the battlefield

iraq is about the size of california, and baghdad is about the size of the san francisco bay area. i try to imagine the battle in my home state and megalopolis.

they had mock troop exercises in oakland, practicing for the iraqui invasion.

there was some local resistance, but there were no live bullets.

former governor jerry brown, now mayor of oakland, welcomed the invading general.
