You know, I've always thought that "Highway of Death" business was largely left wing bullshit. No doubt a bunch of Iraqi "soldiers" were killed, as they should have been, but as far as wholesale carnage is concerned, no way. This was a gigantic, maybe miles-long, bumper-to-bumper gridlock of trucks, cars, and military vehicles of all kinds. They were all stopped when the lead vehicles were shot up. Then the A-10s and gunships came in, one after another, and blew up the others more or less at their leisure, because they couldn't go anywhere. Any Iraqi who sat in his vehicle, as one truck after another up and down the line was blown up, patiently awaiting his turn to be blown up, would probably have died anyway from forgetting to breathe. Granted, these are our president's co-religionists, the same mental giants who enjoy blowing themselves up with bomb vests, but still, I have to believe the vast majority of them escaped into the surrounding desert, rather than sitting in their vehicles waiting for their A-10 appointment. Every time I see a weepy story lamenting the slaughter, it includes a picture of the same charred corpse.
