I am starting to get that sinking ROPE-A-DOPE feeling, AGAIN. I have lost track of what ROPE-A-DOPE round the U.S. is now in but the pending Rumble in the Syrian Arab Republic looks like it may be fixing to start in some form. Some recent U.S. ROPE-A-DOPE rounds in the Islamic world; Beirut, Somalia, Afghanistan War, Iraq War, Libya TBD, Egypt TBD, Syria TBD.
