The Sheraton is not in the green zone.

Realize that now (wolf blitzer mentioning a hell of a lot though). But it is supposed to be a secure area in baghdad.

They are in "relatively" secure areas according to the reporter I'm listening to on my XM Radio at work.

Wolf is full of shit. That area is not safe, especially for journalists these days since they are easy targets.

These explosions are taking place near/outside the two hotels were most of the international journalists stay, those places are generally designate as relatively safe, though not part of the green zone.

But this is not the first time its been hit, the sheraton and the palestine hotel have always been targets. Wolf is trying to make it out like this has been a safe and secured area up to this point which is wrong.

Must be expensive to run a high end hotel in Baghdad.

Ripclawe, is it supposed to be good or bad for the administration that the hotel has been attacked multiple times? I mean, you brought those links out like it is a good thing.

This is an intresting new form of arguementation though.. "guys, its not that bad, its not like its the first time we've screwed this up."
