Scary lack of diplomacy going on. Anyone see France and obamas press conference yesterday they still want Assad out.

Yup cotton - irregardless of Isis or isl or whatever they call them , it is just a distraction created to mask the real problem for Western Europe - the last piece of the puzzle to get that pipeline from Saudi and American contracts to build it and then secure it with an endless military reason to stay in the Mid East to protect it. Western Europe desperately needs a cheaper source of oil. This has been in play since ole Geroge Bush and his oil buddies first went into Iraq .
That and to keep all oil coming out of the Mid East to keep trading in U.S. $.
Putin don't like it one bit and will support Assad to the bitter end.
