Haven't heard much about that airport "Highway of Death" lately, have you?
That's because for almost a year now it has been wide open, with commerce
flowing on a daily basis. Likewise, the main highways from Baghdad to
Kirkuk and Baghdad to Amman. But of course, you won't hear much about
this on the nightly news or in the Times or Post, for the simple reason
that such news won't hurt Bush. But these are facts, and facts are
immutable. The people know what's going on.

Guy, there's 1000 soldiers trying to secure that road, and with much
success, but it still isn't "wide open". Let's see 6 miles of road, 1000
soldiers, hmmm. How many miles of highway are there in Iraq?
