They can't even have the same distance from Baghdad!

- 225 miles
- 100 miles
- 250 km

Reliable sources!
250 kilometers = 160 miles. 60 miles give or take between two of the reports. Everyone wants to be first to press, a difference in the number of miles reported does not invalidate the report. At least try to come up with something good if you want to ignorantly insist that Iraq wasn't up to anything.
