Thanks once again. Some of the areas mentioned I am familiar with from maps as well as reading things on these sites years back. My nephew was in al Mahmudiya with the 2/2 Marine battalion, in 2004. He spent time in some of the mentioned towns south and west of the capital. Lot of manufacturing/warehousing buildings south of the capital. Lots of places to hide stuff as well as produce bio/chemical stuff for weapons.
Now that seems some what insane....might be smart to move them....
