Come Fly the Iraqi Skies
Some good news has come out of Iraq today. CNN.com is reporting that after 14 years, Iraqi Airways is resuming scheduled flights tomorrow.
Although Iraqi Airways only has one working plane out of their 20 year old 16-plane fleet, we can expect flights from Baghdad to Syria and Jordan twice a week and flights to Dubai beginning shortly.
There are some catches though. A ticket to Damascus would cost $600, and $750 to Amman. A road trip to those cities costs about $40. Still, with all that nice rich oil we are pumping (for the Iraqis, of course), people in Iraq probably have tons of money to throw into air flights to Damascus. Democracy in Action!
Now that Iraqi Airways is flying again, American Brand IRAQI FREEDOMTM can finally be displayed in a single item:
Now that's a bag I can barf in with pride! $200 billion well spent!

Well, I for one would rather spend the $600 yaking in the American Freedom (tm) Bag than on the road. Especially when one of those great Heat-Seeking Stingers that we gave the Iraqi's back during the Iraq-Iran war. I don't know about you, but that seems to be a hell of a lot more fun way to travel to Syria than by car.
