Good. As long as both sides stay out of it, it could turn into a real Muslim meat grinder which is a good thing. Let them all kill each other off.

But if there is a big direct conflict shaping up between Iraq and the Iraqi Kurd Peshmurga Iraq probably won’t want to see more Kurds, and the Syrian Kurds might be jumping from the pan into the fire so maybe they think it is best to sit tight.

The only American I would send in there is John McCain.

This could be an ominous development into which Juan McCain helped to push us.

I’m convinced if McCain won 2008, he would have gotten us into WWIII with the Russkies.

I’ve been down this road before but many younger people may not recognize the scenery. The Cold War puppet-masters are at work again. What the hell is America’s vital interest in Syria? I feel sorry for the victims of that conflict but it’s not our job to save the world.

I concur whole-heartedly, Bernard Marx; most unfortunately, the first lesson of history is very few people ever trouble themselves to learn the lessons of history.

Aside from Obama, Juan McCain is probably the most dangerous lunatic in America.

Some choice in 2008, huh? As bad as Romney was, he was still light years better than McLame.

True.

We always seem to get the choice “Heads they win, tails we loose”.

Yeah, he’s an American.

He helped push through a bill in Congress that says he and the Obamabastard are Americans even though they were not born in America. He was born in the Canal Zone and Obama was hatched, well, who knows?
