And if you believe any of this media garbage I have a bridge I will sell you...

The U.S. hasn't said poop and isn't going to...they haven't done anything except spend money on something that has been a lie from the beginning...and Putin isn't taking the time out of his day to even look, let alone listen to anything obuma has to say or do...he'll squash him like the snake he is under his boot....

Russia is getting intelligence from Net.

France is making noises about joining in. We’ll see.

I think the only nations firmly in the Washington D.C. orbit on this are Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Or... Are the United States and Turkey in Saudi Arabia’s orbit?

You know they won’t. Islamic State is a creation of Obama’s as an offshoot of Arab Spring. It was to do in Syria what Arab Spring did in Egypt.

To Putin, Dorkbama the Muslim is a fly that loves to find excrement and wallow in it.

To us, Putin is correct.

Because we created ISIS and armed them.

Notice the use of “ISIL” instead of “ISIS.”
