#2 It's ~~Wahabbi~~ Elk Season in southeast Syria! Any ammunition, from 5.56x45 FMJ to 120mm "Super Size DU Deer Slug" may be used, and there's no bag limt.

#3 The writing's on the wall, as they say. Anyone with eyes should be able to see....yada yada.

Were the futures board still available to me, I'd have a tough time deciding whether to put my wage on before - or after the election.

#4 I think the Guardian article was posted on Rantburg a couple of days ago? So, did the Dean crowd like the idea,too?

#6 1. Maybe. Wonder about the al-guardians source on this though. Remember Debka saying the Spec ops guys were running like half of Iraq months before the war. Well Debka was wrong. There is some tendency to overestimate what Spec ops can do. (they can do a lot of course, but not everything attributed to them)
2. If they are doing this, is it hard for Syria to complain, since theyd have to admit there are jihadis there? Conspiracy of silence? Maybe even Syria wants this, to avoid become a US target cause of the Jihadis?
3. Maybe disinfo, to scare the jihadis and push them to other routes?
