ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

**Idaho** · 12-03-2015, 10:28

With so many interested parties having involvement in Syria, can't we all at least agree that whatever solution we come to, it's not going to be for the actual Syrians to decide on?

Preferred solutions:

America - like Kansas, but with more brown people. But can we have one of those democracies where there isn't any elections?
UK - er.. ok.. is Kansas anything like Surrey?
France - We want it just like it was in the 60s
Saudi - Tin pot Sunni dictator beholden to us please
Turkey - Don't care as long as it's stable and the north of the country is entirely uninhabited
Iran - Like Iraq, but without any Sunnis, or war, or like Iraq
Iraq - What he said, but said differently.
Israel - It will always be a threat to us, especially when it is either less or more of a threat

It seems that ISIS is on the offensive in one more country:

US bombed Syrian army camp.

This has the potential to get ugly. On purpose or a mistake?

The same words were heard when the Crimea was annaexed or when the Russian bomber was brought down. Ugly will have to wait. For a couple hundred years.

I'd put my money on the latter. But really, can it get more uglier than it already is. Such a mess.

Kinda brilliant http://nieuws.tpo.nl/2015/12/08/vide...-nep-executie/ (vid)

Don't worry about watching the video, nothing ugly. IS isn't the only one who is good at making video's.
