as a sign that even the heavily guarded "green zone" in Baghdad -- where a car bomb Wednesday was set off, intending to kill Iraq's speaker of parliament -- isn't safe enough for a presidential arrival?

Don't forget that when Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice traveled to Iraq last month, she had to wear a bullet-proof vest -- at an airport that the U.S. supposedly secured two years ago.

1. my guess is that the neocons don't dare go there, because of the chaos

they've created is now nearing critical mass, and a visit by Monkey Boy or Big Dick could be the tipping point.

Look at the effect the meeting is having even outside the country.

2. This is the meeting Sadr's people have threatened to quit over?

Just mentioning that story too.

3. Yes, Sadr is upset that Bush is snubbing their capital. The insult of it!

4. the "opposition" is planting bombs

inside the "emerald city". there is no place he can go in iraq.

even if the bushies won't admit it.
