The Cycle of Death Continues

As per the BBC

"The Iraqi government has declared three days of national mourning after a huge bomb in Baghdad killed 165 people and injured 225 others.

A lorry packed with explosives was detonated in the Karrada district while families were shopping for the holiday marking the end of Ramadan. 

Rescuers said whole families had been wiped out and many victims were burned beyond recognition.
So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the suicide attack."

Who was it said "mission accomplished"?

Erdogan Has Small Hands

Dissent In The State Department

Fifty one mid- to high-level State Department officers involved with advising on Syria policy have signed a dissent channel cable calling for military strikes against President Bashar al-Assad's government, to stop its persistent violations of the ceasefire.

That might be all very well for Washington based policy wonks to "bravely" put their heads above the parapet on paper. However, the reality is that any strikes on Assad will bring America into direct conflict with Assad's sponsor Russia.

Additonally, as with Iraq, what exactly is the game plan if Assad is toppled?

Do these cosseted staffers think the democracy will magically bloom overnight in the arid sands of the desert?

Remove Assad and you have ISIS, Al Qaeda and other idiots running the show!

The 51 dissenters should be sacked. Not for dissenting, but for being idiots!

Turkey Completes Its Transition To Dictatorship

Turkey is now a dictatorship, in which Erdogan is president only in title and in reality a supreme despot as there is no longer anyone who can politically challenge the president.

Boris Johnson's View of Erdogan

There was a young fellow from Ankara
Who was a terrific wankerer
Till he sowed his wild oats
With the help of a goat
But he didn’t even stop to thankera.

Unlike Germany, the UK will not kowtow to Erdogan's complaints about satire and mockery that denigrate Erdogan's ego and reputation.
