Are we supposed to believe that Iraq currently has border agents who are checking passports and turning away people who don't, especially when they're coming in to blow up Coalition forces? I believe the ruse was that if they were passing through coalition checkpoints, they thought we wouldn't detain them as they are non-combatant foreigners. I guess they didn't reckon on the SAS.
No one ever said it was a good or intelligent plan.

At this point, I don't think there is any legitimate traffic on the roads leading to Baghdad. If a vehicle is driving to Baghdad, it should be stopped by force if necessary.
