Security conditions in Iraq prevented Bachmann from meeting any Iraqis, leaving the Green Zone
or staying in Iraq overnight. She and other congressional members were required to wear full body armor, including Kevlar helmets, during the entire trip, she said.

But she said she was encouraged by reports of progress from Crocker, Gen. David Petraeus and other personnel in Iraq linked to the surge.

2. From hiding (from the press?) behind a bush during her campaign to wearing
s camouflage suit in Iraq. Wow? She's moving up!

4. This is absolutely precious.
She very nearly dies, but she won't say the surge isn't working.
