The above is jejo's best post ever.

Made me laugh, that's for sure.

I nominate it for post of the year.

In case that was hard to follow:

What about the Russia, China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Al Quada, Kurdish dimension as well? Complicated, isn't it?

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

It's a curious thing, but true. The "Islamist" supporters in the UK are full of criticism for the West, yet somehow they can't quite bring themselves to emigrate, at least permanently, to an Islamic paradise like Pakistan, Saudi, or Yemen. Odd, isn't it?

@Jejo68 :)
I showed your post to a Belgian friend of mine today. Speaking from experience - she dated a Qatari diplomat for a while - and commented how accurate (less so the last donkey smelling bit, but otherwise on the money) your post was, whether in jest or not.
+1
I can also think of at least another friend in France, one in Denmark, several in the UK, US, and Canada who would agree with the basic message.
