Brigade 93 has fallen. That leaves Assad with just one military airbase in Eastern Syrian and nothing else.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

you should post in this thread. This is the one place where your paranoid ramblings about muslims are actually factually correct and rational and reasonable moderate positions.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Seems like Syria is innmore danger than Iraq of falling to ISIS. How far will they get before triggering Israeli intervention.

Israel is in the bizzarre position of, rather than hoping that both lose, that both don't lose.

It looks like Maliki just staged a coup in order to prevent being fired as Prime Minister.

Has he used force? Lawsuits, whatever their merits or lack thereof aren't coups.

This definitely isn't going to help stability though. If anything I expect Malaki to be couped or assassinated eventually.

Try this one...he is probably talking about the deployment of Maliki-loyal militias around Baghdad.

You can't really call yourself a state if you have militia loyal to party or personal factions.

Don't worry,  I'm sure the Sunnis won't take advantage of this. :rolleyes:

Whoever made this map nonsensically redrew borders with sheer abandon, yet still has the West Bank as "status undetermined". Not even nutjobs can figure that one out yet.
