ISIS goes on to take Baiji and Tikrit, advances south to Samarra but so far government forces have held on there. I haven't seen anybody mention that Mosul is the site of a major hydroelectric dam, which has been seen as unsafe by some and is in need of constant maintenance. If the dam were to fail, Baghdad would be inundated. Just sayin'.
Not visited this site in a long while.
Great to see its still going.
Its all going to shit in Iraq big time.And things ain't so good in Ukraine either.
