Lampley is only projecting his own anti-Bush sentiments into the Olympics.,
He says "his presence would probably not be a welcome sight for those entrusted with the complex security operation already in place here."
In other words, he has no idea.
He also implies as if all or most Iraqi soccer players had spoken out against Bush, which is not true either.
It looks like as a result of someone leaking the news to Drudge (whoever did it, should be fired), Bush is not going, and Powell will represent the US at the closing ceremony.
