82 degrees here. Pretty rough when your used to 60s as an average. I don't sleep well either. We have that Seattle weather.

Great Find!!

I wonder whether the Egyptian Armed Forces will beat the Chilean Armed Forces' game score of 3,000 dead.

If this goes the way of Syria it won't even be a contest.

Scrat

Massacre. Or was it the soldiers shooting in self defense? I think they did, this is the same thing the "rebels" did in Syria. Soldiers will defend themselves. At the end of this video it states that there was a call for rebellion.

<t>Not good news for the rebels. Seems they're fighting amongst themselves as resources grow scarcer. The fall of Qusayr has virtually cut off their sw supply route. Not a lot can be gotten in through Turkey due to the SAA having a will and the ability to intervene in most cases with mobile raids. A...

A real clash of cultures is what I see. Potentially violent in the future considering religion is involved. A scary thing to think about.

<r>These last couple of weeks have seen a return to the standoff between SAA and the "rebels". Basically they have been trading blows.

I see you modified your post to take the part about 16 lane highways out, because... yeah, that's not exactly the case here.

I don't think Muslims or Scots or Welsh people are the problem here. I think the main motivation is money. Anyone who does this is just plain low.

<t>Anne. I'm still questioning the writings and popular opinion of the holocaust, simple as that. There's too much that just doesn't add up when you apply logic to it.
