This blog is very confusing. Please start another. That'd be four in about an hour. When you post a new blog, previous blogs disappear on the main site, but remain on the mobi site. You are aware of that, right?
The quote, attributed to Prime Minister Cameron, is...
"...Not for the first time, I found myself thinking that it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate with the Muslim way of life, not the other way around."
It's not my intent to get "preachy" here. I'm simply noting the similarity between a very ancient writing and possible developments in Syria...
Isaiah 17:1-3
You may search it. Damascus is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world. No event in history can be said to have fulfilled the prophecy, nor inspired a late date "prophecy" that was falsely assigned an earlier date.
Whatever one's belief system, or opinion on current events, the situation is certainly...interesting.
In the wake of the Paris attacks, Congressman Paul Ryan has suggested a "pause" in the plan to bring 10,000 of the refugees to the U.S.
Perhaps we should pause long enough for President Putin to unveil his plan for Syria. It may be that there will be no Syrian refugee situation. Because, well.....there will be no......you know.....
It's simple, Jim. All we have to do is adopt Federal gun laws like those of civilized European countries (such as France ) and the government will take charge of our safety! And they'll manage it every bit as well as they manage everything else, I betcha! Right?.......
Where I grew up...there was a Maid Rite (home of the loose meat sandwich) located in an old railroad dining car. Maid Rites & mustard... Even better'n White Castles.
McDonald's - Don't go there much. I was riding along with a friend & we stopped at a MickeyD's. Friend had a 2 for 1 coupon for a chicken sandwich...two for $4.00. They were literally four bites...and not really big bites, at that!
At the regular price...$1.00/bite! Probably the most expensive food I've ever eaten!!
Let us even disregard the implications of the Veterans Today/Pravda article. There's also timing.
Historically, the U.S. has been less inclined to international ventures during a political (Presidential election) year - 2016. And, historically, the old USSR seemed to take advantage of that. That alone would give Putin something over a year to establish Russia as a major force in combating "terrorism".
Good grief! Even I can figure that out! It'd be incredible to think it escaped the notice of a former KGB Lt. Col.!
