BUT WHERE'S THE SPRITZ?

Everybody and his uncle is arriving in Baghdad or trying to. The SkyGuy has landed, but his entry is blaah. This guy seems like he might be more of a live wire:

*Finally I make it to the hotel. Though well guarded, it’s a microcosm of everything that goes wrong in Baghdad.

The power goes off regularly, so often I walk from one level to the next because the elevators don't always work. For three weeks there wasn't any hot water because the boiler broke, and no one, including the U.S. Army officer who is in charge of this area, could get it fixed...

When Strosky finally got some kind of warm water to the hotel, a day later insurgents apparently blew up a water main supplying most of Baghdad. So we - along with millions of Iraqis - went from no hot water to no water at all...

The lights just went out again. And the window rattled from a distant bomb blast. It's gotta get better, right?*
