That's been Saddam's plan. Blow the dams once our forces are on both side of the river at the gap. It would be devastating, but I'm confident that problem has been dealt with.

I believe it was the second day I was watching CNN, the reporters had their camera trained on somewhere between 10 & 15 Iraqi soldiers laying a wire across the road in Mosul under the Saddam dam over the Tigris. Above there were 2 Kurdis guards attending the entrance of the dam and also there were 3 or more Iraquis dressed in business suits. I could not tell whether the 2 Kurds were afraid or just being friendly, but it looked as though they were not in control. However CNN reporter left and I never heard anymore about it. Until later that day and either read about or heard about the threat to blow up a dam.
