#5 phil b, my thought exactly.

If they've gotten to the beat feet stage the next one is the short drop to a sudden stop.

Gee, then we can have another raving Islamic nut job country. Israel is really between the rock and the hard place.

Wonder how many of those "freedom" types will get elected this time? 'bout the same as Egypt?

#10 I fear for the Islamic countries surrounding Israel as they are organizing their own destruction.
Do I feel any sympathy for them? Not one bit.

#12 Baby Assad needed to R-U-N-N-O-F-T quite a while ago, so now he and his entourage could get this:

To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
A dull, dark dock, a life-long lock,
A short, sharp shock, a big black block!
To sit in solemn silence in a pestilential prison,
And awaiting the sensation
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
