Velvet Rope Tour

This evening the Brian Sussman show featured a call from the Green Zone by Melanie Morgan She's co-chair of the Truth Tour, organized by Move America Forward, RighTalk Radio Network, and CENTCOM.

Melanie took great pains to point out that the insurgency is well-established in Baghdad. It took ten hours for the radio personalities to make the short trip from the airport (Camp Victory) to the Green Zone, because a convoy had to be organized. In highlighting the bravery and maturity of the American soldiers who sheparded these media elites through danger, Melanie seemed oblivious to the sad fact that a failure by their civilian leaders to secure Baghdad two years ago lies at the root of this situation.

I suppose that Melanie and crew wrote a check to cover the cost of of the convoy, because they would never want to stick ot to the American taxpayer for their junket.

“There are some people who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of the U.S. military who are trying to undercut this effort by suggesting it is somehow paid for by the U.S. Government or taxpayers – and that is completely untrue,” said Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, a host with the RighTalk Radio Network and board member of Move America Forward.
Melanie lashed out at critics who call this the "Velvet Rope Tour", given that they will be entirely under the protection of the ocuppying forces at all times.
The group will be based at Camp Victory and will also travel to the Green Zone in downtown Baghdad to report on conditions as they see them.
Melanie pointed out that during the tours of the Green Zone, they would briefly poke their heads out of the Green Zone and into the "Red Zone" where the terrorists are. There may be innocent Iraqis in the Red Zone, but Melanie doesn't know about that sort of thing.
