How from a common sense recommendation to not sacrifice the living or make costly devotions depriving the people to much needed social funding to soulless objects, one can reach conclusion that it means the destruction of art and historical heritage will improve the situation of any?

And in the midst of that, we learn that the Hill is not immune from scandal. After being suspected of an extra marital affair with a lady lobbyist during the 2008 Presidential campaign at an age most think you go fishing early morning and play banjo under your porch in the afternoon think I said, a senior leading figure of the Senate had to admit he actually did much worse and has had a history of affairs after he was under the obligation at an Armed Forces conference to admit Sen Graham, among his associates in the Three Amigos, is an illegitimate son... but are they more? We will ask Sen McCain.

ISIS in panic mode and fear raids Christians in Syria and Tribes in Iraq to collect human shields, a good sign it is effectively on a back foot. The looming Iraq forces offensive should also slow rapidly the flow of Islamic foreign fighters from Europe more interested in commiting atrocities on disarmed civilians and raping ladies that belongs to local ethnic minorities than facing a true battle with Iraq armed forces when they are ready.

Iraq’s military said around 2,000 Shi’ite militia fighters, known as the Popular Mobilisation, had arrived near Tikrit in preparation for a major operation against Islamic State. Raed Jabouri, governor of Tikrit’s Salahuddin province, said on Tuesday that 5,000 fighters from thesecurity forces and the Popular Mobilisation – formed last year with Iranian support after the rout of the army – would join “the operation to liberate Tikrit”.

PM Al Abadi bold and clear, according to many ISIS is on a back foot in Iraq and if the task to retake Mossul needs a tight organisation, there isn't a lot of doubts about the outcome, ISIS will be wiped out of Iraq.

lundi 23 février 2015

You have it here and with 25 000 combat troops ideally 30000 with the new ratio you get 75000 support which includes a wide range of services that can be outsources in some cases but anyway it gets close to 115000 altogether.

It is about how lucky I can feel sometime when I go to the dentist and when almost done he tells me that he will have to see me to pull out a tooth but not before 5 weeks because of a fortnight vacation and an overbooked schedule. Always thanking him for letting me know in advance so I can think about it every morning and night on the run up to the appointment. Kindness so rare these days.
Why did u ask anyway?

But Muslim advocates cautioned against ascribing a religious motive to the attack without more evidence.
"I don't think there should be a litmus test for crazy Muslims," said Dawud Walid, executive director of Council on American Islamic Relations. "Or as if all Muslims are motivated by religion."


Should the same caution apply to the chapel hill shooting perpetrator?

In retaliation for an Egypt's court decision
Egypt’s “Cairo Court of Urgent Matters” issued a verdict banning Hamas and designating its military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, as “terrorist organizations.” The court ruled that:
  • The group were implicated in bombings in Egypt.
  • The brigades have been planning and financing terrorist attacks in Egypt.
  • The brigades and Hamas have changed from their original objective of fighting the Israeli occupation, and is now aiming to target Egypt’s security.
A spokesman for Hamas said that the verdict was “dangerous,” and that “Al-Qassam Brigades are the symbol of resistance against the Israeli occupation, and a symbol of the [Palestinian] nation’s pride and dignity, despite all attempts at defamation.
