The effort to prevent a failure of the dam has been complicated by behind-the-scenes wrangling between Iraqi and U.S. officials over the severity of the problem and how much money should be allocated to fix it.

Apparently twiddling thumbs and red tape are working pretty fast as is.

The largest dam in Iraq is in serious danger of an imminent collapse that could unleash a trillion-gallon wave of water, possibly killing thousands of people and flooding two of the largest cities in the country, according to new assessments by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other U.S. officials.

This fall... from the men who brought you the New Orleans levy system... comes a new wave of terror...

Come on guys, the US Army would never neglect a dam until it burst, flooding a densely populated area.

So if the US Corps of Engineers fails to fix the Dam and 500,000 Iraqis die does that mean we win the war?

God I hope so. I bet they would still keep the troops there to keep the peace amongst all the different types of sand.

"Yeah, I was in the US Army. Killed over a half-million of the enemy."
"Wow, what did you do? Artillery? Tank? Did you fire nuclear missiles?"
"Nope. I was in the Corp of Engineers. Baddest branch of the military."

The damn breaking is part of our plan to use our Deep Blue Sea sharks on the Iraqis. Read the last part of this article.

Also the Army Core of Engineers had been telling whoever they let run New Orleans that soon as a big storm hit, they would fail. This was pretty much common knowledge around this area. And I live 3 hours from NO in another state.

(A) The above has been tongue-in-cheek.
(B) The US Army Corp of Engineers has had ultimate (although not sole) authority over our nation's dams and levies since 1917 through the Flood Control Act. No matter who they passed off various operations to, the levies' upkeep was the US ACoE's ball to drop.
