#1 Sounds like a good place to carve out a new country for the kurds around there.

#3 Wouldn't be surprised if the Turks close the border crossing to Kobane for "security reasons."

(Won't stop the IS from getting across the border, tho...)

#4 Kurdish defenders had pushed ISIS our of the Southern front in the city of Kobane last week. They then established observation posts on a major hill over looking the Southern area of Kobane and the supply routes to the Eastern Front in Kobane.

Several of the young men and women Kurdish fighters you have seen in my posts during the past 3 months have been martyred. The Kurds expected it to take 4 months to liberate Kobane. Precisely the time frame.
*
Tomorrow the Kurds will hold an official ceremony of the liberation.

#7 For a number of ISJVihadis, their private parts is their mouth. For a goodly number others, well, the flagpole would be planted.
