Bringing Building Supplies To Baghdad
The British have come up with a unique way of bringing concrete into the tight streets and alleys of Baghdad. Many of these areas are going to require rebuilding after the war since Saddam is parking tanks and other weapons there. So they Brits have figured out how to drop 1000 lb blocks of laser guided concrete right to where they will be most needed. As a side benefit they can use the tank to dissipate the energy of the block. Tank is destroyed, rebuilding supplies in place. A win - win!
Now if we can just get the Americans to drop in some stonecutters and artisans, we can start rebuilding the city in a great medieval style. Too bad large parts of the city will end up blue.........
