#1 This comes under the category of "baby steps."

al-Qayyarah is a town on the bank of the Tigris 30 miles south of Mosul. Taking "villages east of Qayyarah" means on the other side of the Tigris.

Until Iraqis take much land west of the Tigris, none of this means much.

#2 Frozen Al, there isn't any longer such a thing as Iraqis.
