msmortgagewiz Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Good Morning!!! I love a good reality check, especially one that creates forward movement. I'm in Virginia so been up for a while, can't sleep much anyway these days. I have so much emotionally invested in this. So may people in my life that have no clue what I am doing, and how I may possibly be able to change the quality of their lives. Have a great morning. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATHIM Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thug, you are a classic. With all hopes that this ride comes to a good conclusion soon, I will always remember your humor as the bright spot in every Vets visit. God bless your great attitude! If you are not already, you should be writing comedy scripts. Keep em' comin bud! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 What does this mean? Turkey agreed to take the Kurdish region of Iraq if Iran is given the rest of Iraq & agrees not to take claim to Kurdistan. It seems like Turkey & Iran have a mutual understanding on how best to carve up the spoils of Iraq for themselves. They view Obama as too weak & leaderless to do anything about it & they will exploit that weakness. Russia & China are on the sidelines egging Turkey & Iran on.

cgbrown Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Their window of opportunity is slim---- I don't think Turkey or Iran will move to take over Iraq in view of our recent military investment there. We will not leave them defenseless. Obama or no Obama. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win1mich Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 "I SEE AN EMERGENCY MEETING OF PARLIAMENT WAS CALLED AFTER COMMENTS BY THE IRANIAN COMMANDER OF MILITARY FORCES THAT THEY COULD TAKE CONTROL OF IRAQ PRETTY MUCH AT WILL" Does anyone have a link to wherever Med got this information? I've looked in a few places and didn't see anything pertaining to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francie26 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 They haven't changed in centuries, execept in one way. At one time, they had the largest thriving library, a.k.a. educational center, in the world--in Constantinople (Turkey). Another large one was in Alexandria, Egypt. At the time, other cities in the mid-east were highly focused on learning, which gave the people of the region keen, early insights into astrology, astronomy, biology, botany,and many other sciences, and in those areas of study, they were far ahead of the western world of the time. But when they let the religious zealots of both the western world and their own tribal zealots burn and loot the libraries and destroy all means of learning, those exceptional cultures fell back into oblivion. The destruction was so complete that it's taken them well over a thousand years to pull themselves out of it, and even then, it took the invasion of a powerful western country to help get them get our of the repititious, cyclical religious and tribal log-jams in which they were stuck. Even now, they still need a prod now and then to break them out of a possible return to their old ways which could easily jerk them back into their old tribal mentality. There seems to be an enormous innate intelligence in Arab people. The Arabs and Greeks were the first civilizations on Earth to set up separate schools of learning and to value thinking and learning in their own right, the first to build and promote vast cultural centers and libraries, and to create and follow intellectual pursuits that we in the west have only recently learned to value. The people of these two ancient cultures, the Greeks and the Arabs throughtout the mid-east, were already intellectually sophisticated at a time when my own ancestors were still locked into pre-history. (I understand that when Caesar and his Legions arrived in Wales, they were met by nude people on the field of battle, men and women alike, all wearing only blue paint. I have read that the loud, shrill trilling of these nude blue people sent Caesar's legions running in fear. haha ). I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the religious zealotry and tribal mentality have kept these otherwise intellectually gifted people locked into a much older age long past its time. No matter how historically sophisticated they are today, and no matter how intelligent they may be as individuals, their nations won't be able to completely join the 21st Century and become dependable, leading actors in their own right on the world stage unless and until they are willing to get those two things, religious zealotry and tribal thinking, under control. JMO, of course. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
