The crisis revolves around the Euphrates River, which quickly became the Euphrates Creek when Turkey completely cut off the water flow upstream of Syria, reported Al Akhbar on May 30. The Euphrates originates in Turkey and passes through the Atatürk Dam before flowing into Syria and Iraq. By cutting off the flow and directing it into the reservoir, Turkey has lowered water levels downstream

King Cyrus the Great has a history with God. Even if he was an Eater of Grass for a while.
I went to school with Arabs and worked with several later. One day I suddenly realized that although they weren’t “stupid” that they saw an entirely different reality. It was impossible to predict what they’d do given a particular input. A Lebanese who sounded like a Tea Partier when we were alone echoed the insane ramblings of the Iranian protesters when they were around. I asked why and he said, “You don’t understand. They won’t kill you for disagreeing because they know that would get them in trouble. But if I disagree it’s like asking them to kill me.” Years later there were six of us and one Palestinian in a conversation regarding Salmon Rushdie. The Palestinian casually, between bites of pizza said, “Well, if he defamed (misquoted) Allah, then he must die.” From observation I deduced that their culture does not connect cause and effect. So, will they worry about floods if some higher paradigm is operable in their logic? Who knows. But I’d put money on retaliation.
Lots of folks think that Revelation is just allegory, and that those things could NEVER really happen.
I figured you did but wanted to correct the record. Those folks will be as shocked as the GOPe was when Brat won.
I like your tag line. Thanks for your service.
Old mountain folk saying: “Never live downstream from a herd.”
Pull your forces to high ground, blow the dam and watch Baghdad empty out fast.
Of course, there will be some water damage but that's what Stanley Steemer is for.
That is why nobody can deal with them. We knew MAD would work on the Russians because they are rational. Threatening to nuke them Mooselimbs till they glow makes them happy because then the 12th Imam comes back.
“...you most likely live downstream and will get flooded”
None of the inbreds over there are bright enough to figure that out until it actually happens.

Larry the Cable Guy:(In regards to New Orleans):
“Anybody that would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats who can’t swim is a genius.”
Interesting. I actually read elsewhere that this ISIL group now controls most if not all of the major waterways into Iraq. Turkey’s position in this is very ambiguous. Did they cut off the water to prevent ISIL from getting it?
Our intelligence services failed, but those in the ME were more aware.
Water is as important as oil - if not more important- if you live in a desert.

Turkey is a member of NATO, soooooooo whatever will Taliban Mullah in Chief B. Hussein Obama do then?
Did you just get Cyrus mixed up with Nebuchadnezzar?
“Turkey is a member of NATO, soooooooo whatever will Taliban Mullah in Chief B. Hussein Obama do then?”
It will be a terrorist attack, not an invasion.
When every result of cause and effect is the will of allah...There is no need to have a logical reason...or critical thinking skills...
I had a conversation with a palestinian co-worker about the Israeli - Palestinian conflict...
He insisted that one day the Jews will soon be forced from the land and walk away
His logic was it was allah's will...even though anybody with any reasoning ability would think that was highly unlikely...as the Jews will fight to the last man to keep their land...
It all depends on what THE VIDEO “is.”
My guess is that the Obamadrone Video will be ignored, just as it was in Benghazi - - - - .
Semper Paratus, My FRiend! :-)
Exactly. Reasoning with people disconnected from reality rarely works. Herding cats makes more sense.
“When every result of cause and effect is the will of allah...There is no need to have a logical reason...or critical thinking skills...”
Oh, my goodness! You nailed it. Of course that’s why they so seldom make any sense.
Genesis 16:12 concerning the descendants of Ishmael:
"He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."
As a matter of fact, yes. But I can use my screen name as cover!
A lot of Genesis is for us, today.
