#3 How about we send the $500 rocks to Israel for whatever, and let the muzzies practice scorched earth upon one-another? Why should taxpayers fund weapons and training that will only come back against us at a later date?

Re: "The man is like an elephant..." I believe more like Kelly Bundy. As you may recall, she could only learn something if she forgot something else.

#4 I'd go with "no way." Barring that, put the $500 mil into training and equipping the Kurds, or if that isn't politically palatable, Jordan.

#5 #2 Even a flat worm can learn.

To be Zero, the chiefest criterion
(after being an "out" vegetarian)
Is when vexed by events
To not try to make sense
But to make like a split-head planarian.

#6 A mighty diverse thing, the Hydra!
It don't ever have to decidra,
For it has, when confused,
Far more heads it can use;
If you dis even one, woe betide ya!

#8 a split-head planarian.
I don't recall this phrase being used around here before now. Then again, I learned a new word for fat feet the other day.

#9 And who will do the appropriate vetting...McCain?

And about the rumors of Al Nasra etc. coming to terms with ISIL?

How many clowns are going to crawl out of this car?
