[ This message has been sent to you via the CASI-analysis mailing list ] Sorry if this is a time waster but I really can't let this howler slip by without comment.

The Tigris isnt that close either. A glance at a map is enough to blow this 'argument' away (Fallujah is indeed right next to the Euphrates, not 'over 100 kilometers away'). But then no doubt Tom will be able to produce some equally devastating reason why all the maps in the world are wrong, or why I don't exist or why am part of the conspiracy ...
