[Aljazeera] NATO ambassadors hold rare emergency meeting to review threat ISIL poses to Turkey amid country's tensions with Kurds. [AlJazeera] The recent spate of attacks on Turkish soil heightens concern for its stability. NATO ambassadors have held a rare emergency meeting to review the threat ISIL poses to Turkey. It called the meeting to talk about the growing instability on its southern border. Up until now, Turkey has been reluctant to get involved in the US-led coalition fight against ISIL. However, things have changed. Now Turkey is launching attacks inside Syria against ISIL and in northern Iraq against the Kurdish armed group, PKK. It has also discussed a plan with the US to create a so-called buffer zone along its border with Syria.

#3 Ditto OS & Steve. I'm figuring the Turkey will try to take the lead on a third posse of foul Muzzies joining up with ISIS and maybe Al-Q or some of the smaller loser groups. Where do the Chechans line up? |

#1 Erdogan gets all the help he gave the US when we wanted to land an infantry division and take on the northern and western parts of Iraq (coincidentally where the resistance was the worst and where ISIS is now running things) back when OIF kicked off - which is basically none. Fuck you Erdogan and Turkey. Some of us remember. Support Kurdistan - carve it out of southeastern Turky. |
