40. Wow! Your post confirms my suspicions.

I have asked over and over on DU why the American and Turkish ambassadors would have met in Benghazi rather than in Tripoli or perhaps on an American vessel in the Mediterranean or some safe place. This explains it. And I have long suspected cooperation between Turkey (interested in assisting attacks on the Kurds) and the US (interested, with the French, on unseating Assad). Not that the goal of unseating Assad is wrong, but the risk of funding or in any way assisting Islamic insurgents against any government in the Middle East requires a lot of understanding about the social and religious and cultural realities on the ground that our Western diplomats and governments lack. (I'm not pretending to have them either.)

So this is going to be the October surprise.

Hulk, Bully Trump is right, and I have also in my intuition been right. Hillary will not make it through the 2016 election. This along with her many conservative stances and her vote for the Iraq War place her judgment and understanding of people and the world in doubt. Bernie, for all his professed democratic socialism is a skeptic, a grump who to a very healthy degree, views the world from the negative as well as the positive. I don't see that balance in any of the present candidates for president, neither among the Republicans or the Democrats.

Of all the things I have grown to like about Bernie, it is the tough, experiencced in life, grumpy side I like the best. It's going to be hard to put something like ISIS over on Bernie once he is president.

This makes me believe more than ever that Bernie will be our next president., Every other possible candidate is enmeshed in these kinds of scandals if not this one -- another one.

Thanks for this post.
