Hey Golem~

Don'cha wonder how I know so much about Dennis? He used to blog on Greta's under the pseudonym "bARACH." He gave himself away by quoting his many pieces he wrote on his blog. He thinks he's bad ass hot shiiit because he gets flown around in a G650.

This is amazing. Must see.
The government sat on its hands (if not tacitly complicit) during the formation of ISIS. They knew...

We will always have groups like ISIS/ISIL. They may have different names and come from different countries(even our own). But there will always be some groups that wants to own the world and/or impose their way upon it.

Yes but do we have to arm and finance them?

“… there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist Principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).”

We really should see to it that the Kurds get their own country. They would clean out all the ISIL filth there in northern Iraq. We just need to get Turkey to go along with it, but that could be accomplished by offering Kurds in Turkey resettlement bounties to move to Kurdistan. I imagine the Iraqi Shia government would not be all that unhappy to see them go.

Because while the Iraqi Army is just about worthless, in terms of not deserting at the first sign of combat, the Peshmurga kick ass. We should give them all the guns, ammo, RPGs, etc. they need. They'll get the job done in Northern Iraq.

If EVER there was a country that deserved to exist in that region it's Kurdistan.

Absolutely. And Dairygold makes the best gul dern Large Kurd cottage cheese I have ever eaten. Smooth and silky. Seriously delicious.

Because of that alone they deserve their own country.

Yet they would need the acquiescence of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Each lopping off some of their territory. Not to mention some oil wells here and there. That seems to be a far fetched idea in these turbulent times.


Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Dairygold sucks ass. mad They put carrageenan into their whipped cream, half-and-half, sour cream, and egg nog. Yeah...seaweed is so "natural" to dairy products. They wouldn't have to put carrageenan into their products if they actually used good ingredients.

...but I digress. Back to topic. smile
