Things are “Whoa there” bad. Looks like at least 1000 Iraqi soldiers died yesterday.
Expat, events here may influence the market tomorrow. According to the Daily Mail, ISIS is within one - two miles of Baghdad with ferocious fighting taking place. Hopefully the bad news is exaggerated.

Well, those photos are getting faded. We probably need to get them updated.
Once again, Washington loses the war our military won.

Don’t fool yourself. Thousands have already died and tens of thousands more are already crippled for a big NOTHING!

They died for nothing, whether this is allowed or not.
If any Westerners are alive to write history in the 22nd century, they will marvel at the fact that, after we were attacked by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, that we retaliated by attacking Iraq and Afghanistan.
