Is it possible to get more disgusted with our foreign policy? This past week the US Attorney for Southern NY brought up charges on the Turkish PM's partner-in-extortion and he immediately became a cult hero there. We are advocating some of the worst human rights abusers..... at least when Saudi Arabia goes backrupt, it'll be interesting.

I know this is not right.

But sometimes I think we should give everyone over there a pre-made suicide bomb jacket, than get the heck out of there. But stop giving them any other weapons. Maybe have some type of GPS controlled detonator on the suicide bomb jackets that will explode if taken out of a certain area, so the bombs can not be used in other countries.

When they decide to stop fighting/blowing themselves up, we can make nice with whoever is left.

I doubt the fighting will ever end between the different tribes and whatever groups. This is why we should not have entered into this conflict to begin with.

Years ago, there was a place called East Bum Fuck Egypt. This place is just bit more East.

But in any case, stories conflict. Last night there was a program by Oliver North about how the Kurds are fighting ISIS with a this a that weapon. A big problem since we never supplied them with weapons. So????
