Your "Also you cited another joke of an article that said Isis was being weakened? Another big lie and joke." is open to debate.

Also, ooi, which of the links flowing from my ..
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=117454400 ..
were you referring to with this whinge of yours?

"Don't give me any links to your silly little stories that don't have a clue whats really going on there or
are fabricating these stories to help make Obama look better than the disgrace he has been in this area.
"

Are you gonna call the Atlantic article in the same light?

All that aside this is the one of yours i'll keep an eye on.

They will wipe out all of the insurgents starting with the ones backed by the US and then they will attack Isis
and the rest with help from Iran. ... Russian and Iran will share the oil now held by Isis. ... When Russia gets
that oil , remember you heard it from old Leb first and I will back to rub it in your face and remind you
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=117448520 .. and the replies ..

Lebaneseproud, your "its now been completely destroyed." suggests all antiquities at Palmyra were lost, which isn't true.

Syria conflict: Salvaging Palmyra artefacts

5 October 2015 Last updated at 10:20 BST

As Islamic State fighters approached Palmyra in May, a group of local men teamed up to smuggle 400 antiquities out of the Greco-Roman World Heritage Site - all while under heavy gunfire.

BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen spoke to two of Syria's "Monuments Men" - a nod to the Hollywood blockbuster in which a group of soldiers fight to save European artworks from the advance of Nazi Germany.

Video produced by Howard Johnson .. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34409912 ..

note from the video, the expert opinion .. "the greatest loss was the Temple of Baal ... the rest really doesn't matter after this ... "

See .. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/01/world/middleeast/isis-militants-severely-damage-temple-of-baal-in-palmyra.html?_r=0

No .. that's not to diminish the tragic loss of ancient treasures which Daesh have
destroyed in Iraq and Syria, but it does cast a shadow on your position as stated by you.

As for your "you stinking libs" .. get screwed .. whatever happened to your veneer of respect for other opinions?

Lebaneseproud .. interesting you place no responsibility for the loss of Palmyra onto
the shoulders of Assad, who in fact i would suggest is demonstrably more responsible.

Further .. do you really believe Palmyra would have been safer under a McCain-Palin regime?
