The usual BBC map, etc. at the link. Hat tip to The Thing From Snowy Mountain.

[BBC] Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
... Prime Minister of Iraq and the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party. Maliki imposed order on Basra wen the Shiites were going nuts, but has proven incapable of dealing with al-Qaeda's Sunni insurgency. Reelected to his third term in 2014...
has told the BBC that he hopes jets from Russia and Belarus will turn the tide against rebels in the coming days.

"God willing within one week this force will be effective and will destroy the terrorists' dens," he said.

#1 And Vlad is laughing his ass off as he rides his horse off to kill a bear with his bare hands or is he riding his bear off to kill a horse with his bare hands? I forget but obviously the puss in the oval office just has his ass handed to him again. Which by the way is something that never happened as long as George had Dick to whisper in his ear...obviously Vlad respected (feared?) Rummy and Dick.
