#3 I share this strategy in hopes that it will work in the Middle East also! I stopped one of the world's largest terror organizations in Texas with a 2x4 all they need to do is figure out how to use one calling all carpenters!

#6 There's this delightful Finnish word Pilkunnussija which could be used in this thread. But I will desist, in order to dodge the ban hammer. :)

#7 There seems to be rumors of both an alliance of ISIL and Al Nusra, and also the rejection of US assistance by Iraq.

#8 Been support those doing work in Jordan to prepare for this since mid last year. The Jordanians figured this might happen when the initial ISIS incursions were basically ignored by Obama, and Iraqi Shia under Maliki used it as an excuse to beat up Sunnis.

Jordan's military is as ready as they could be thanks to good prep, foresight, and US Contractors and US military training liaison officers and NCOs that have been silently working their asses off for the past year.

#9 Word has it that Maliki has rejected Lurch's call for a reconciliation government.

Tamerlane killed almost the entire population of Baghdad and left pyramids of heads 50-feet high at each of the cardinal points on the perimeter of the dead city. The Tigris ran black with the ink from manuscripts from the University of Baghdad thrown into the river.

I wonder if we are about to see a re-run of that massacre...unfortunately for Iraq and Muslims in general, there are going to be no winners in this one. Whoever thinks they won will actually be gaining control of a desolation and ruined society.

That's what happens when you fight over the succession to the prophet for 1200 years and there are no descendants to succeed him and haven't been for 1200 years...that never made sense to me...and it didn't make sense to any of my Libyan friends either.

Wid another 100,000 Shia Muslim Indians pledging support - the tote of 125,000 is only part of approxi 50.0Milyuhn Shia Muslims in India.

As I've been telling locals here on Guam, its no longer the US_vs-China in Asia -Pacific, but the US-vs-China-vs-Islam/Nuclear-Islam - iff its NOT Rising China that takes over Guam-WESTPAC iff the US pulls out, it will be Soon-to-be-Nuclear Islam or Nuclear Islam, which went Nukulaar ironically wid Western = JudeoChristian help + approval.

But I digress ... ...
