Daily Kos :: Comments Update on the Giuliana Sgrena story

must be km/h, not mph (none / 0)

See quote by RHunter downthread which says 100mph, which happens to be 160km/h (kilometer per hour). Even that seems pretty darn unlikely if you ask me, but 160mph you really can't do except on an interstate or on a race course.

Damn George Bush! Damn everyone that won't damn George Bush! Damn every one that won't put lights in his window and sit up all night damning George Bush!

- MPH (none / 0)
  
  That was my point. I don't know if the car could even GO that fast. And it was definately MPH. It was an American news report, quoting an American spokesman. I took notice because it seemed such a ridiculous speed to say they were travelling at.
  Yes, Italians do drive fast (my Dad has horror stories of Naples and Rome), but there would be few people who could control a car at that speed in the best of circumstances let alone a rainy, presumably narrow Baghdad street.
  Cheers,
