From Dinar Land : Vietnam1969 reported Salaheddin security forces say that armed forces assisted by volunteers are on the verge to launch a major attack to liberate Tikrit.  A security force remained anonymous said ISIL has recently acquired sophisticated anti aircraft missile systems including Strella missiles.  These weapons were observed in Anbar and Salaheddin provinces.

Rayzur reported live from the border, Kobani is gradually being gobbled up by ISIL at least one third of the city, despite airstrikes by US led coalition.   If the city falls in the hands of ISIL, expect massacre. Kobani is just a few miles away from Turkish borders and can be clearly seen from the Turkish side where tens of tanks have gathered and just sitting there doing nothing. The Kurds said they are being let down by the world and especially Turkey.  Analysts say Turkey has its reasons : 1) Turkish government considers Kurds as their enemies, 2) Turkey wants to topple Assad regime.  Even though they are fighting the same enemy – ISIL.  Turkey is not willing to help his enemy’s enemy. Many countries including US are also getting frustrated of Turkey’s inaction and their desire to create a buffer and no fly zone in Syria’s border which will need Syrian government’s approval.

Thanks Nadita. Maybe it's a little radical but I think all flights from West Africa should be banded until we figure out how to handle this Ebola plague. Oh, did I say plague. Humm, Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, plagues? Maybe we're close!!!

Thanks Nadita for another great spin! My biggest fear is a person on a cruise ship with Ebola. There would be no way to contain it. Imagine being in contact with 3000 passengers and they all go their separate ways!

[a-j516]

great spin Nadita.  Gasoline has dropped below three bucks around Iowa and in some parts of the state to 2.85.  I agree that this ebola thing could go bonkers if they dont monitor people entering the country.  Keep up the good work Nadita, really enjoy the spin..................
