| [Hurriyet Daily News] The U.S. State Department denied there was an agreement between Washington and Ankara on terms for a "safe zone" inside northern Syria where the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) hard boyz would be kept out. Turkish Foreign Ministry undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu reportedly said that the two countries had agreed to create a 98 km (61 miles) long and 45 km wide area to be patrolled by members of the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... . The safe zone would allow U.S. and Turkish forces to hit ISIL and Kurdish hard boyz if they entered the area, the CNNTurk broadcaster quoted Sinirlioglu as saying on Aug. 11. In a later statement, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's foreign ministry quoted the undersecretary as saying: "The control and protection of this region cleared of [ISIL] will be conducted by Syrian opposition forces and the necessary air defense and support for this ... will be provided by the U.S. and Turkey." Asked about the report, however, U.S. State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said, "There's no agreement on some kind of zone." Toner said he had not seen the Turkish official's remarks and could not address them. "I'm not denying his claims," he added. "We've been pretty clear from the podium and elsewhere saying there's no zone, no safe haven, we're not talking about that here. What we're talking about is a sustained effort to drive ISIL out of the region," Toner said in a news briefing. |
