Yes, yes, great article. It's hot in Baghdad, like really hot so drink water. If your not in the military, your not high on anyone's priority, so you might have to wait around a lot. They have home comforts for the troops like Pizza Hut and McDonalds. You need to have a press badge to get into hotels in the Green Zone. If you've only been there a day or two, you might only hear a few explosions, but the chances you'd be near them aren't really high. HOLY SHIT, stop the presses.
This was the funniest thing I've read in a week. Why? Because I did this. Next you should talk about the lack of deodorant soap in Iraq. If you need an interview, *points at self*
finally someone who is writing a story about this place, and they have been here. i love it, see i am there in northern baghdad right now with the army. i work in the green zone all the time. i run convoy protection on the most dangerous roads there are in iraq. best of luck to you buddy keep your head down.
