#1 hmm... hit all the dictionaries and still no idea wtf is a cultmid, other than a bike thing. It's great learning new words that have no meaning, like our liberals teach us.

#2 Good catch, Bov. Googling the first paragraph got me the same AFP article from another source; it looks like Al Arabiya was hit by a stray gamma ray as they copied the text from the feed. Al Monitor has that sentence as:

"Daesh fighters, both foreign and home-grown, can see that they are targets inside this cult."

#4 Didn't the dear departed ole Saddam spend a butt load of money on each of his palaces constructing these very deep and very hardened bunkers FAR underground beneath the palaces? Didn't some German company get their hands slapped for designing said bunkers and didn't the US go dig up a bunch of drill pipe and construct some kind of jury rigged bunker buster to deal with them?

Or have I gone off the deep end and started those hallucinations again?
