BBC News - Kurdish forces 'retake Mosul dam' from IS militants
Kurdish forces in northern Iraq are in near complete control of Iraq's largest dam after ousting Islamic State (IS) militants, Kurdish officials say.
Kurdish ground forces supported by US air strikes launched the operation to take Mosul dam on Sunday morning.
Kurdish sources said they were still trying to clear mines and booby traps from the area round the dam, a process which could take several hours.
The strategically important facility was seized by IS militants on 7 August.
It supplies water and electricity to northern Iraq and there had been fears the IS militants could use it to flood areas downstream.
According to "Kurdish officials", "Kurdish forces" took the facility. "Kurdish sources" reported on "Kurdish" efforts to secure it. Think on that.
Not Iraqi, not Turkish, but Kurdish. And they were supported by U.S. airstrikes.
As we now know, ISIS was trained, funded, and equipped in no small part by the U.S. Of course, in our ignorance, many of us--even my fellow lybyryls--expressed our outrage. How could President Obama do something like this? How could he fund America's and Israel's enemies, how could he support these butchers of strong, independent womyn?
It seems, however, that it was all part of the plan. The U.S. withdraws from Iraq, ISIS rushes in, takes over territory in northern Iraq (where most of the Kurds in Iraq live), and suddenly, here come the Kurds to drive out ISIS, with a little help from their American allies.
This entire episode in the Middle East has been a social justice crusade by our infallible leader, President Obama, to create an independent Kurdistan in the Middle East. Iraq would've never allowed it, so instead, a threat to Iraqi security was created that only the Kurds have been able to defeat, mysteriously succeeding where the U.S.-trained Iraqi military has failed. There now exists in Iraq at least one key structure entirely under the control of Kurdish militants--good militants, the kind friendly the American and Israeli interests.
I predict that this trend will continue, and we will see the establishment of an independent Kurdistan in the near future. We have only President Obama, our legal lord and secular savior, to thank for such an amazing humyn ryghts development.
Cocaine is hell of a drug ain't it? Our legal lord and secular savior? WTF?
