The Wall Street Journal
Captain America lays out the plan for the world's best military to join forces with the rest of the world to destroy ISIL. Apparently, the strongest military in the world "will rely on local forces in Iraq" to destroy ISIL, the same forces that have been so successful to date in holding back ISIL.
West Nile virus slams California; due in part to the severe drought. The risk, of course, is that West Nile virus could jeopardize building the bullet train, just as malaria jeopardized the Panama Canal. Well, maybe that's a stretch.

The Ukraine president says that most Russian troops have been withdrawn from eastern Ukraine.
France lowered its growth forecast again and warned it will need more time to bring its public deficit in line with European Union rules. Oh, boy.
