The Middle East is perpetually darftville.

I've convinced myself the Benghazi/Syria/Iraq stuff is an extension of the cold war but our government doesn't want to tell & scare us for one reason or another. Most likely because they have the situation pretty well contained.

It's the only explanation where everything falls into place from the politician p.o.v.

An extension of the cold war only because Russia hasn't run an effective government since... uhh... Catherine the Great?

We've discussed a bit of this here. Basically, Iraq WMD's went to Syria & Russia is very protective of Syria. By many accounts, Benghazi had a lot to do with Gadaffi's weapon stash going to Syrian freedom fighters. I know it sounds like hysterical conspiracy stuff but I think Stoked, GF, Scat and a few others who've discussed this a bit understand what I'm getting at.

In the 2013 Middle east war draft, The USA selects Gyp Rosetti from New Jersey.

He averages 5 fist fights per week, 4 Domestic Battery charges per month, and 54 arguments on Jazzfanz a day. Has been trained by movies, and owns his own gun

Standing 5'6" and weighing 238lbs.

Willing to die for his country.

Oh absolutely. The last thing we need.

But already you have America, Germany, Israel, Turkey, Czech Repub, Poland, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands v. Syria, Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas.

That leads to a full on Sunni/Shiite split in the Middle East and would envelope Asia possibly if N. Korea, Myanmar, China and Cambodia join Russia and S. Korea, Japan, Australia, Vietnam and Phillipines join NATO.
