RE: Great. How Many Billions Will This Cost Us?
That dam was sited in a poor location in regards to the subterranean rock there.  The dam has an automatic grouting system (how the hell that works Idunno) and apparently that system is vital to the integrity of the dam, and is also difficult to keep running in the 3rd world shithole that Iraq has become.

And if the dam failed, the shitholiness of what's left of Iraq would be intensified.

I can see how the fucking Mohammedans would find this a desirable outcome.

Mosul Dam is larger than Teton Dam, and we should all recall what happened to that one:

I doubt Trump will have the US pay for shit like this once he is in office.

He'll cut a deal on some Iraqi crude for some DAP sealant.

Win-win.

Side note on Teton Dam:

It was seriously suggested before the dam was completed that automatic cameras be installed around it to document the inevitable failure.  The guvmint scoffed at that idea, and then the dam failed on it's initial filling.

Really! REALLY! Everytime I think the US can't vote in a bigger joke president they seem to find an even bigger arsehole.
The last president excepted.
Trump has the right name, he's loud offensive and something smells off.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

I doubt, it will cost you anything. Well, unless some Haliburton plant or some Exxon oil field happens to be threatened.

Come on, if it's only brown people being endangered, it's not worth supporting.
