... now we’ve handed over more and more of our military supplies to the ENEMY.

We had to do something, because all the stuff we left behind the last time is getting too many miles on it.

Can't conquer the world using worn-out stuff.

And it wouldn't look right for a Caliph to be seen riding in a 10-year-old Hummer.

In fairness, Corker, Graham, McCain and most of the clueless GOP delegation, deserve a ton of credit, as well. The situation in Syria has convinced me that a lot of pols, even the GOP ones, have no clue about foreign countries and, as a result, no clue about foreign policy. Between trigger-happy morons on the GOP side and don’t-worry-be-happy morons on the Democratic side, it’s fortunate that we have weak neighbors to the north and south, and oceans to the east and west.

There are no friends among ROP countries. Trusting them is a mistake.

Did they actually fight the Islamists? Or was the entire thing made up? How would we know the difference?

All that news will be followed by the leading breaking story tonight of the paper plate manufacturers adding glue during their plate stacking process so consumers use more paper plates.
