So who cut off the water?

Recommendation for emptying Basra...

Set up coalition roadblocks on all exits.

Set up transition camps in Coalition controlled territory.

Put food, water, and culturally appropriate supplies in "transition" camp.

Filter all individuals moving through lines (using recruited locals)

Move through Basra in sectors as you move each group of civilians to the transition camps. Sweep evacuated areas with coalition forces. When sweeps are complete, return civ's to sector (with restored water/utilities).

I don't understand the problem, all they have to do is pray to Allah and it will rain...

About a week ago on another thread I commented that if Palestinians wanted to be a state they should act like a state, but I went on to say I wasn't convinced they could even run a sewer system.

About that last part - I thought I was just joking!

Cripes, who does their thinking over there....

I believe the"engineer" is now teaching them all how to do a rain dance.

Perhaps Mohammed can turn sand into water.

I saw the new water rigging. It consists of a 6 inch Polyvinyl Chloride pipe (PVC). This pipe has one end in the center of the city, where the city dwellers can get what they need. The pipe runs for 300 meters where it connects to the British/American urinals.

Ok this is mean, I'm just kidding, sheesh, sorry..
