Leave It to Benari

Iraq is a big country. Lots of sand, lots of territory to cover. So when Stephen Colbert, newsman extraordinaire makes a foray into Baghdad to visit with the thousands upon thousands of troops assigned there, what are the chances he's going to bump into one boy from Chelmsford - a former Congressional staffer from the trenches of the Fifth District, part-time stand up comedian, and fellow comic afficionado?

Well, seeing as how it's never-met-a-camera-I-didn't-like Sgt. First Class Benari Poulten, stationed over there on active duty, the chances are pretty good. As a matter of fact, bet on it.

Here's a pic of both Captain America and Bucky at the Al Faw Palace at Camp Victory in Baghdad during Colbert's recent USO tour. You figure out which is which.
