I remember after toppling Hussein the repairs & upgrade of Haditha Dam for greater electric production. And when we left it was running to 80+% of capacity. I know water is scarce but wonder what happened. The Haditha Dam or Qadisiya Dam is an earth-fill dam on the Euphrates, north of Haditha, creating Lake Qadisiyah. The dam is just over 9 kilometres long and 57 metres high. The purpose of the dam is to generate hydroelectricity, regulate the flow of the Euphrates and provide water for irrigation. It is the second-largest hydroelectric contributor to the power system in Iraq behind the Mosul Dam.

I cannot imagine sweating blood. Given human, the intensity of knowing already what was coming purely from pain, agony and death. Even though He is God, and overcame death, the reality and pain real. Amazing His love for us and something I won't fully understand or appreciate until home.

ron - thought I read somewhere that Iraq has some big time gold deposits too. Or maybe I'm hallucinating again - JK 😬🙃🙂

bigwave - if we as christians are going to get right down to it, we shouldn't celebrate christmas either. Both christmas and easter are celebrated on pagan holidays and with pagan origins. Not going to fuss over this, because NO ONE knows actual date but God - this to me is one of those things that rip believers apart. All I need to know is Christ crucified, arisen, died for my sins. And that He loves me enough to save me and give His life. Rest is window dressing and here's where satan gets his oar in the boat and causes problems. He successfully has us fighting over this. No poke at you for posting. As long as it is the truth, that's what matters.

ronscarpa - allegedly the attack on Russia now this is US driven: https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=706779&post_id=142943226&utm_source=post-email-title&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=1frx1e&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo4Njk2Mjk0NiwicG9zdF9pZCI6MTQyOTQzMjI2LCJpYXQiOjE3MTEzODE1MDcsImV4cCI6MTcxMzk3MzUwNywiaXNzIjoicHViLTcwNjc3OSIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.vO1goIpqHwFDNkCMAtPfv-6Kv4l3TNuSNVYPa0UOghc Al-Qaeda was created by Western intelligence to fight the Russians, and has been used as a catalyst for illegal wars and tyrannical laws ever since. Greg Reese Mar 25 Over a hundred people were murdered in Russia on Friday. Including women and children. Eleven terrorists were captured by Russian authorities as they attempted to cross the border into Ukraine. They are being interrogated and all roads lead to the US State department, who have been directing Ukrainian forces since their 2014 coup. The attack occurred on March 22nd, or 3/22. 322 is the mysterious number used by Yale’s infamous Skull and Bones society. The official story is that 322 symbolizes the year 322BC to memorialize the event seen as the turning point which transformed Athens from a democracy to a plutocracy. A plutocracy is a society that is ruled by no other political philosophy other than the financial elite being in control of the people’s destiny. The Skull and Bones is a grooming academy for the CIA. Such as, former director of the CIA, George Bush. And 322 is there calling card. During the Tucker Carlson interview, President Putin was clearly speaking to the CIA. The CIA responded in a New York Times Article admitting that they are using Ukraine as a proxy to wage war against Russia. Weeks before the attack, Victoria Nuland repeatedly boasted that Putin was in for a nasty surprise. On March 7th, the US Embassy issued a warning about the threat of terrorist attacks in Moscow, specifying ‘concerts.’ The British Embassy in Moscow mirrored this warning. Days before the attack, Barack Obama paid an unexpected visit to the British Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street. Within hours of the attack and without any evidence, the US government blames the attack on the Islamic State and says that Ukraine is not involved. The next day, while Russians were grieving, CIA mouthpiece, The Washington Post, gloated how the US had prior knowledge of the attack, and people still died. It has been noted that the terrorists were either professional assassins or trained by Western forces. For they were demonstrating NATO training methods such as shooting in small bursts, trigger control, and proper mag reloads For anyone with eyes to see, this is the Modus operandi of the West. Al-Qaeda was famously created by Western intelligence agencies to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, and has since been cultivated by the US government and used as a catalyst for illegal wars and tyrannical laws against US citizens Ukraine spy chief said three months ago, expect more attacks deep inside of Russia. Dmitry said that everyone is asking him what to do. He answered that, those who were caught need to be killed. But it’s much more important to kill everyone involved. Everyone who paid, who sympathized, and who helped. Kill them all.

Interesting Russia smacked by ISIS for a change. Given Russian oar in the middle east boat, curious on how this plays out & Russian response.

And "If just all the hunter's and vets united we would have over a 20 million (wo)man army. Lot of lady patriots are armed and not afraid. We're ready.

Too bad US Govt being such jackasses with apologies to jackasses, the USA has a ton of expertise that could be a plus for Iraq & US contractors. Built new airport in Mumbai, worked on Panama Canal, did other projects in Iraq. Could do a lot for that country.

Omgoodness bet the dems are rolling in their graves. Oh wait, they just seem dead.

Been down this road so many times, hard not to - again - not get excited. Thank you Ron.

Tastes like chicken 🐔

😁😆😅🤣😂💚💚💚💚💚

Wee-Gee would be the last one to withhold the 1-800 # because that's not real. 😂🤣😅😆

Wee-Gee, calling "goose poop" same as BS

Plus loss of more beef, prices driven up because of this and eventually govt wants us all eating grass.

I know my fault for reading this stuff - how can they unabashedly and unashamedly produce a rate prediction daily and people flock to them. Talk about choosing to be blinded.

Sadly USA on life support and we're not improving.

Eeeeewww TMI "While public statements may have diminished after he won the presidency, according to Rogers, Biden was not shy about acknowledging the importance of intimacy in marriage, much to his wife's "dismay."

Wee-Gee: good stuff, thx for finding - WTO I'd expect will pressure Iraq to get its financial ducks in line - with all that Iraq has to offer with new construction- life improvements for its citizens- the growth possibilities the sky is the limit - but for its money value. And tough to loan money when its Iraqi value is TP. Here's hoping, so ready for this ride to be over. 👍🔥

Putin may think the USA troops are pansies but I wouldn't want to run into the buzz saw of the gun totin' US citizens. He would be in for a rude awakening - were not all "woke" and afraid to defend.

And so much more succinctly I might add. 😂🤣😅😆

👍👍👍👍

I come anymore for the great people on this site. Enjoy the reads, the snark, the jokes, the humor. Am addicted to see what's the latest and from whom - some of my best laughs have come from this group. Thank you

Wow! Just wow- so what purpose would Hunter Biden have to shove sawdust or shavings up his nose? Attorneys must think everybody else is dumber than a door post. Get a grip
