Few thoughts:

1) I think the Iraqi journalist in the light brown suit that was the first to react(on camera, at least) should be commended and given a high spot within the Iraqi government.

2) I assume everyone was heavily screened and metal detected before being allowed into the room, but it's still nice to know that if you manage to get a weapon of some sort into the room, you have about a 4 second grace period in which you can unlash that weapon onto the President of the United States.

3) I like Bush's reaction the first time but he looked like a little bitch trying to bat the second one down. Theodore Roosevelt would have charged the man and beat him with his own shoe. What happened to the days of Manifest Destiny?
