More "wonderful" news from Dumbya's "valley of peace" : news.independent.co.uk 30 November 2004 Disintegrating security in Baghdad was underlined in a sombre warning yesterday from the British embassy against using the airport road or taking a plane out of Iraq. The embassy says a bomb was discovered on a flight inside Iraq on 22 November. It shows that insurgents have been able to penetrate the stringent security at Baghdad airport. The embassy says its own staff have been advised against taking commercial planes. The warning is in sharp contrast to more optimistic statements from US military commanders after the capture of Fallujah in which they have spoken of "breaking the back of the insurgency". The embassy says that the road between Baghdad and the international airport, perhaps the most important highway in the country, is now too dangerous to use. The advice says starkly: "With effect from 28 November, the British embassy ceased all movements on the Baghdad International airport road." The airport road is littered with evidence of previous attacks: the twisted cars used by suicide bombers and craters from roadside bombs. ... (Well, Baghdad Bob was right after all... The invaders don't control the road from Baghdad to its airport!)
