Syrian Kurds Sign Power-Sharing Deal To Draw More Support
2014-10-24
[Ynet] Syrian Kurdish factions have signed a deal to share power and set their rivalries aside to capitalize on growing international support for their fight against Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
bully boys.
Long past time if this was a real issue, but at least it's done.
The agreement was reached late on Wednesday after nine days of talks and coincided with a decision by Iraqi Kurdistan to send its own peshmerga forces to relieve fellow Kurds in the Syrian town of Kobani, under attack by Islamic State (IS).

#6  IRAN has repor already deployed IRGC + a full ARDIV wid Attack Helos, Arty to help the Kurds, + has deployed other forces just inside the Iraq border in case the ISIS gets any funny ideas about taking over the Shia Govt. in Baghdad or striking Iran.

#5  Top-notch PR, further points added when the opposing side is a bunch of goat humping barbarians.

ISJVs is effective, but it is as inspirational as carrion for the vultures. Their rag IS Squire is about dehghey.

What both sides have in their PR is honesty of cause. The USAs best seems to be hastags, which is sooperdeghey, and John Mufti Kerry et al who are so patently dishonest and flippy they couldn't build a message with Duplo blocks.

When choderboy says that journalists are western spys and therefore can be beheaded..I believe him. When the Kurds say fight the revelin of Kobane or die slaves..I believe them. When Kerry tells me the sun is out..I check at least three windows and then the forecast.

#4  Of course it would be disrespectful to the wonderful faith of Islam to showcase a few female USN fighter pilots, even if they never flew a single mission over ISIS.

#3  I saw in the article yesterday that IS/ISIS fighters believe they won't make it to paradise if they are slain by a woman in battle. Yes, clever PR.

#2  Is it just me, or the Kurds (Syrian at least) run a very smart PR?

#1  Symbol of that solidarity with Kobane Syrian Kurdish resistance fighters by a new generation of Kurds in the Middle East.
