Lunchtime Visit
An interesting piece on the logistics of withdrawal from Iraq from yesterday’s Washington Times:
According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the military has some 300,000 “heavy” items that would have to be shipped back, such as ice-cream machines that churn out different flavors upon request at a dozen bases throughout the California-size country. And before it can be loaded onto ships, equipment has to be scrubbed clean to conform to U.S. Agriculture Department regulations. The U.S. maintains some 200 wash points in Kuwait. Helicopters have to be shrinkwrapped.
