[The temptation in the Obama White House will be to not let this crisis “go to waste”.]

Like I say, I’m wearing my tinfoil hat all the way until at least the morning of January 21, 2017.

I believe reputable news sources have said it was an off-duty police officer who clearly has sympathies with the Syrian opposition.

Black eye for Turkey today, but I don’t know how much worse anything will become given the horrible situation already in the region and Syria. FWIW - I don’t expect Trump to continue Obama’s feckless policies in the Middle East. He has indicated multiple times to anyone who listens that his goal is to defeat ISIS. Period.

I don’t understand your sentence. The US public wants our own army to be obliterated? I must have missed something.

Note the round coming out of his left chest. If the heart is not pumping the blood does not flow.

If you look at the video the shooter has had some training. He was not a stranger to hitting what he aimed at.

Exactly. On all points. As someone said, I hope Juan McCain didn’t have “friends” attached to this.

I’m sure the kook McCain is giddy today. He’ll have his mug all over next Sunday’s talk shows, no doubt.

LOL. Close second! But his armament was too light for that.

The Russians, unlike Obama, don't take kindly to its Ambassadors being assassinated.

I didn’t phrase it well. The US public does not know that the Syrian ‘rebels’ are a proxy army being funded by us. They think we are fighting the very people we are funding. If they knew, they would want them obliterated.

And he is wrong about that too. There is still a steel fence standing and some leave less trees are still standing.

[I think that Putin knows that he is engaged in a proxy war with the United States in Syria]

That’s exactly what the Manchurian Candidate and the Hildabeast (going back to Libya) have gotten the U.S.A. into and the idiot liberals can’t figure it out.

Yep - someone either related or a friend was lost and they got him in close or he used his contacts to do so.

I dare say the next 32 days will be interesting (including today).

I have my reasons but I generally keep it private right now.

Let’s see what unfolds. I still recommend folks pray, read their Scripture and prep to some degree, if possible.

Give him time. He just has to organize what’s left of the rabble-rouser community to riot and destroy.

Exactly...a handsome and well-dressed kid with what appears as good trigger discipline, too.
