US army chief in Baghdad with celebrities in tow

BAGHDAD (AFP) Dec 14, 2004
The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, landed in Baghdad on Tuesday with a group of American celebrities in tow.
Myers arrived from Kuwait Tuesday at a military base near the capital's international airport along with comedian Robin Williams, American football star Jon Elway and US model Leeann Tweeden.

Why? Weapons of mass seduction? If so, let's just hope the Iraqis are better boned up on American celebrities than I am. However, Robin Williams (the only one I've ever heard of) might be a stellar blast: either he'll convince them all Westerners are utterly bonkers or beat them into orderly submission with a megadose of deadly saccharin.

The Shia Muslims will love her. Presumably this one's for the boys in khaki.
