Marines yesterday created an airstrip from a modern highway outside Baghdad. They "shaved" a 3,500-ft strip of highway of all signs, concrete barriers and other obstacles. Then a fuel-laden C-130 cargo plane landed, providing a huge forward fuel base for U.S. troops.

"Creating" the "airbase" took less than 24 hours. Amazing!
