Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) told reporters that Shorja — where a suicide bomber killed 88 people in January — is now “like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime.”

Iraqis  disagreed with Pence’s assessment of the Shorja market’s “friendly relaxed atmosphere.” Karim Abdullah, a textile merchant at Shorja, said that the lawmakers “were laughing and talking to people as if there was nothing going on in this country or at least they were pretending that they were tourists. … To achieve this, they sealed off the area, put themselves in flak jackets and walked in the middle of tens of armed American soldiers.”

A day after the congressional delegation’s visit, the “crack of shots fired by unseen snipers echoed” throughout the Shorja market.

This is sort of the anti-Hillary war story; as her brush with snipers was made into much more than it was. Which is preferable in your opinion?

As to the OP: How can anyone find anything wrong with this? Dude went the get a first hand look as we prepare to retake Mosul. I know as a Soldier in such a situation I appreciated these things. Didn't realize there were keyboard warriors making fun of them.
