Anyone here use Google Earth?

Or at least played around with it?

If you do, type in "Tikrit, Iraq", and go a few miles northwest of the location it gives you. You will see something pretty unbelievable.

But next time could you be more vague?

(I'm downloading Google Earth to take a look though, my interest has been piqued by your vagueness. :P)

Really, you can find Guantanamo Bay if you search hard enough...
