Insurgents in Iraq continue to score victory after victory:
Iraqi officials will meet Boeing executives next week as the government considers whether to go with the company's aircraft or those of Europe's Airbus for a national fleet, Iraq's transport minister said yesterday.
Due to too-few-troops-stretched-too-thin the nation is descending into chaos:
Competition between Boeing and Airbus could heat up in Iraq if the country relaunches its national carrier and secures its airports.Iraqi Airways, which owned a formidable fleet before the 1990 Gulf war, operates several flights a week to Amman, Jordan, and Damascus, Syria, using two used Boeing 737s acquired three months ago.
Most Iraqis have given up hope, in the face of an occupier who has no plan:
"Our plan is to return Iraqi Airways as a leading carrier and for Baghdad Airport to become a regional service center," he said yesterday.
Clearly the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time...
