"Three years earlier the roads around Mahmudiya had taken on new names from the invading forces.  The map now read like a subdivision that had been planned by a group of thirty year olds with roads like Harley, Softail, Metallica, and Vader."

"The last time Scania was mortared, the local Imam rounded up the guilty parties, had them beheaded and their bodies put on display in front of the FOB.  So who says the Iraqis can not control their own country?"
