Road out of Iraq brings speed bumps for US (AP)

In this Sept. 9, 2011 photo truck drivers stand in queue for water and ice at a military base near the village where Saddam Hussein was born and buried outside the northern city of Tikrit, Iraq. The drive ahead is long and dangerous down Iraq's main north south highway, a prime target for bombings. It's a trip he must complete several times this month, part of a security escort for 53 trucks hauling fuel and equipment out of the country in a massive push to shutter U.S. bases by the year's end. (AP Photo/Lara Jakes)AP - For U.S. Army Pfc. Walter Stiles, the road out of Iraq begins by kicking tires on a dusty military base near the village where Saddam Hussein was born and buried.
