I have only seen it here:
28th June: Admiral John Kirby, the spokesperson of the US Department of Defense has stated that the United States is in a position to deploy 30000 troops to Iraq if the need arises and the President so decides.
I thought Obama said no to that idea.
Wait a minute!!!
Who’s on first?
That was closely followed by this little tidbit.
28th June: Qassim Atta, the spokesperson for the Iraqi army claims that Russian made Sukhoi aircraft will be supporting army operations in the next few hours.
Neither quote is on the Google sheeple fodder menu. I already tried.
Hmmmm…
The enemy of my enemy is my frenemy.
Or something like that.
Those backroom deals never make the news, do they? The only real evidence of their existence lies in the effects that they have. Is ISIS a sufficient threat to Russian interests that Putin is willing to throw the Eastern Ukraine pro-Russian rebels under the bus in order to quell the flames in the northern areas of the Middle east?
Hmmmmmmmm!!!
Could be…
Them crazed fundamentalists…Muslim, Christian, whatever…are the primary driving power behind the increasingly centrist points of view of the really powerful nations. Everybody’s afraid of people who don’t really care whether they live or die.
So it goes.
Back to the future.
Iraq III. Or is that Vietnam VI?
Korea VII?
I am so confused!!!
Who’s on first?
Whatever.
Watch.
Let us prey…errr, aahhhh…I mean let us pray!!!
Later…

Advice from well-meaning, weak as hell, left-leaning centrists?
Ah jes’ cain’t wait!!!
Orwell pinned it.
Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, engaged in endless, circle jerk “wars”.
And the proles pay on.
Just as it’s always been.
Just as it’s always been.

As I understand, seven Russian build fighter jets arrived today at Rashid AFB near Baghdad and will be deployed for action in a matter of days.
The locals in Mosul welcomed the ISIS extremists with flowers as the Iraqi army was ousted and the troops forced to lay down arms.
PM Maliki hit back at ISIS in Tikrit wit new army units, killing over one hundred jihadists. The difference of 180 U.S. advisers is already making a difference.
The US troops will be deployed in Jordan to protect the Hashemite King from being overthrown. ISIS is following strict Wahhabist (religious) policy of the Saudi Kingdom. Jordan made the wrong historic choice to back Saddam Hussein in its attack on Kuweit. The Jordan monarchy was promised the guardianship of the Islamic holy places of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

○ Jerusalem Post: Israel, US prepared to help Jordan fight ISIS
The United States has become irrelevant in the sectarian/civil war of the Middle East. Kerry diplomacy is not bearing any fruit, on the contrary. The White House is speaking in riddles, much like Egypt’s Sphinx.
Speaking in riddles in public, Oui. I am sure that they are doing hard bargaining in private. Controllers negotiate, then they babble nonsense to the controlled. Look to the results. Russia and the U.S….and Iraq as well…collaborating against the jihadists. Why? It’s in all of their best interests.
Who needs those crazy Jihadist/Tea Party guys mucking up the fix?
Always and forever.
