America's top military general said Tuesday that he is worried the ISIS terror army will soon seize the town of Kobane, a strategically critical Syrian site less than a mile from Turkey. Gen. Martin Dempsey, who chairs the military Joint Chiefs of Staff, said 'I am fearful that Kobane will fall.' Forces fighting for the self-declared Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham have pressed their way 'into the city itself,' he told ABC News. 'It may be about to fall.' And Dempsey said he has 'no doubt' that ISIS will inflict 'horrific atrocities' on any civilians still in the town 'if they have the opportunity to do so.'

I hope Turkey gets what’s coming to it.
Not to worry, we have “Smart Policy”.
Yeah...and “leading from behind”
Obama shares that fear so much he’s doubled his DNC fundraising appearances.
Our top US generals should be fearless not fearful.
Turkey's in NATO. Turkey does not want a powerful Kurdish minority looking for independence to join Iraq's Kurds. US policy is supporting Kurds.
Won't it be fun when by treaty US military might is used on Turkey's side to fight against ISIS, which was funded, trained, and armed by the US? And we're still working for Assad's downfall!

Okay. And?? Gotta ask. So what? Who cares? We already spent over 10 years there wasting lives by NOT FIGHTING A WAR, so now we should go back in with troops and NOT FIGHT A WAR again?
NO................
Fearful and tearful....
Just a bunch of Christian and Kurdish children who will be beheaded and their heads placed on pikes in a park. These demons lust for our blood and that of OUR children.
Oh, and 10 ISIS terrorists were apprehended at the southern border recently.
Dempsey said he has ‘no doubt’ that ISIS will inflict ‘horrific atrocities’ on any civilians still in the town. (They are standing by patiently for this policy goal to be achieved.)
(Turkey’s) “got forces on their side of the border that will prevent ISIL from making any incursions into Turkey” (except for medical treatment, ammo resupply, shopping or entertainment)
