6. Deal is, it's a "visitor vest"
Someone with a slingshot could've plunked the addled old fool.

He might have well been wearing a 'cup'.

13. Oh, he is just wearing it to be COOL... Since everyone else there
has to wear one, he just wanted to fit in. Of COURSE he doesn't really need it. ;-)

5. It's a kevlar vest.
But it's just a fashion statement, because Baghdad is a totally safe city to stroll around in.

Just ask the Senator.

9. Plus a sweep of the area was done
and helicopters flying above with U.S. snipers on the roofs so he could show he walked "freely".

10. They were out of bullet vests so they used modified bib overalls
and put hard taffy molded similar to what is used in vests in the pockets.

15. I don't know about you, but I've always been nervous
when I'm hanging around folks wearing full battle gear carrying locked and loaded weapons. But then again, ya gotta go where the photo op is.

20. He had to protect himself
from all the tomatoes that might get tossed at him. Farmer's Markets are safe in Iraq and the only danger comes from getting caught in a food fight.
