What a disaster for the Iraqi people that we ever went in there. Sadam or ISIS that would be an easy choice. Just ask any of the Iraqi minority religions-peoples.
I’m sure the first thing ISIS did when they seized that dam was to plant explosives in it. Just to give themselves the option.

Maybe because they are at least in part funded by the Saudi’s? ISIL is Sunni if I remember correctly.
We sure have turned that place into a disaster. They were so much more stable under Saddam.

Europe in the free flow of Iraqi oil–so I am surprised that we just let Iraq fall apart–plus that disintegration confirms a loss of our honor and prestige…what’s left of it…

Israel to make peace with…Hamas is a mortal enemy of Israel…let’s hope Israel wipes them out–and liberates the people of Gaza from their reign of terror

I agree with your sentiment regarding ISIL. If any group deserves the label of EVIL then it’s them.
As far as “Iraq has oil that rightfully belongs to the U.S”
Can you explain this a little more?

[that’s important to know]–then I turned on the TV Box. DOW futs were down 60 or 70 pts…gold up $6.50 or so…then I went back to sleep–woke up again at 7:30 and checked CNBC only to see DOW cuts UP & G&S down….indeed, the Boyz aren’t giving up without a fight….

Iraq has oil that rightfully belongs to the U.S,–our Prez truly is a Nero fiddling…why not flatten ISIL in June or sooner–now they have metastasized in Iraq–like a cancer–and will be hard to “cut out”…if they start losing they will burn the oil fields–like ole Saddam did in Kuwait and explode the damm Dam…olr Saddam was what was needed to rule–just like Tito was needed–and Assad is a 1000 times better than the ISIL scum–

I don’t think the Boyz can keep the SM levitated forever. Look what’s going on in the world. Eventually the SM junkie will lose it’s fix and down it’ll go.
With the PM shares going opposite. err … I think.

Let’s hope that’s the case. Shares seem to want to follow the metals. Get the feeling that if the metals would pop the shares would explode.
The boyz are throwing the kitchen sink at the SM to keep it from cratering before the weekend.

Ukraine Prepares To Impose Russian Gas Transit Ban, Commit Economic Suicide
Ukraine ready to impose sanctions against any transit via its territory, including air flights and gas supplies to Europe, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Friday. Ukraine’s Parliament will vote on the sanctions on Tuesday. Kiev has also prepared a list of 172 Russian citizens and 65 companies predominantly Russian to put under sanctions for “sponsoring terrorism, supporting the annexation of Crimea, and violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Yatsenyuk said at a briefing on Friday.
Proposed sanctions include asset freezes, bans on certain enterprises, bans on privatizing state property, refusing to issue licenses, and a complete or partial ban on transit- both aviation and gas.
“We simply have no other choice,” the Prime Minister said, adding that Ukraine will use part of the $17 billion IMF aid to achieve energy independence, and may go to the World Bank for help.

Pentagon confirming airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq.
A few bombs here, a few drone strikes there. The American way.

I woulda thought Duane Hagadone in Couer got the trophy.
Loved his golf course and got to tour his private dining room and wine cellar. Had a nice 200′ yacht too that he played nine holes off in the Med. Always played with staff and never lost..huh.
