"You won't be able to reserve a room ahead of time with any of the major online sites if you want to stay at Mosul's Ninawa International Hotel. Orbitz announces it doesn't support bookings anywhere in Iraq, and Booking.com without explanation reverts immediately to the original search page when you enter "Mosul, Iraq." But old TripAdvisor reviews say it is well worth the stay—or certainly was before the jihadis stormed into town last year. No doubt if you motor there from Baghdad or Erbil, braving frontlines, dodging airstrikes, navigating Shia militias, and talking your way through checkpoints manned by crazed abduction-minded jihadis, you should find a warm welcome with open—or possibly cocked—arms at this five-star palace in Iraq's bustling, second-largest city…" See here link YouTube link - Honey!… remember you want some "wild" vacations this year…?! Well… I have the perfect place!… (smile) Amicalement Armand |

I had one that I self censored earlier. It has been a long time since, and probably will be a very long time until, anything in this region can be anything like a laughing matter… except for those videos of some "freedom fighter's" AK falling apart while he's firing it, or some cheepie rocket fizzling, or an RPG shot where the G just clears the launcher and clatters around on the ground while everybody runs for it, but it turns out to be a dud. Those are priceless. |

I suspect the Five Star rating should be changed to a Five Scimitars one. |
