Turkey awaits US jets for broader ISIL operations
2015-07-31
[Hurriyet Daily News] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
awaits the U.S. air force units to arrive at the Incirlik air base for broader operations against the 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....
of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in Syria, a ranking Turkish official who asked not to be named told Hurriyet Daily News on July 30.

#5  No the US jets will be used vs ISIS so the turks (fuck them) can save thier jets and bombs for Kurds in Iraq.

We used to have a no-fly zone there to protect those folks. We need to set it up again and start dropping Turks once they cross the border.

#4  It would be interesting to know if the Incirlik base will be used to support the territorial integrity of Lebanon.
