Brian Williams came on Meet the Press to preview his reporting from Iraq:
| “We thought it was a good time to take another good, hard look at the situation here. The situation on the ground, as you know, there has been a change in the tempo of the violence of late, which brings us to check in on the progress of the so-called troop surge. As you know, some elements are already here, and not far from our current location here in Camp Victory, they are clearing a lot of ground, for the new home of the third infantry division, doing another tour here. So, we’ll look at all of this, we’ll look at safety, life on the streets. You notice no body armor required, where we’re talking to you, that’s a change from past years. So the safety issue has changed, we’ll take a good hard look at all of it. We should quickly add, we’ve taken every precaution to guarantee our own safety, and that of our team while we’re here. So we’ll see you each night, most of the week, live here, from Baghdad.” |
