USA tak "opanowało" Irak, że muszą chować sie w "Green Zone" w Bagdadzie.
Ale już droga na lotnisko jest dla nich niebezpieczna.

Barely 7 miles long, the four-lane highway is emerging as a symbol of Washington's troubles in Iraq. Despite the presence of more than 138,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, the road is such a death trap that the American and British embassies this week declared it off limits for civilian personnel.
Diplomats now must use helicopters to get to the airport from the fortified "green zone" of ministries and embassies downtown. Anyone else who's leaving Baghdad by airplane still has to brave the road.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. After Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled in April 2003, the U.S.-run Coalition Provisional Authority foresaw the reopening of the airport road that June. Eighteen months later, a senior American official in Washington noted, "We still can't control it."
