File under: Islamic State

#1 Erdogan may have just triggered a civil war with a large portion of the population, in mountainous territory.

Turks were not that interested in border security with radical Islamists running guns and men into Syria, but now that its life or death for the Kurds needing resupply and reinforcement, Erdogans turks locked it down. Typical cowardly Turks, too gutless to take real action.

#2 Turkey passed a mandate for cross-border military operations in Syria and Iraq but has so far refused to join the military coalition against Islamic State or use force to protect Kobani and has resisted calls to allow the flow of weapons and volunteer fighters into the besieged town.

Wasn't that the Clinton plan?
