Damn Dam
Reader comment on item: Saddam's Damn Dam [i.e., The Mosul Dam]

Submitted by E. N. Mayfield, Jr. (United States), Nov 9, 2007 at 02:30

The dam situation isn't surprising, really. Just typical of third-world practices. Couldn't happen to a nicer country, though! And, another good reason for us to get out as soon as possible - no reason to drown Americans along with the Iraqis.
