In Iraq I was really surprised by how quickly these barriers showed up and how easy it was to build fortifications. I always wondered where they were made, the quality of the concrete and the cost. It seemed there was an endless supply. On the night before the first election alone we basically put jersey barriers up on every major street in the city. Nuts. I always imagined some factory in the desert near an aggregate source where they just poured these things as fast as possible.
