Man, I almost spilled a mouthful of coffee onto my keyboard. Our
military leaders are not going to defeat these determined "religious"

wreak havoc. If by some miracle our forces chased ISIS out of where it
is now, it'll just re-emerge Phoenix-like, somewhere else.

I could **** you off right away and make you a hawk if I pointed out
why we have any interest in the middle east at all. It certainly is
not oil.



Yeah. That was a myth quickly de-bunked.

Yes, anyone who understands how the world commodity market works
understands that whoever has the oil will be happy to sell it at the
market price. You notice that when we had a little dial down of the
middle eastern wars, the oil prices crashed.
I suspect the Russians are stirring the pot, just hoping they can get
them to go up again. They need the money.
