......told me he was having bullet-proof glass installed....

Doubtful statement and either a press fabrication or a lie. such a change is probably not possible within the present conditions in Iraq.

"All day, glaziers from Nawaf Al Zaidan's contracting firm... next-door neighbour and closest friend, was curious. The windows did not need replacing and glass has been scarce since the war."

This would answer, at least for me, the veracity of the installation of bullet proof glass.

Bullet proof glass would help to explain how two pantywaists held off the US Army for 6 hours. Or maybe the 6 hours is a fabricaton, too?
