BAGHDAD — For the last plane full of generals, military staff and dignitaries from half a dozen countries returning to Iraq to resume the fight, the 3rd annual Coalition Conference in Warsaw ended with an afternoon trip down Airport Road.
After three days of briefings, updates and get-togethers — and a little minimum-security sightseeing on Warsaw’s blissfully chilly, quiet streets — the group had touched down at Baghdad International Airport to find their helicopters had been put into the service of visiting U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
They would be traveling back to their International Zone offices the same way incoming troops did — by armored bus. Only not, as is standard procedure here under the cover of night, but at three in the afternoon.
