#1 However, experts questioned whether the Russian briefing was primarily a propaganda stunt designed to irritate Turkey, whose government is a leading opponent of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.

#2 How can that knowitall from King's College dismiss all of this video as another example of how the Russian MoD is lying?

Kinda hard to refute video tape.

Of course if he is a typical liberal, he's like the cardinal looking through Galileo's telescope and refusing to admit to seeing moons around Jupiter.

#3 I cut the Cardinal a little slack, I figure he mighta be seriously myopic, like James Thurber.

So we tried it with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only one of them did I see anything but blackness or the familiar lacteal opacity, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, a variegated constellation of flecks, specks, and dots. These I hastily drew. The instructor, noting my activity, came from an adjoining desk, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. "What's that?" he demanded, with a hint of squeal in his voice. "That's what I saw," I said. "You didn't, you didn't, you didn't!" he screamed, losing control of his temper instantly, and he bent over and squinted into the microscope. His head snapped up. "That's your eye!" he shouted. "You've fixed the lens so that it reflects! You've drawn your eye!"

#5 And Obama let this go on for more than a year without doing a thing to stop it. The funds ISIS received helped kill thousands, and their blood is on Obama's hands. We don't have a schizophrenic foreign policy, we lack a foreign policy. Period.

#6 No, Clyde #5, "we" (Bambi et al.) do have a foreign policy:

Shaft our traditional/Western friends and help our enemies destroy all of Western Civilization.

#7 For the Obama foreign policy, also see Islamic foreign policy.
