Baghdad May Lose Its Drinking Water As ISIS Approaches Second Largest Dam
Against a background of having lost control of all western border crossings, Iraqi officials are concerned that ISIS fighters are advancing on the Haditha Dam, the second-largest in Iraq. With militants pouring in from the north, the northeast and the northwest, The NY Times reports, army officers told employees to stay inside and to be prepared to open the dam’s floodgates if ordered to do so. "This will lead to the flooding of the town and villages and will harm you also," warned one worried employee but this would not be the first time that the Iraqi government and ISIS have engaged in dam warfare, as the closure of the Falluja dam earlier in the year starved areas downstream in the provinces of Najaf and Diwaniya of water needed for crops. The situation is growing more grave as Maliki rejected calls for a caretaker government and has forced Iran's hand to help. Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia noted "the Iranians are playing in a big way in Iraq."
Iraq has lost control of its Western borders...
Beginning on Friday and in a rapid succession, ISIS fighters captured the western border crossings at Qaim, Waleed and Trebil.
Iraqi security officials said Wednesday that fighters for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria were advancing on the Haditha Dam, the second-largest in Iraq.
The militants are coming from the north, the northeast and the northwest. The ISIS fighters had already reached the nearby town of Burwana, on the eastern side of Haditha, and government forces were fighting to halt their advance.
Worried that the insurgents would reach the dam on the Euphrates River, about 120 miles northwest of Baghdad, army officers told employees to stay inside and to be prepared to open the dam’s floodgates if ordered to do so, an employee said.
“This will lead to the flooding of the town and villages and will harm you also,” the dam employee said he told the army officer.
According to the employee, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media, the officer replied: “Yes, I know, it will be against us and our enemies.”
This would not be the first time that the Iraqi government and ISIS have engaged in dam warfare. Earlier this year, when ISIS fighters seized the Falluja Dam, they opened it to flood fields of crops all the way south to the city of Najaf. The water at one point washed east as well, almost reaching Abu Ghraib, just west of Baghdad.
The closure of the dam also starved areas downstream in the provinces of Najaf and Diwaniya of water needed for crops. The dam was reopened after several weeks.
Which has forced Iranian hands...
Iran is directing surveillance drones over Iraq from an airfield in Baghdad and is secretly supplying Iraq with tons of military equipment, supplies and other assistance, American officials said. Tehran has also deployed an intelligence unit there to intercept communications, the officials said.
Gen. Qassim Suleimani, the head of Iran’s paramilitary Quds Force, has visited Iraq at least twice to help Iraqi military advisers plot strategy. And Iran has deployed about a dozen other Quds Force officers to advise Iraqi commanders, and help mobilize more than 2,000 Shiite militiamen from southern Iraq, American officials said.
Iranian transport planes have also been making two daily flights of military equipment and supplies to Baghdad — 70 tons per flight — for Iraqi security forces.
“The Iranians are playing in a big way in Iraq,” Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee, said in an interview.
But Maliki remains resistant to US calls for change...
Separately on Wednesday, Mr. Maliki rejected calls for a caretaker government, as he has before, but it appeared to be a repudiation of the Western leaders who have asked him to agree to share power with Iraq’s Sunnis and Kurds.
In a televised address, he criticized “other parties,” a reference to Sunnis and Kurds, for not doing more to support the government, and he rejected the idea of a caretaker government, which could be formed without his participation.
“Despite what we are suffering through, we haven’t heard from our political partners with any support,” Mr. Maliki said. “They are not partners in facing the crisis but they are partners in spending the wealth of Iraq.”
But apart from that - US equities are rallying on the worst GDP print in years and all media can talk about ius the Aereo decision...mission accomplished

I dont know about the door stuff, these guys can firebomb your house in the dead of night with some Molotov cocktails and shoot you dead as you come out of the burning house. Saw that in a Clint Eastwood film where those two families were duking it out for control of the town. Remember? They even shot the mother when she came out of the burning building. May need a better setup. I was always impressed with the North Caucus towers they used to withstand the Mongol horde invasion. A modern day version of that is pretty sweet and it gives you a great sniping platform

Oh dam!
No worries, Halliburton will just build a new one (eventually).
Isis
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis
"Isis (Ancient Greek: ????, original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset") is a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.[1] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the hawk-headed god of war and protection (although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children." >
In the Egyptian tradition, Isis was the wife of Osiris who was the God of the Dead. She put him back together from the bits and pieces of him that she could find after his brother Set hacked him up. Sadly she could not find his dick. [seriously]. In any event, she hovered over his body and became magically impregnated with their son Horus. Horus lost an eye in the battle but prevailed. Thus the "Eye of Horus".
Earlier she had retrieved him from a foreign country where a casket had lodged after Set tricked Osiris into laying in it and then closed it and threw it in a river.
The Game of Thrones goes back a long long way.
Are you asserting that there is some new age, pagan or otherwise satanic undercurrent with ISIS being named ISIS? IF so this is right up there with people saying that the "Son of God" is actually sun worship ignoring that "Son" and "sun" in hebrew or aramaic are perhaps less similar.
Let's not forget the proper name of ISIS is in fact ad-Dawlat al-Dawlah al-Islamiyah fi al-Iraq wa-al Sham. They state their reason for being in the name Iraq being Iraq and Sham being historically greater syria.
So maybe it is a construct of some satanic western cabal who couldn't wedge semiramis, europa or nimrod into the name, or maybe it's just nothing..
This reminds me of the "Blinded by the Light, Wrapped Up Like Duece/Douche" debate. There is something to this.
That's funny. I heard it was" "revved-up like a deuce, another runner in the night." but who can really say for certain?
While the MSM and western politicos are incorrectly calling it ISIS - easy branding with the Egyptian goddess - the correct letters are ISIL - because the actual reference in the Arabic is the Levant, and not to just Syria.
If you understand the true name of the group, its objectives go far beyond Iraq and Syria - it includes Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, the Sinai, Jordan, part of southern Turkey (Aleppo Vilayet), and Cyprus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levant
These people are not the rag-tag "ragheads" that Kerry et al. want to propagandize them as being. They are a sophisticated, rich (after looting $400-million in Mosel, among other war prizes), highly disciplined, hard-core Sunni religious cult that Saudi Arabia, and Qatar financed; the US, being as ignorant as a stick, helped out too with obviously no knowledge of what the group really wants.
The US Deep State (USDS) really is a collection of fools.
Add to that the fact that the USDS actually believes they can control everything, when in fact it is overwhelmingly obvious they can control nothing. Start the mess- yes. Control where it goes - no.
If in fact Israel is in on funding ISIL (stop using the ignorant ISIS), then this will go down as a fatal error. What you saw them do to Shiites is nothing compared to what they will do to Jews.
-30-
They had plenty of money from the house of saud before this and will after. I personally think the concept of them somehow looting half a billion in hard currency and gold bullion is bullshit. Again, another part of the fairy tale. Like this part.
Some might call it perhaps, predictive programming.

No, they might be implying that the whole thing is a sick Joke TPTB. Al Quadia means the base by the way, which is also slang for toilet.
Now the new bad dudes are referenced as ISIS, and the new bad guy we got to be scared of is called Al Bahgdadi...just LOL you can't make this stuff up. Maybe the next bad guys will be called Sindibad, or hell why not Jason and the Argonauts.

ISIS was HOT
So Iran is now bailing out Iraq in fighting the terrrists that the USA created?
You couldn't make this shit up in a trailer park.
Maybe we could do a Maury DNA test show when they DNA test ISIS and all the countries sit and wait for the results on who is the father of this bastard child?

There is little wonder why guys like me ( and probably you and all of us writ large ) are considered insane. Because it is batshit fucking crazy, but true.
@
"ISIS soldiers captured with IDF military IDs"--Iranian News Service. Details after Prayers.
RAF Squadron 617, roll out the barrel.
Bingo. And the able handmaidens here are just peddling the narrative.
Syrian airstrikes...everyone knows the Iraqis only have two Cessnas. If Turkey, Iran or anyone else does...
This far it has been but if that dam breaks from an airstrike it certainly won't be Syria. I expect the SAF will be limited to fucking up convoys of ISIS dildos coming to or from Syria.
To recap generally again, the IDEA that ISIS who is locked in fierce battles in Syria with EVERYONE could peel off, and start a second front taking over Iraq all on their own is pure fantasy, as propagated apparently in the MSM and on certain other websites.
Which means there is a much deeper play underway which serve the interests of those who created ISIS/ISIL and now instruct the MSM on which narrative to sell to the public. Not a lot of MSM digging into the origins of these Jihadis going on.
Things are going to get real ugly...
I was pondering just that. Recall the news went from "brutal terrorists even too extreme for al quaeda" to Sunni Shia sectarian strife caused by Maliki.
Let us not forget the power that Haditha Dam supplies to surrounding hamlets and cities (Dam Village, Haditha, Haqlaniya, Barwana, etc.). ISIS could run amok in the darkness, as it looks like Saudi Arabia bought them plenty of night vision equipment with dollars that the world sent them for Saudi Oil.
We should be inserting SOF into Riyadh along with Iraq.
Madness has to stop at the source.
does this mean that Ann Margret's not coming?
wait - Iraq has water???
They do, lots of yummy depleted uranium munitions, chemicals and parasites in it too.
Come again?
They do, lots of yummy depleted uranium munitions, chemicals and parasites in it too.
I'll be damned, if those ISIS terrorists aren't a real pain in my damned ass. What's all this talk of opening that damned, dam and cutting off water to Baghdad?
Nouri al-Maliki
I have tried to help him. But I have failed. I have failed because YOU have not helped me. YOU people have not given Private Pyle the proper motivation! [/Full Maliki Jacket]
I'd join the Iraqi Defense Forces if Maliki were to say these words to whatever of our assets is leading ISIS:

Bath House is proof that Jooos fuck camels.
The war is about to spread to IRAN ?
Conflagration in this area will prolong US control for a little while longer.
And yes...Iran is in the X-hairs, soon...
No it won't, Iran will stop them dead in their tracks.

Maybe Boner should sue him. That'll teach him.
Iran's price?
Iranian oil shipped out of Basra terminal and labeled Iraqi. The cash goes to Iran, around the sanctions.
Except in China's or India's case just ignore the sanctions all together...
Say didn't Israel just get a pipeline full of Iraqi oil, thats now under Kurdish control? I'd love to know where that payment was sent to.
Into a Kurdish Government account in a bank in Turkey apparently.
I watched the video. Collaborators are being shot in their homes and Iraqi army and government types being drive-byed.
Trust me, it's like Syria without some of the heaviest weapons.
Baghdad losing its drinking water would cause a major humantiran disaster. I wonder if Iraq (and Iran?) is using this to draw the United States into a war against ISIS and Suni Iraqis.
Syzygy: Ownership, Extortion, & Collusion
Feudalism, breeding on natural resource control, and consumer confidence, talking feudalism up, is the same thing, a biased perception of the past projected upon the future, with media built for the purpose, the status quo process.
Some preferred college graduates make more than most high school graduates, because their purchasing power, credit preference, has fallen less precipitously, which means that you now need a college degree to get a janitor certification. Keep cycling down and expect something other than war across artificial borders.
Absentee owners – public, private and non-profit, in a circle of families, have land locked up, and fracking is better than burning on the way out, because health cannot be grown for generations. By protecting the automaton artificial health industry, they have now exposed the feedback loop between export/import banking and infrastructure spending to examination.
Critters competing to drive up the price of real estate common, as a retirement fund, under a self-biased assumption of scarcity, has locked up productive utility. They must have rent to pat the tax tribute, but the renters are priced out, so RE inflation, compounded into every layer, is eroding purchasing power right up the income chain, globally.
Now, Germany, with relatively low ‘homeownership’ GDP consumption, is entering the black hole, triggering the next round of financial experimentation. Trading natural resources for real estate inflation is a geopolitical consideration, and the circle accepting debt slavery as consideration will not stop shrinking.
A 2% target for inflation is only the stated heat under the pan boiling the frogs. By the time readily available surplus is gone, legacy has replaced evacuating labor with the lower middle class, eliminating the discounting function and triggering the chain reaction. Labor is not a commodity.
Focus on building an opportunity cost algorithm for your life, not to fix the past, but to build the future. By the time the blind leading the blind realize that you have moved the mountain, you have already moved the next two. That’s what makes the economy go, you.
If you can’t work on your car, you don’t own it; it owns you. The garages must collude to maximize extortion tribute, or others will. Under civil law, cartel licensing, the only option is to compensate by applying extortion upstream. If you control credit, cars are a dime a dozen.
If you can read a wiring diagram, make a ladder diagram and read a meter, you can bypass all the extortion but land. You can teach yourself to build, but the bank is going to ensure that you can only rent homeownership, with inflation, monetary and tax tribute policy under FILO. That’s why the old-timer gives you a leasehold reversion.
Disconnect power to the circuit. Replace the motor return line beginning at the service panel and on to the motor return terminal. Always begin at the beginning, the end, always. Then replace the power side, beginning at the motor power terminal, going to one side of a switch. Add final wire from the other side of the switch to power side of service panel.
Add or remove devices/controllers/amps, beginning with a fuse in each sub-circuit, until stable. A thermostat is just a conditional switch, in a feedback loop with a meter. Making a ladder diagram from the wiring diagram helps you to see and test multiple conditions in the circuit.
The economy is very much a circuit, with duration sub-circuits requiring duration resonance, nR equilibrium from the other perspective, and life is work. Begin at the end. You are somewhere between a self-defined (-) and a peer-defined (+) duration sub-circuit event, directing the current by discounting.
The consumers can’t govern themselves, let alone producers, but that never stops them from building a bipolar police state for the purpose, failing to replace the power of imagination every time, with debt assigned to children, stealing their toys on a habitual path of diminishing return.
It rains in Seattle, a lot, and it’s on water, so why do you suppose it controls State water, and is taxing the rain as it comes down? Do really think that landslide, or climate change, is an Act of God?
Developing your unique talent is always the best investment, because it is the best currency, the State majority can’t take it, and you don’t have to defend it. Legacy and the middle class can position themselves anywhere they want. What happens at the end / beginning of the circuit is what matters, and, by no coincidence, is where you will find talent, distilled for the purpose.
What sense does it make to pay someone else 5 or 500 times your income to solve your problem? Corporate personage, peer pressure empire, is just a distillation process, an extension of gravity, which you can adjust at will. “Faith looks for its answers beyond that which is seen” or broadcast, growing experience, instinct.
The Fed is keeping the American middle class slightly above water by collapsing the global middle class, with the very same RE inflation and purchasing power bait and swap, debt slavery, in another dress. You can spend your life ruling out the wrong answer, ruling out the right answer, and billions have. When in doubt, pick a current to swim against, preferably at random, and build your skills.
Where did your city manager go to school? Who does he/she really work for? In case you haven’t noticed, they begin by replacing semi-retired peace officers with more pliable youngsters. The only person you can change is yourself. Be about your business and everything else will take care of itself.
Does it get any more ironic / ignorant than a free Tibet sticker on an Audi sports coupe driven by a By Era moron in a small American town?
Wanna swap clones?
What's the big woop, just print some more.
Maliki is a stupid bitch
And when soccer is being played in the royal courtyard with Maliki's head... the USA MSM will declare it a Obama/Kerry diplomatic success and move on to the latest panty droppin' Nancy Grace byline....

Oh dear, I was so looking forward to an evening in a trendy Baghdad cafe discussing investment opportunities with Capitalist Exploits, now that North Korea's all bid up. Oh well, I guess there's always Somalia.
Damn, investing is hard.
They can move to Kiev..they have water..just not hot water....but that is OK..that just shrinks your berkha
I don't think that the water supply in Baghdad is potable (drinkable). That is common in many middle eastern countries. For example, I would never, ever drink the water in Cairo. I am not certain but I am pretty sure that under the late dictator Saddam Hussein the water was drinkable
not a good time

“The Iranians are playing in a big way in Iraq,” Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee, said in an interview.
Saxby Chambliss. Is there any chance - any at all - that the US is a big player right now? Is there any chance - at all - that there are Israeli boots on the ground in and among "ISIS?"
Chambliss you're a goddamned liar. A lying warmonger shitbag.
Looks like the deprivation of water will go nicely with the over 4,000 dead in the month of June 2014 alone!
Obviously doesn't come close to breaking America's record in March of 2003 when Operation "Shock and Awe" made it's debut 12 years after we decimated them with the Gulf War in 1991 and deprived them of both food and medical supplies in the last half of the 90's taht killed 500,000 alone...
Say when for your redemption America. Before it's too late!
America's killing machine is very efficient!
"Decimated" means to be reduced by 10%.
Is that what you actually meant?
Most all water to Iraq comes via Turkey where the Tigris and Euphrates originate. Syria is closest, so water allocation isn't a problem, yet! Turkey has been building Hydro-plants for years now along the Rivers, with Syria also building. Iraq has no Water, while Iran has no worries whatsoever.
The problem with Iraq is that, they're at the bottom of the food-chain so to speak, when it comes to water allocation dependant on Turkey's mood ( similarly the same holds true for Egypt and the Nile in Sudan).
Under Saddam's terror reign from 1979 to 2003 (25+/+ years of Sunni rule) all the money for Iraqi infrastructure was used to build palaces and feed his crony and his delusional despotic cravings, while the USSA applauded his actions (helped supply the sarin,etc.,) and looked the other way!
Hussein let the waterworks go to hell in Shiite villages and cities throughout the country ( the Kurds didn't have a chance but for the mountainous regions) with 60%-75% being lost through an archaic, dilapidated sewer & water system. All this while the US was actually doing business with Iraq.
Note: This is a tried an true military tactic that the Chinese used in their Civil war if history is any guide!
jmo
Note: Turkey can turn off the water flow if Sryia will go along and this should avert a catastrophe!
again JMO
So, the question to the answer is: How do you draw Iran into a shooting war when they have resisted all prior aggressions by the US and Israel.
... you attack their neighbor and have their neighbor ask for help.
However, now that the US military is on the side of ISIS, not the the government the US left in power, Iran should probably pull out and make the US government look like idiots.
Iran = Russia
Iraq = Ukraine
Too late for that, Obama has made our government look like idiots, and liars, and thieves, incompetents, America haters, terrorists, etc etc etc....

Its a bit unlikely that either side will do anything to endanger the dam. They both have too much to lose, particularily ISIS as Mosul, the first city in the way of the water, is full of their supporters.
I say Boots on the Ground!!! Slap some boots on Bush, Chaney, Wolf-o-shitz, Bremer, and Rumsfeld and drop their asses in there. Now.

the US supports Maliki. we want him to embrace the Sunnis, he wants us to bomb the Sunni rebels attacking the country, (and we want to bomb them too, but the Syrians are already doing that). Iran is a fundamentalist theocracy, defending Iraq against ISIS which seeks a strict Islamic state. the Syrians are just getting even. The Kurds want an independent state, which is opposed by Iran and Turkey, and probably Syria, and certainly the US, GWBush called them the enemy. the US doesn't want ISIS to overthrow Maliki, but we would like to see them overthrow Assad. it was a lot simpler when the only odd man out was Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda was the good old days in US ME foreign policy, we gave them money to fight and die, and keep the war on terror going.

Christ, I'm sick of reading this hyperbole. Are you a returned vet by any chance? I've noticed that a lot of vets seem to have trouble ordering their thoughts. Just try to read all those disjointed paragraphs jumping all over the place with almost no coherent thread.
Well (pun intended), you can say "Eau Reservoir" to Baghdad.
Water warefare is an old Messoptamian war technique.
Xerxes finished off Babylon (at one time the worlds biggest city) by diverting the river Euphrates into it so that it was flooded and the foundations sodden and ruined.
bottled water anyone?
How can these numbskulls not be able to defend strategic targets with a 200,000 man army trained and equipped by Americans? They didn't all turn tail and run did they? I've heard estimates that ISIS has, at most, 10,000 armed fighters. Not all of them are just north of Baghdad.
Is it possible all that training and equipping was a waste of money? (rhetorical question ... sorry)
Iraqis are worthless. Absolutely worthless.
Unless they fight for their Clan/Tribe.

I think the less obvious, and therefore more likely with these guys question is, Who was just at the old chemical weapons plant where there were stores of "not useful as a weapon anymore" chemicals, and how many truck loads are they taking to that reservoir?
I always think "BULLSHIT ALERT!!" whenever I read this line.
Should 'the people' really care about ISIS when a lawless administration is in control of a constitutional republic?
