    AN IRAQ GEOGRAPHY LESSON
    Many of you are not too concerned about where soldiers’ lives have been lost. After all, the fact that a life was lost at all is tragedy enough. But for people like myself who take great interest in “the bloody details”, the place of death takes on great importance. I make it a point to be sure I understand at least approximately where each death occurred. It’s a good way to spot trends in the action. Unfortunately, relying on the DOD and CENTCOM for accurate details in this regard can be a lost cause, as Yazid from Austria and I have been discussing this past week. Take this example. CENTCOM reported on Aug. 26th that a soldier died in an attack on a convoy that day “near the town of Hamariyah And the press faithfully regurgitated that fact. But try to find “Hamariyah” on a map of Iraq. Having trouble? Yazid managed to dig up a “Hamaria” just south of Kirkuk … while I had no luck at all. So I began a search of the media reports. And luckily I stumbled upon two press items that mentioned “Hamariyah’s” location as being 16 miles (25 km) northwest of Baghdad. Eagerly, I returned to my maps. 16 miles northwest of Baghdad … hmmmm … no Hamariyah. There was, however, a “ Hamamiyat ”. Great.

    Geography of Iraq
    Iraq Map Iraq is bordered by Kuwait Iran Turkey Syria ... Jordan , and Saudi Arabia . The country slopes from mountains over 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.) above sea level along the border with Iran and Turkey to the remnants of sea-level, reedy marshes in the southeast. Much of the land is desert or wasteland. The mountains in the northeast are an extension of the alpine system that runs eastward from the Balkans into southern Turkey , northern Iraq, Iran , and Afghanistan , terminating in the Himalayas. Average temperatures range from higher than 48 degrees C (120 degrees F) in July and August to below freezing in January. Most of the rainfall occurs from December through April and averages between 10 and 18 centimeters (4-7 in.) annually. The mountainous region of northern Iraq receives appreciably more precipitation than the central or southern desert region. Location: Middle East , bordering the Persian Gulf , between Iran and Kuwait Map references: Middle East Geographic coordinates: 33 00 N, 44 00 E
