#1 Area familiarity: (spellings vary) there are three main roads entering from Syria in the northern sector of the Syrian border. Tall 'Afar is on the most southern route. About 35 miles from the border is Sinjar, another 35 is Tall 'Afar, then another 40 is Mosul. The middle route has the town of Al Huqnah, then it intersects with the southern route in the approach to Mosul. There are two cities on the northern route, Zakho and Dihok. We should expect to hear more about these cities in the future. There are only three other cities on the major southern sector of the Syrian border: Al Qaim, leading to Al Haqlaniyah; and Akashat.

#2 Why is it that the hospitals always report mostly women and children as being injured or killed? Are there never any men around when all this fighting starts, on the iraqi side that is?
