Kurds could ‘lose US support if they don’t retreat,’ says Biden
2016-08-25
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
called on Syrian Kurdish forces to "move back across the Euphrates River," at a joint presser with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim in Ankara on Wednesday, warning them they will lose US support if they don’t.

"They cannot - will not - under any circumstance get American support if they do not keep that commitment," said Biden.

Biden indirectly expressed support for the Turkish operation launched Wednesday to clear ISIS bandidos bandidos Lion of Islams from the town of Jarablus and deter Kurds from further expanding in northern Syria.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, Buford bit the snake and Eloise began speaking in tongues...
Yildirim said that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
would not accept the creation of a new Kurdish entity inside Syria and its territorial integrity must be maintained. The premier added that a joint solution must be found to end the crisis in war-torn country.

Yildirim, meanwhile, vowed that the Turkish operation in Syria will go on until Kurdish rebels move east of the Euphrates.

He said in an interview broadcast live on news channel HaberTurk that Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

’s government could not be ignored if a political solution to Syria’s multi-sided conflict was to be found.

#3  The Obama sellout to the Iranians and the Turk version of the MB continues. The Kurds, our only true allies in the region, get stabbed in the back.

The US government disgusts anyone that loves liberty.

#2  "The [Kurds]cannot - will not - under any circumstance get American support if they do not keep that commitment," said Biden.
--For anyone following developments in Kurdistan Biden's comment is laughable. "American support" began as a trickle, and will continue that way only so long as Kurd leadership allows the presence of a US military/CIA base north of Irbil.
