Jim Moran will want it change when and if his party gets back in power.

forces informally renamed ``Bush International Airport.''Already exists in Houston, TX (named for W's father). We should take suggestions for a better name.
"W International" perhaps?
To: kattracks
A hastily erected sign at the airfield's entrance read ``Bush International Airport'' for the U.S. president.Any chance this could stick with the post democratic Iraq?

The first U.S. airplane landed Thursday at a key Iraqi airfield, which forces informally renamed ``Bush International Airport.'' I like it. :)

Nor I think will the Shi'ites. Be humble in all things-those people are easily pricked.

"Tallil's main runway, once used by Iraqi jet fighters, is long enough to take the military's largest transport planes, as well as civilian jumbo jets." Yuppers, 12,000 feet is plenty for just about anything, assuming that it was constructed for heavy double-tandem loads. And one would imagine that, as much concrete as Maddam has been pouring, that they built this strip pretty well.
Of course, 15,000 feet would be even nicer for heavy outbound lift capability during very hot weather, when air density is lower, but what we're primarily interested is INBOUND lift capacity, so 12,000 is plenty. And that area's not at a particularly lofty altitude, so density-alt. calcs don't really factor in.
This is a nice jewel for us to capture.
