Cut a deal with Iran and Syria??????

I wish I told you I understood it myself. Iran and Syria don't deserve the time of day. But this is the Baker/Hamilton line...I hope the President stands his ground...

I wonder what the Iraqis think about us cutting a deal about their future with Syria and Iran. LOL. If the Iraqis are not parties to such discussions, they will go nowhere and could work against us. Dumb idea. Having lived seven years in the Middle East, I follow Kipling's dictum,

"A Fool Lies Here..."

Now it is not good

For the Christian’s health

To hustle the Aryan brown,

For the Christian riles

And the Aryan smiles

And he wearth the Christian down;

And the end of the fight

Is tombstone white

With the name of the late deceased,

And the epitaph drear,

“A fool lies here

Who tried to hustle the East."

— Rudyard Kipling
