Turkish Jets Appear to Assist ISIS Attack Against Syrian Kurds
2015-07-31
The Turkish aircrafts today between nine and eleven o'clock in the morning fly over Sarrin town and KobanĂŽ city at the same time ISIS attacked Sarrin town, also a group of ISIS entered into Sarrin town targeted our units sites and seven of our fighters martyred. Therefore, we call the Turkish state to clarify this matter and the reason for the flight of their aircraft in the skies of the region.

#9  ISIS/ISIL = Fascists = Right-wing Nationalists; PKK = Kurds = Marxists-Communists = Left-wing Secularists/Separatists.

#8  Turkey is NOT a friend or ally of the USA no matter what the dip shits in State dream.

Actually it was elements at State that scuttled the negotiations by 'leaking' to the media.

#6  Payback to ISJV for Obama/Kerry re-arming Team Assad?

Turkey gets some acreage, continued ISJV turnpike charges, okiedokie to kill Kurds?

I said at the beginning of this the Kurds should lay down a wet line and get Kurdistan internationally supported/recognized. Turks trying to close that window, IMHO Iran to start operations and Iraq to secure holdings on agreement nobody makes TV waves doing so.

#5  The recent discussions in Iraq which seem to imply Iraq setting the Kurdish region off as a sovereign country in exchange for Kurdish "expertise" in dealing with ISIS has probably caused this.

The Turks DO NOT want a greater Kurdistan because it would mean surrendering a large chunk of Turkey to the Kurds.

Because the Turks hate everyone including themselves, they cannot stand the idea of the Kurds having a homeland.

#2  Turkey and U.S. Plan to Create Syria ‘Safe Zone’ Free of ISIS.

Free of Kurds as well, so it would appear. More Obama regime secret negotiations and Chicago deal making.

#1  Not good actors. Remember this:
: The 4th was initially ordered to deploy in January 2003 before the war began, but did not arrive in Kuwait until late March. The delay was caused by the inability of the United States and Turkey to reach an agreement over using Turkish military bases to gain access to northern Iraq, where the division was originally planned to be located.
This let the Saddam folks and Jihadist melt away with arms to continue the struggle.

Turkey is NOT a friend or ally of the USA no matter what the dip shits in State dream.
