2. I didn't recognize him without his parka. What's with his head in pic #7?
Looks like it's got a piece missing.

5. I can almost read Cheney's mind as he struggles out of the
heli on photo #6. He's hanging on to the railing. He's thought about the dangers in this country. He didn't want to go. Security is still out of control in Iraq. But his advisors told him, "Look, Dick, the country is about to mutiny on you. Congress and the Senate are planning to push the 'eject' button on you. You've GOT to go to Iraq. Look happy. Schmooze with the troops, and all that. Eat a dinner with them.

So Cheney stumbles off the heli which has guns on the side, just in case.

"Shit, what I do for this country. And do they thank me?"
