File under: Islamic State

#1 Retaining citizens that have pledged to IS seems like a bad idea. Provide a van for their trip with a Khurdish driver. Everybody wins.

#2 ISIS now recruiting. Embed operants who can report numbers, positions and inventories of munitions. Tag ALL existing Western recruits for interception upon return home. Not an enviable mission, but large numbers of these Jihadists should not be allowed to return home, or then the real fun will start.

#3 Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

#5 I don't think there's a direct translation of the idiom, Rambler, but "Gott sei Dank, dass wir den los sind!" should suffice. :-D

(I haven't lived in Germany since 1973, so I could be a little - or a lot - off.)

#7 Thanks, EC. :-D

I still use the "Gott sei dank!" part a lot.

#8 Let's hope you can use it again in January 2017... on Inauguration Day of a Republican President (preferably a smart one)
