BBC World covered Senator Clinton's visit to Afghanistan, but completely missed the President's visit to Iraq. Is this really as odd as it seems? I mean, it's nice that Hillary is visiting the troops, but you'd think that news isn't in the same class as George W. Bush's suprise flight to Baghdad. Then again, maybe they figured it for a "stunt" like his suprise visit to an aircraft carrier after the fall of Baghdad and felt it was their duty to limit such "media grandstanding." Or it could be that the BBC is just a joke.
Update: Apparently the BBC wasn't the only wet blanket. Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post and CNN's "Reliable Sources" suggests that "some reporters" might be angry that the President "lied to the press." That just was not the first thing that leapt to my mind, but I imagine the peace movement too will see a pattern. I suppose they'd also have insisted on giving Hitler fair warning about the invasion of Normandy.
