If the U.S. and Russia wre both training actually trying to defeat ISIS, then how is that proxy war? Answer, ISIS is a US ally under this administration.

The Kurds have been doing rather well at fighting the Islamist lunatics. The Kurds courage is to be commended.

Could be. Whereas Newt told them all they were entitled to was the pursuit of happiness, Bush Sr’s “compassionate conservatism” was supposed to give the GOP a more socialist image, seeing government as savior of first resort. Things ain’t been right since.

View this report with skepticism. There are two Kurdish groups. Both fighting ISIS. One (communist endoctrinated) is also engaged in creating a separate Kurdish state and against both Syrian (Assad) and Turkish governments. The other, Peshmerga is the name of the group affilliated with the Kurdish state in Iraq which is not involved .

Not that the Bush administration treated the Kurds any better.

The Bush administration's callous abandonment of the Kurds will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the long history of broken promises by both the United States and Britain

“When did we fall down the rabbit hole?”

The hole was dug by R.M. Nixon. Since then it has been a process of cramming every thing down it, until Zippy got to push the remaining bits in and shovel the hole over.

Hope the world remembers there is a big difference between the Bozo and the real people of the USA!

“seedy, wheezing old plug”

That would describe Hillary, Biden, and Bernie.
