Joint efforts work to improve the roads, vital to the
rural
economy, which provide
a means to transport goods, not only from farm to
market, but
between towns.

BASE CAMP ADDER, Iraq, Sept. 12, 2005 - In the
eighth century,
Baghdad was the western end of the "Silk Road," a
trade route
reaching to China. Ironically, conditions on some
village
roads in Iraq have yet to progress much beyond those
of that
centuries-old road.
"Some of the areas to receive roads
improvements
currently have only trails that support foot
traffic and
donkey carts, and [sustain] hundreds of
villagers along
their routes. The intent of these projects is
to
construct paved roads for everyday use by the
local
population."
Art Bennett, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
While, overall, Iraq has an extensive road network
extending
more than 25,000 miles, the transportation network is
still in
dire straits. Little maintenance was done on the road
infrastructure built in the 1970s and 1980s. Neglect
and a
lack of new construction left many roads in
deplorable
condition with many rural roads little more than one-
or
two-lane dirt paths rendered impassable when the
rains come.
Today in southern Iraq, nearly $42 million is being
invested
to upgrade this infrastructure.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Gulf Region South;
the
Programs and Contracting Office; the Iraqi Ministry
of Housing
and Construction, and local deputy governors
coordinate
continuing efforts to target and remedy the lack of
improved
roads between many villages and to connect them to
improved
roads. These roads, often referred to as
"farm-to-market
roads" are vital to the economy of rural areas
because they
provide a reliable route for residents to transport
goods, not
only from farm to market, but between towns.
Now as reconstruction gains momentum, the need is
essential
for a transportation network that provides efficient
movement
of essential products such as construction materials
and
equipment, fuel and other supplies.
"Some of the areas to receive roads improvements
currently
have only trails that support foot traffic and donkey
carts,
and [sustain] hundreds of villagers along their
routes. The
intent of these projects is to construct paved roads
for
everyday use by the local population," said Art
Bennett,
project manager, Gulf Region South Transportation and
Facilities sector.
"We are working closely with the director general
in each of
the governorates to facilitate construction and to
resolve
disputes. The [director generals] best know the local
situation and their knowledge is critical in making
the right
choices," said Bennett, who is temporarily deployed
to Iraq
from the Jacksonville District in Florida.
As with nearly all reconstruction efforts, this
program uses
local contractors, thereby directly contributing to
rebuilding
Iraq's infrastructure by providing work for local
businesses
and putting money directly into the local economy.
Bennett said the majority of the roads are being
built over
existing dirt roads. While actual work may vary from
site to
site, in general, it includes construction of
two-lane roads
and soil shoulders on each side. While Gulf Region
South
provides quality assurance oversight, the roads must
meet
Iraqi Ministry of Housing and Construction
specifications.
Engineers from Gulf Region South said the paving of
the rural
roads should boost the region's economy by making
it easier to
transport goods. Rural areas will then have easier
access to
nearby towns and villages, and will no longer have to
rely on
the "Silk Road."
GREAT! Now the MUSLIM DOPE SMUGGLERS CAN RIDE IN STYLE! In case you
forgot, the ancient 'silk' road is the most notious smuugling route in
World History. Long before Islam made its bloody appearence, the
Asians were using this route to bring drugs into Europe and Africa.
When Mohammed launched his bloody Muslim conquests he relied on a
particularly savage Bedouin Tribe known as the Gazi to defeat and
conque Mecca. In order to attrack these very barbacic Bedouin warriors
to his Ideology of Murder, he promised them great war booty - you'll
find these passage throughout the Queer'ran.
One of the most important tasks of early Islamic armies was to sieze
and control the smuggling routes and, since Mohammed was a Criminal
Mastermind he and his murderous savages quickly accomplished this feat.
Profits from the Drug Trade and Slavery made the conquering Muslim
armies quite happy and the booty taken made the Ulama incredibly
wealthy.
Arabs have been the world's largest suppliers and smugglers of Drugs
since the dawn of history and the Miscreant Genuis Mohammed one of the
wealthiest men on earth.
THIS IS GREAT - AMERICAN DEMOCRACY - NOW THE MUSLIM DOPE SMUGGLERS CAN
REALLY RIDE IN STYLE - JUST LIKE THE NEGRO AND MEXICAN DOPE DEALERS IN
THE USA -
AND YOU AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!
