3. Thank you!! Is that dotted line the Syrian border? n/t

14. I believe it is

It is a boarder town, must be a small villiage, doesn't show up on MapPoint

It is somewhere btwn 185 and 200 miles northwest of Bahgdad, depending on the source, which puts it around 10 miles from the Syrian boarder.

9. Not Karbala though -- Karabilah.

Or Al Karabilah. The first map you posted shows it.

10. I was kidding, really.

But you're right - it probably does bunk up modem connections.

(So? - it's a great map... in every sense.)

5. Karabilah is different from Karbala.

Karabilah is where the fighting near Syria is happening -- I wanted to see just how close it was to the border.

11. Well I googled Karbala an nothing was found.

Maybe you're info was wrong.

12. No, Karabilah is correct.

KARABILAH, Iraq - Helicopter gunships and fighter jets streaked across the desert sky Saturday as American and Iraqi forces battled insurgents near the Syrian border, killing at least 50 militants in two massive offensives to stanch the flow of foreign fighters from
Iraq's western neighbor.

(snip)

Dozens of buildings in Karabilah were destroyed after airstrikes and shelling, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene.

"The goal is not to seize territory," said Marine Col. Stephen Davis, of New Rochelle, N.Y. "This is about going in and finding the insurgents."

Karabilah's streets were empty, and the military said about 100 people fled the town. At one home, a family gathered on their porch, hanging a white flag from the roof to signal U.S. jets not to bomb their home.
