No surprises, Zero, just disgust.

Please don’t get me started, Zero.

I haven’t fixed supper yet. I’d like to keep my appetite intact.

What do you mean by “Gonna be”? They have been for a month or so. ISIS was the predictable outcome of the Obama Doctrine. Give a speech and then don’t do dick. I predict that the Taliban/al Qaeda will overrun Afghanistan before this jackass leaves office. Iraq is done, with the possible exception of the Kurdish parts. You’re doin’ a hell of a job, Barry.

News yesterday was that the Kurds have left the Iraqi parliament (or whatever it’s called). I do expect to see them become an independent Kurdistan. Had Lloyd George forgotten to add them to his ‘list’ for the Versailles treaty signing, they might have become more independent back then.

They had no powerful patrons in Paris and were not yet able to speak for themselves, being too busy with cattle raids, abductions, clan wars and general brigandage, slaughtering Armenians and just surviving.
Beau Sharif drew up a map for a rather vast country that stretched from Armenia down to the Med, including territory being claimed by Armenia and Persia. (Paris: 1919 – M. MacMillan)

Ex-PH2,
I just finished reading that book. A fascinating look at history. I loved it. So many What-Ifs could be written on this time period.
My next read will be “Lawrence In Arabia” Scott Anderson, Anchor Books.

re : The US government

What’s that saying, something about, “I’m from the government. I’m here to help you?”

Tricky Dicky and all those dog turds who engineered the Watergate op, all have the blood of all those people on their hands.

As well as all those bastards that refused to honor our commitments the South.

I trust Uncle Sam about as far as I can shotput Jupiter.
