Awesome: Nightclubs reopen in Baghdad

A U.S. military spokesman, responding to a query about the soldiers, was incredulous. “Just so I understand this clearly, you saw U.S. soldiers at a nightclub in downtown Baghdad outside of the Green Zone in uniform drinking and dancing?” asked Tech. Sgt. Chris Stagner.

Club manager Salah Hassan said Thursday’s visit was not exceptional. “The Americans come here four or five times a week,” he said. “They buy drinks and pay for them.”
