It's warming up a little early this year, and looks like another of their wretched dust storms is coming. And to think that the Garden of Eden has been said to have been located there once.

Great collection. Can anyone point me to a good political map of Baghdad and its environs? I'd like to be able to follow the endgame as it plays out.

My favorite is: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html

Select "Iraq" or whatever country you want to know about.

Thank God for this computer line and that I live in the most heavily wired country in the world. These maps come up instantaneously here in Soth Korea. Oh yeah, war weather looks good too.

Click on the IRAQMAPS keyword just above post #1 for some Freeper map threads.

Here's one that I've found...

A peculiarity...

Notice the 4th jpeg from the bottom. Notice the five large and strange circular and one oblong cloud patterns near the center/left portion of the photo. Could we be looking at contrails from refueling aircraft in loiter mode?

(These strange cloud patterns can be seen more clearly if you go to the larger original jpeg of that particular photo.)

I saw those too, and they certainly don't seem natural. The H2 and H3 airbases we captured out in Western Iraq are in that general vicinity.

You know, with a couple of margaritas poolside, Iraq wouldn't be a half bad vacation spot.

Hope our boys get a little of that after they wrap this up.

Actually, I misread the map. Those airbases actually aren't that close to the circular cloud formations in the satellite pic.

The silver lining: dust storms inhibit chemical attack.

A little trivia: the word "chemical" is derived from "Khemt," the ancient name of Egypt.

Well, after a few rounds of B-52s.

It's also my understanding that the heat has an effect on chemicals also and makes them less effective

I agree, the H3, H2 airfield/towns are northwest of those formations. I still think the circular ones are KC-135 and KC-10 refueling aircraft in loiter mode, but I think the long single oblong formation is an E-8C JSTARS (Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System). The range of this aircraft from the Baghdad battle field is about right for the radar systems they use.

Very interesting both for what it shows us and for what this says about the kind of info that the military is not concerned that the Iraqis know.

True. BTW, there were a couple of days last week where the Iraqi satellite pics weren't available, and I see a couple more have been deleted from the archive. Makes you wonder.
