  1. Putin screwed-up the plan. Leon Panetta, former U.S. Defense Secretary and ex-CIA boss General Michael Hayden both said war with ISIL will be a 30 year war. A delight to the ears of the war profiteers, to be sure. Turkey is the enabler of this “30 year war”. Close tight the Turkish borders and the supply of money, weapons, ammunition, medical care, recruits etc, will end for ISIL ... ISIL would probably be finished within a couple of years.

  2. The arrogance of the MoE hasn't changed one bit.

    I believe his explains a lot.

    Two psychologists, Justin KRUGER from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and David DUNNING from Cornell University, published their study named “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments”

  3. I think racial profiling is just plain wrong ... BUT

    The men who launched a commando attack against unaware civilians in Paris

    were not white men with funny American accents wearing white robes and hoods ... so that rules out the Klu Klux Klan

    were not raggedy black guys wearing skull caps ... so that rules out Boco Haram and Al-Shabaab

    were not some bald headed Asian guys wearing orange robes ... so that rules out Buddhist monks

  4. The "Where life rules everything" slogan seems incompatible with the advert.

    "Where money rules everything" I, think, would be more accurate for the advert.

    BTW ... If you are willing to spend $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 per day you can have an amazing time in almost any country in the world. If I could spend that kind of money on holiday, Thailand wouldn't be at the top of my list of destinations.

  5. For those of us who have family in Europe I think there is serious concern over their safety and one friggn hell of a lot of anger towards the mushy, high rolling aristocratic EU Parliament, Angela Merkel who has appointed herself as the Supreme Leader of the EU and acts on behalf of all of Europe, and Holland who has been Merkel's lap dog. The new illustrious grande EU is one big failure in every aspect.

  6. According to my wife this has been going on a very, very, very long time in all of Asia. Extreme poverty seems to be the root cause.

    I remember reading a news story about an Aussie who raised $2 million with his fake NGO. He posed with little girls in Cambodian villages and claimed he saved them from the sex trade. He was caught and I presume jailed.

    Be careful if you are inclined to donate money for such causes because it is an emotional decision as opposed to a rational decision.

  7. David Cameron ... big shake-up at highest levels of BBC ... reporting seems to have changed to focusing on Tory agenda in different areas.

    Example ... ONLY sympathy stories on illegal migrants in Calais and the nearly one million pouring into Europe. Zero ... nothing ... on the violence and rapes being committed by migrants on German soil or the rejection of women medical staff, or the warnings for German girls to keep themselves covered. BBC's version is all heart breaking tear-jerking stories of family refugees ... giving the impression all the people coming from the Middle East are poor displaced mommies, daddies and children. Even Panorama lost their credibility.

    Example ... Cameron posturing to kick ass if the EU does not negotiate while really supporting the EU agenda.

    It is absurdity.
