IS Update - Middle East Crisis

Lets Get Real

Thus far the Obama strategy for Syria and Iraq is working, the success of IS has been stalled, the Kurds are equall to the IS, they are of course helped by the US and Allies mastery of the Sky.   If the Kurds can hold the land they recover then the War could be turning.   IS since the start of the air campaign has not had the success it had before, of course IS are ruthless terrorists, they need progress on the PR front to get more fighters, one would have to be stupid not to notice that the US airforce and its allies are pushing back IS, also IS can not take the US on in the air.    Lets not ge ahead of ourselfs the fighting is going to be hard and it will take years, but the Western supported side will win, it can wait IS out. 

North Korea and the Sony Hack - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

At the end of the day North Korea attacked a film company, they didn't attack South Korea or threaten US troops.   The above action by President Obama is about right.   The film the Interview should be released by Sony to private websites or bloggers, will not mind putting the film on their own sites, if Sony is that afraid.    The film should be released as a rebuke to North Korea and its loopy leader.   The next time North Korea might attack the US Government or the US military, the North Koreans have to be shown that threats from Korea are only worth a belly laugh.  The Regime is a joke, the leader is a nut job in need for a better hairdresser.
