Did you know that all US Military Vehicles left begin in Iraq use the hides of Hogs for upholstery, and Hog lard for lubrication?
I read it somewhere in a comment that somebody said that he thought that he remembered saying to Senator Reid.
If Senator Reid repeats it on the US Senate floor, then it just has to be true.

So why wouldn’t ISIS sabotage the dam if they thought they were about to lose control of it? Thus, Bath House would be an accomplice to the death and destruction which would follow takedown of the dam. Fitting.

Uh, maybe this will cause the ragheads to blow the dam?
The pattern so far is that we come in a day late and a dollar short.

Why the unilateral action? Where are our allies? Why the rush to war? Why not give sanctions a chance?I can only guess.
a) Obama too inept to even try to build a coalition or
b) he failed to build a coalition or

Good move. That dam has to be taken before we can clean out ISIS from Iraq. They would have blown it as they went down in defeat.

Gee, wouldnt that be awful if ISIS blows it up?
Obama fears this. Would not look good if millions of folks are
drowned while he is playing golf or sneaking off with Reggie.

Odd that the “Sunni” ISIS didn’t blow the dam at Mosul (and reportedly, all it would take is to shut down some machines that continuously pump concrete into the eroding bedrock), since most of the population downstream is Shiite. Why, it’s almost as if...

I’d wager ISIS already has the damn rigged with explosives. Like Saddam did his oil wells.
