Islamic State (ISIS) group jihadists have closed the gates of a dam in the Iraqi city of Ramadi which they seized last month, posing a humanitarian and security threat, officials said Tuesday.
ISIS fighters have repeatedly attempted to control dams in Iraq, in some cases reducing the flow of water to areas under government control or flooding swathes of land to impede military operations, reports AFP.
Anbar provincial council chief Sabah Karhout said ISIS "closed all the gates" at a dam in Ramadi, capital of Iraq's largest province.
The move lowered the level of the Euphrates River and cut water supplies to the areas of Khaldiyah and Habbaniyah to the east, which are some of the last held by pro-government forces in Anbar.
The lower water level has also made it easier for ISIS to carry out attacks, Karhout said.
He called for the dam to either be quickly retaken or targeted in an air strike.

You caught Obama’s attention when you mentioned blow.

...”And the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”...~ Rev. 16:12
Sarge...you and I are on the same wave length in that regard. First thing that came to mind when I read the title of this thread.
ISIS damming the Euphrates just shows what is possible to make the way of the Kings of the East...like China even.
Very interesting isn’t it?
I think more than a few of us are on that as well...very interesting.
The symbolical meaning of the Euphrates has been touched upon before. In the great age-long struggle between the kingdoms of Christ and the world the Euphrates represents the great separating boundary between the two kingdoms, as the literal Euphrates formed the barrier between Israel and the hostile northern and eastern kingdoms... It is the great impediment to war. ......The “kings of the east” (or of the sun-rising) represent the forces of rude and open evil which have been long restrained.... As the four barbarian and tyrant kings (Genesis 14:1-24) from the East invaded the land of promise in Abraham’s days, so the leaders of open and violent hate of right, purity, and Christ, have the way of their advance prepared.

ø’s fault.
If so, ISIS is going to get a load of Iranians on their ass pretty soon.
LOL!
This has gotten really interesting.
How long before it's ready, anyway?
And Hussein better not even think about giving them a Federal Grant....
Last time they were playing around with dam’s they were trying to blow one up (couple years ago maybe?).
Yeah, I thought I remember reading about this story somewhere. So I guess we’ll just wait for the 200 million man invasion as soon as the Chinese get pissed off enough.
Right - VJ all the way...
It’s getting very interesting indeed.
Well, it worked for the Medes and the Persians.
