        @brett_mcgurk -- "Iraqi and Kurdish forces!" The Kurds might read this as a hint of US recognition of their independence fron #Iraq.

        @AmJohnny_ How long do you think it would take to secure Balad? I'd say a 2-week operation could easily do it.

        @RisingTruth1 Tough to say how long it would take to secure. Depends on locals and strategy . If like Jurf Al Sahkr may take a while.
