We have yet another name for ISIS, ISIL, IS...

18. It is important that we keep a timeline going

for retrieval as the war drums get louder.
Al I know is that last year, Obama wanted to attack Syria but could not get enough popular support for it
and this spring IS-whatever popped up, there has been lots of news about how bad they are
yet
when there was WH talk of "helping" out Iraq, Malaki promptly said no thanks, we got this.
Following that, there was suddenly talk about Malaki needing to go away.

July of this year....news headline:
Iraq PM al-Malaki scorns calls for his resignation
"I will never give up the nomination for the post of prime minister," he said in a statement issued by his office.

One month later:
Iraq Has New Leadership, Al-Malaki Will Step Aside
http://www.npr.org/2014/08/15/340562882/iraq-has-new-leadership-al-malaki-will-step-aside

And NOW all the talk is how we are going to spend millions on "moderate" Syrian rebels, the ones that are fighting Assad.
And how we are going to have a few thousand "advisors" in Iraq, to show Iraqis where to aim their guns.

Plus it has gotten strangely quiet, news wise, about Afghanistan.

McCain and Lindsey Graham ( Bill Maher called him the "Blanche Dubois of the Republican Party&quot are all busy telling us we will have ISIS slitting out throats in the grocery stores here.....

I am waiting for an "I told you so" incident in this country.
