Ok maybe you are right about "relax" but he was out "picnicing" in a war zone?
People are living fairly normal lives in a lot of Iraq. CNN (and their other cohorts in the mainstream media) distorts the truth to the point that we here don't even recognize the place they're talking about when they report on Iraq.
There is an amazing amount of fun and relaxing things you can do in a war zone if you use your imagination.
There are many, many more good news stories from Iraq that will never see the light of day in the press.
