Anybody know which way the runways are pointed? North to south or east to west? I kinda hate to think of taking off or landing over enemy held areas.

Well it'll be enemy held for only a few more days or a few weeks.

You can see the two runways in the center of the picture. They run NW to SE.
Bagdad is to the east. Looks like we have control over the approach areas. - Tom

Northwest to southeast. The flightpaths avoid the city center.
