Why the Long Faces?

I first saw this image last week, when Bush was in Baghdad, Iraq, for less than five hours on a super-duper-top-secret photo-op in an attempt to prop-up his abysmally low public approval numbers. These guys don’t appear too happy to serve as props for Bush:

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, left, and White House Counselor Dan Barlett, ride in a military helicopter wearing helmets and flak jackets for a trip from Baghdad International Airport to U.S. Embassy in the Greenzone Tuesday, June 13, 2006 in Baghdad, Iraq. Snow and Bartlett traveled with President Bush who made a surprise visit to Baghdad.

Thanks to BAGnewsNotes.com for the image.
