kinda mysterious info about the ISIS people they scooped up: some accounts say that they, like the freed prisoners, were confined - as much to say that they were also prisoners.

Would you be more likely to snitch on your fellow "religion"-deranged sociopaths if the other guys freed you from a jail stretch?

I suppose it could be that they'd been confined because they were too bloodthirsty even for ISIS
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

The comments in Yahoo news can be rather tedious but this one caught my eye

It may be more important to consider this....along with her arrogance and ignorance she is evil to be sure. Her reign was foretold, she is every ones fool. Fear her, for she is the Beast and all that follows will be blindness to her evil and madness. The Beast will come coveted as a politician and bear the number 666, hidden on her (v)agina for only her master to see. Fear her, for she will lay waste to all the places and people you love and with her election she will bring strife, deprivation and despair as the world has never seen. Fear her, for she will be called Hillary Clinton and the powers of the President she will wield and anarchy, destruction and ruin will be her legacy.

Chafee's out

"As you know I have been campaigning on a platform of Prosperity Through Peace," Chafee said at the DNC's annual Women's Leadership Forum in Washington. "But after much thought I have decided to end my campaign for president today. I would like to take this opportunity one last time to advocate for a chance be given to peace."

in America today being viewed as the anti-christ by a certain percentage of the populace is a pre-requisite to becoming prez. congrats in advance to Hilary on becoming our first female anti-christ president.

oh god yes. I lived in SF and was a young activist - always going to book readings and meetings and protests and what not. pretty much constantly heard him referred to as the anti-christ, which even at the time I thought was funny coming from a bunch of godless folks.

You'd think that if the Anti-Christ worked herself all the way up first lady, she/he would find a way to hold that power, or at least wouldn't be forced to wait 16 years for a shot at the big spot. I guess the Anti-Christ isn't as powerful as they make him/her out to be.

I don't believe in an anit-Christ, but I did think Bush was/is a souless and clueless individual who didn't mind seeing other people die. If there was an anti-christ, it was cheney.

massive hostage rescue in Kirkuk is successful, though one US soldier dies from injuries sustained:
US-Iraqi forces have rescued dozens of hostages held by Islamic State (IS) in Iraq after learning of their "imminent execution", the Pentagon has said.

But a US soldier wounded in the raid died of his injuries - the first killed in action since US operations against IS began last year.

The early morning operation on Thursday took place near the town of Hawija in northern Iraq.

Five IS militants were captured and a number killed, the Pentagon said.

About 70 hostages were rescued, defence officials said, including Sunni Arabs, 20 Iraqi security force members and IS members being held as suspected spies. No Kurds were rescued, the Pentagon and Kurdish officials said, despite initial reports to the contrary.

A Kurdish intelligence source however told the BBC only 17 were rescued, all former IS militants. He said the operation's aim was to capture prisoners who had defied orders of their IS leaders

also, official ground troops! we're at war. this is not 'support'; this is backup.
