Beyond evidence of the lingering indignity of Bush’s Iraq farewell, I wonder if there might have been nearly so many tight close-ups if it was Fleischer, McClellan or Snow who got popped in the eye. (Actual size on Daylife.)

Then, there was this from a collection of Islamic world cartoons featured at Daily Beast. Translation? : THE LAST THING BUSH SAW IN IRAQ.

… Still, however, my best 02/’03 recollection on the theme — during the stretch when Cheney/Bush was walking all over the U.N. inspection program — was Hans Blix planting his loafers on George Senior’s face at the El Rasheed.
