What most don't realize is that there is nobody that will be able to replace Assad. That is what happened in both Iran and Iraq.. The leader gone, Ideology took over, and the meanest group took over. Almost lost Egypt, but looks to recovering.. Arab Spring has sure turned into a Death spiral. Eventually Europe will be overtaken by the incoming freeloaders.

Google "freedom pipeline Syria" and you will see all this has been driven by resources greed, on all sides, since early 2000s. Meanwhile, innocent people die there and in the west.

@doctor who I respect your opinion, I hope you can respect mine too. They aren't "working" there, they are invading a country to overthrow it's government for their own benefit. The allies should not be there, we never had a dog in that fight until we stuck our nose in where it isn't wanted.

Remember that Syria is a sovereign state. The leadership asked only 2 external countries to assist with military force, Russia and Iran. Everyone in there who is not Syrian, Russian military or Iranian military is uninvited.

I just think they are underestimating the patience of the Ruskies. I hope nothing happens.

Did the RAAF ever stop flying Sorties since they first agreed to work over there , All i know is it has been kept Quite on who does what to help stop the home grown problems from you know who,, Just saying not an argument

DL: nope; I'd consider it the start of WW3. RAAF is part of the 5 eyes

If they shoot down a hornet will you still consider it an attempt to intimidate?

The RAAF is baxk flying sorties in Syria after Ruissian attempts to intimodate failhttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-40363333

For rainy serason, the weather in Cebu all week has been AMAZING. The dry season was SO RAINY, most days of Sinulog were wet. Now it is so sunny every day with just a brief shower art night.m

@Kadachiman none of this namby pamby stuff (Gormsby! hehe) you're very welcome if you want to join next game.

What a game, full on action for the entire 80 mins, only 2 points in it, decided in the final minutes. Bring on the final game 3 in 3 weeks. Woohoo!

Mate I haven't taken any notice of the NRL since Big Mal, Daley and Stewart played for the Raiders...hey but its not about the game, any excuse for a pissup

@Big geezer me too 100% mate. Jet-lag yes, and they were testing player combos 1st couple matches. I think the tests will be great, but hell Allblacks are so strong. I'd love to see the Lions remind them what losing is. We all have to be reminded of that from time to time.

@Kadachiman you're very welcome but traffic will be crap with this storm. Next game you're on, if you're serious.

I know the Lions didn't get off to a great start loosing 2 games already but they were give only 1 warm-up match and no time to get over the jet-lag.
