  • Obama Prepares for Drone War in Iraq
    • Abby gold 06/21/2014 at 12:50 am

      As drones can not carry heavy bomb loads,it will be enlightening to see how their use will pay out in a real serious fight,between two rag tag armies one in Toyota pick ups and the other bumbling fools with serious military equipment...

  • Who are Iraq's Sunni Arabs and What did we Do to them?
    • Abby gold 06/18/2014 at 12:56 pm

      A quick education on Iraq and its people's...so now what..any ideas out there..leaving the blame game aside?

  • Absolutely Nothing: A Veteran’s Savage Indictment of the Iraq War
    • Abby gold 06/17/2014 at 1:40 pm

  • Blair-Bush & Iraq: It's not just the quagmire but the Lawbreaking & Deception
    • Abby gold 06/15/2014 at 9:38 pm

      Everyone is to blame...including the participants in the butchery of each other...the world leaders don't have a clue of what to do...dr cole..sure would like to see your ideas on what actions can be taken that might go to solving the disasters in Syria and Iraq....

  • Egypt: 15-Yr. Sentence for Hero of Tahrir Revolution, blogger Alaa, 24 others
    • Abby gold 06/12/2014 at 5:54 pm

      Truly sad...one can only wonder why this latest gov. Finds it so necessary to clamp down so harshly on these perfectly harmless young people..they certainly were not Muslim brotherhood

  • Iraq: Looming War of Shiite, Kurdish, Extremist-Sunni Militias
    • Abby gold 06/12/2014 at 5:59 pm with 1 replies

      Iraq was never meant to be as the English set it up..a three state division Kurds,Shiites and Sunnis is likely the final and best outcome for peace in the area....

  • And the Walls Come Tumbling Down: Israeli PM Netanyahu on Notice from both Left and Right
    • Abby gold 06/11/2014 at 2:14 pm with 1 replies

      Dream on....Israel will not give up any part of Jerusalem nor any important settlement blocks and positively control of the Jordan river valley...there is no way they can trust any deal made with any Palestinian leader,considering the turmoil going on around them...fair or unfair,that's the reality

  • The Fall of Mosul and the False Promises of Modern History
    • Abby gold 06/11/2014 at 1:33 pm with 2 replies

      Truly a mess,there are as many bad guys as good guys,of course nobody can say which side is better for which outside interest ,which changes day to day..typical Mid East state of affairs..

  • Pope Francis hosts Israeli, Palestinian Leaders as "Brothers"
    • Abby gold 06/09/2014 at 5:29 pm

      A feel good moment,just an interlude of peace hope..which of course will not come..in a day or so everybody will be at one another's throat as usual...a. Truly sad state of affairs...

  • Student Debt: Blame Law-Makers, Tax-Shirking Rich, War on Drugs, not Universities
    • Abby gold 06/10/2014 at 1:16 pm

      Mc phee...touché ...I should have kept my simple minded mouth,away from even attempting to be snarky with such a brilliant intellect...

    • Abby gold 06/09/2014 at 5:21 pm with 3 replies

      Mc phee...there you go again, using 20 words when two would do..of course you are dead right on the button...it's just another racket ..12per cent juice..no bankruptcy allowed..the mafia would be happy...the banks get bailed out..GM..gets bailed out..but the kids get fleeced..what a country?

  • Prelude to Ethnic Cleansing? Israel Plans 3200 more Squatter homes on Palestinian Land
    • Abby gold 06/08/2014 at 12:45 pm with 1 replies

      Looks as though Israel has decided that time has come to move toward a final push toward an Israel from the sea to the Jordan river...likely because of the disarray amongst the Arab world,obamas weakness, and the cover that Putin brings them amongst the west..so they think,now is the time

  • On D-Day: Remembering the Muslim Troops who Fought the Axis
    • Abby gold 06/07/2014 at 11:38 pm

      Sorry..but the nazis came from all walks of German life and religions..catholic and Lutheran were well represented...

    • Abby gold 06/07/2014 at 1:38 pm

      Brilliant as always,now if I could understand it all..somehow I read that you likely are a anti war pacifist Quaker humanist Ultraliberal but anti communist..could I be right?

    • Abby gold 06/07/2014 at 1:24 pm

      You are right..I was over broad in my Irish post...I now know better

    • Abby gold 06/06/2014 at 12:07 pm with 2 replies
