#1 ...Now, I will freely confess to not knowing the topography along the Airport Highway in Baghdad - but having said that, why is there a single building still standing within accurate gunfire range of the highway?
"Notorious for frequent assaults", my a*s. These guys are not accurate, long-range shooters, they are spray-and-pray thugs. Clear out everything within about 150-200 feet on either side of the highway, and a lot of the problem goes away.

#2 Given the already loving relations between Turkey and the muzzies in Northern Iraq I would hate to be in the Northern provences next week. Turkey will certainly hold a grudge and remove a few villages for this. I can already feel the love!
