Operation Roundup

[Zam-Zam]

For those who may have forgotten, there is still a war going on......And, hopefully, not for much longer:


The U.S. and Russia began separate efforts Tuesday to help their respective Syrian allies defeat the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in the country, just as new reports indicated that the risk of a conflict between the two world powers was again escalating.

The Syrian Democratic Forces, a mostly Kurdish alliance backed by the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, launched the third and final phase to defeat ISIS in eastern Syria, where the jihadis who once controlled half the country were reduced to mere pockets, including the village of Hajin and the countryside of Deir Ezzor province. Days after its local partners officially banned the use of child soldiers—a move the coalition told Newsweek that its allies were committed to—a coalition press release announcing the beginning of the offensive called the Syrian Democratic Forces "reliable, effective combat soldiers who abide by the law of armed conflict."

"We will continue to support our SDF partners in our shared fight against ISIS in Syria, and we thank the SDF for the incredible contribution and sacrifices they have made on behalf of the international community," Major General Patrick Roberson, commander of the Special Operations Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve, said in a statement.

"The multiethnic Syrian Democratic Forces remain committed to liberating the people of northeastern Syria from ISIS’s control and putting an end to the human suffering in the area," Roberson added. "Moving forward, we will continue coordination with the SDF and other partners to promote regional security and stability that will ensure a lasting defeat of ISIS."

"A lasting defeat of ISIS"......I like the sound of that. Let's hope it comes to pass.

I appreciate what successive administrations of both parties have done on our behalf, for U.S. national security.

But we'd be ignoring the elephant in the room if we didn't mention:
the U.S. policy of killing for peace is in some sense as silly as boinking for virginity.

"We can't kill them all. When I kill one, I create three." Lt. Col Fredrick Wellman

Syria is a cesspit of human misery, has been for most of a decade. And now the U.S. and Russia are there; what could possibly go wrong?

I'll tell you one thing that could possibly go wrong, we could begin world war III and it could go nuclear... is that a problem?

The old man went to swing his son on the old tire tied to the old oak tree, but, alas, the old rope had broken and the tire lay flat on the ground, incapable of supplying any fun for the family. Becoming despondant, the man walked over and sat on the tire and tried to imagine where he might have more of the rope he had used many years before. Unable to remember, he continued to sit and think, and there he sat in his ire until the satire of what he was doing dawned upon him and shot to his feet enraged at all the constructs of humanity that had sold him hemp rope in the first place.

did you mean satire or sat tire or sat ire?

Yes.
