There is know dry heat around the jungles of Iraq. I loved the days we were in the desert and had comfortable nights.

Its normally close to 120 this time of year in Phoenix, we have just been VERY lucky this summer. Anyways now is when he should go all in with drone strikes on ISIS and do some mass bombing of their oil fields. Cutting off their money fountains and adding fires and smoke to their heat would be awesome! You know Trump would be all over it.....

No wonder those people believe in Hell. They live in it.

It's definitely hit over there. Went over there several times.
My first trip to the Middle East was Kuwait in 1996. It was hot as frick. The only water we had was pallets of water bottles and no ice. The only way you could tolerate drinking that got arse water was to soak a wool sick in water and wrap it over the bottle. That way it would at least get under 100 degrees to drink it.

Baghdad is humid as frick. There are two big arse rivers all around it. Not south LA humid, but it's on par with Central LA.

Atlanta RIGHT NOW, is definitely on par.

I spent two years in that shite. We had snow in Feb. of 2005 in Baquaba.

We used to take a sock and get it wet and put water bottles in them, then tie it to the side mirrors and after 10-15 minutes it didn't feel like we were drinking lava anymore.

I always though those frickers were just thirsty. They need some Gatorade dropped on them.

Doesn't affect me. Don't care.

Alot of people downvoting me for my comment. I´ve been in every Persian Gulf country and alot of Northeastern Africa (apart from West Africa, which is worse, in my opinion), the comment about Atlanta still stands....
Yáll are from Louisiana, I think people just want to show they´ve been places (I´ve only been to New Orleans for Sugar Bowls, but KNOW it´s at least as hot as Atlanta or worse).
