#2 Pappy, according to An Nahar this morning, the timing is "sometime next week."

"The forces that will be sent are support forces and their number will not exceed 200 fighters," Halgord Hekmat, spokesman for the Kurdish ministry responsible for the peshmerga, told Agence France-Presse.

"We are not able to specify the day but it will definitely be during the next week," he added.

The peshmerga fighters will be armed with automatic weapons, mortars and rocket launchers, Hekmat said, declining to specify what route they would take.

They will likely pass through Turkey, which said this week it would allow peshmerga to do so to relieve the town's defenders.

#4 "Oh, sorry we didn't respond to your 911 emergency with four intruders in your house. We'll make it up to you by not charging for your garbage pickup - which must still be seperated."

#5 according to An Nahar this morning, the timing is "sometime next week"

Meaning that they're still trying to find a time window when they're not sending IS fighters across?

#6 Big money to be made with a time-share, especially when the occupants can out-bid each other for prime time.

There was an opportunity to check or even oust Erdy during his crack-down and subsequent protests. Is invading the Hellespont an option?
