Condi paid a surprise visit to both the sheep and the leaders of Iraq yesterday.

Earlier, the secretary arrived at a military airport and rode by
helicopter to a U.S. base near Mosul, flying over sheep grazing next to
the roofless shells of bombed-out buildings and houses.


Baa-Baa Boom!

Rice met behind closed doors in Baghdad with several prominent Sunni
Arab leaders, including tribalist leader and Vice President Ghazi
al-Yawer.


It is still unclear as to whether the sheep were included in the "closed door meeting."
