NEWS: Hey, Iraq, How Would You Like a Devastating Flood?

what on earth must it be like to live in the path of that potentiality? i mean, how well informed do you think the citizens are in that area?

Thankfully, we don't have any arrogant leaders doing stupid shit here in the US.

Agreed. I will be in Iraq starting May of next year I'm not sure where I will be, but hopefully as far away from Mosul as possible. KThXBye

Someone's about to lose their nose.

Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown.

wow that is so intense,and dont people there live in underground dwellings right ive saw iraq tv , where there decende staires into homes and such ?thats gonna be a mess

Well, this could go badly for Iraqis; that much is true. But I wonder what effect this little news tidbit would have on the upcoming American elections... "Hi, the third largest city in Iraq is about to be destroyed. What do you do?"

We don't need yet ANOTHER reason for our troops to be out there cleaning up Saddam's shitstorm. But it's so hard to ignore the facts. We would have to stay and fix the dam/clean up the mess for the next 10-20 years... and that is not going to sit well with people.
