This article seems biased to me. Close it down.

How do you figure? It's true that there's a fair amount of conjecture, but it's reported as such. The mention of 2 fatalities, out of dozens, seems peculiar. The article needs work, but what specifically seems biased? Martin.duke 14:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

This is an excellent article. That photograph of neat kerbs, lamp post and a Subway outlet (!) is one of the most striking and inspiring images I've seen. It just goes to show that Iraq can be transformed into a pleasant little Westernised client state if we really put the effort in. 80.47.61.189 20:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

LSA Anaconda is a US Army base. Balad Air Base is USAF. I believe they should have their own articles. --JAYMEDINC 02:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oppose

They're physically the same installation even if the services call them by different names. I'm not sure how you parse out the information between two articles, or if you end up having the same article twice. I also think it's confusing to readers. I do agree that adding some language about the two names, in addition to a redirect from "Balad Air Base", is in order. Martin.duke 19:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Oppose - I agree with what you said above. They are physically the same place and there is no clear distinction segregating one area from another. -- VegitaU 03:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Balad Air Base is ensconced within LSA Anaconda. It is an inseperable part of the installation. and secondary to it. Th USAF commander reports to the Army commander for all instalation related decisions, if I'm not mistaken. Aestiva 01:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
