#4 US and UK coalition of two. Bombing sites Saudis have bombed 3-4 times. To what useful end. Houthi hardened so then send in troops. This will not deter them. So boxed in and escalation inevitable. 20 years of threats. So bring it on.

#5 Lloyd with pancreatic cancer is bad news for him. I have known several who have died shortly after diagnosis. I suppose things have improved in the last 20 years but not for those I have known. Two to three weeks for my known area people.

#7  Lloyd with pancreatic cancer

Last I heard, it was prostate cancer. Updates welcome.

Speaking of the Secretary, have there been any recent sightings? The cheerful wave from a hospital bed or bravely signing some important document? All I see are stock media images.

#10 Turkey with base in northern Cyprus. US with base operations in Southern Cyprus. Turkey holds this territory as theirs for hundreds of years. Efforts to unite Muslim interests to counter USA efforts. UK efforts limited having bad history with Yemen.

#12 #9 Well yes. Oncologist joke; Fellow in bad neighborhood is approached by a young woman. She says I'm selling. Man says I'm buying. Gets terrible problems and gets admitted to hospital. Treated he leaves and decides to visit a nice neighborhood. Sitting he is again approached by the same woman. She says I'm selling and man says, what are you selling this time cancer!.

#13 #7 is correct. I have had run ins with people over the years who have died. Two different cancers not actually closely related.

#14  I have only two words.

#17 If the cancer is found while still in the organ, the DaVinci procedure has a very good record for survival. If outside of the organ, may have 6 months & the treatment is brutal radiation.
