NV....there are several air bases within the Baghdad city limits....so it might not be the Saddam International..

Well, the airport is in the open. I mean, it's not really defensible against a serious armored thrust. It has a huge highway that connects it to the southwestern neighborhoods of Baghdad proper. Here's the airport....

It's right next to the big "1 3" on this flight map. The airport is cheek by jowl with the city. A more detailed map will show you the cloverleaf on the highway leading to the airport terminal. This town has nice big highways leading into it. Great for Saddam's ego. Better for our armored troops.

Be Seeing You,
