Ah, C’mon, THINK——how the bleep are we going to get the goat humpers into a SHOWER. They’re still skeered of flush terlets.

If I were the US military I would not want to give ISIS time to wire the dam with explosives. This is a hugely important water and electric dam. The disasterous effects would suck us even much more than we already are with rescues and rebuilding not to mention still trying to get rid of ISIS.

My understanding is that destroying the dam would destroy Mosul, which they still hold, as well as Baghdad, which they hope to seize.

It will take more than "strategic" airstrikes in the war against Islamists.
