Links For The Ides Of March

On the anniversary of the stabbing death of Julius Caesar, here are some things being reported today:

From Gateway Pundit, the public debt accumulated during the Obama presidency of just over six years has just passed the total run up under all other presidents combined.  This accomplishment (to use the term loosely) is particularly staggering considering that the previous total would include the trillions in debt racked up during the eight years of Bush the Younger.

From The Muslim Issue, due to the civil war and campaigns by ISIS, the lights have gone out in Syria.

From Gulfnews, aid workers in Syria voice their frustration.

From the Chicago Tribune, Iraqi Kurds claim to have evidence that ISIS has used chemical weapons.  Interesting how that WMD which wasn't there in Iraq during the Bush years keeps turning up.

From The Counter Jihad Report, the United States closes their embassy in Saudi Arabia due to concerns about ISIS, and lots of links.

From Breitbart's The Wires, a man formerly held hostage by ISIS describes their mock executions.

From International Business Times, Secretary of State John Kerry says that the U.S. will have to negotiate with Syria's president.

From the Washington Examiner, the Organization of America States, whose headquarters is about 400 yards from the White House, is about to choose their next secretary general, for which there is only one candidate.

From The Daily Caller, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) calls criticism of the letter signed by 47 GOP senators to Iran's government "selective outrage".

From AOL, the White House warns Congress to "stand down from interference" with the negotiations with Iran.

From the Daily Herald, Wall Street bonuses increased by 3% in 2014.

From Fox News, officials say that the U.S. might be keeping more troops in Afghanistan than previously planned.

From Yahoo News, suicide bombers kill 14 Christians in Lahore, Pakistan.

From The Weekly Standard, the House will reportedly start an investigation of former Secretary of state Hillary Clinton's email practices.

From MSN News, three people in Kansas have died from eating contaminated ice cream.

And from PJ Tatler, leftwing Canadians react to their government's new anti-terrorism bill.
