I saw one where they simply hit everything in the frame with something
that looked like a cluster bomb. The second one blew a huge hole about
75 meters from the building they appeared to be aiming at.

Maybe CNN just picked the misses but they certainly had some.


Hopefully, Syria will turn into another Afghanistan for the Russkies.

It is a different situation altogether.
In Syria, Russia will have a willing partner on the ground. That is
more than the US can say, unless you count a rabble of Kurdish
fighters we can't really trust.
It turns out our "allies" are giving some of the weapons we supply to
ISIS. Personally I would just let the Russians deal with it, even if
it means Assad stays. Every time we have deposed one of these
dictators it turned out worse for us.


I think we're going to see a much bigger Russian presence in Syria than was ever
imagined, and I'm not talking about a destroyer making a social visit.

You think the Russkies will make nice with ISIS-ISIL?


Nope. That's their excuse to expand their presence in that neck of the woods.

BTW, have you repainted your Maryland red barn lately? Last I saw, it was in need of
some fresh paint.
