BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq appeared to briefly lose consciousness during a news conference today, bumping his face into a podium microphone. He left the room for a period but returned smiling and answered more questions. There was no immediate explanation for the apparent fainting spell suffered by Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the deputy head of operations in Iraq, who delivers daily briefings to Baghdad-based journalists alongside the top U.S. coalition spokesman Dan Senor. Kimmitt had left the podium for a few minutes earlier in the press conference, which was broadcast live internationally. He returned, looking pale, to take more questions.
