Meanwhile, the White House doesn't know how to deal with this new problem in the Middle East.

Captain Obvious...Please pick up the white courtesy phone! My morning chuckle!

Amazing that when Iraq speaks, Iran’s lips don’t move...

Seriously, if Obama can’t get 2 nominal US allies to ‘play nice’ then what good is he? (I know... useless)

"The country's foreign minister added that, if necessary, Iraq is willing to respond with force to the continued provocation. "

This was my daily chuckle here. They couldn't keep ISIS from overrunning everywhere they wanted but they will use force to kick Turkey out.

As Spongebob would say - "Well... Good luck with that!"

Considering Turkey is bankrolling ISIS, I don’t blame them.

If we had a real leader they’d tell off the Sultan-wannabe that NATO isn’t going to war over their support of jihadis.

There are millions of Turks who truly hate Erdogan. There are millions of Kurdish Turks who hate Erdogan. I just don’t see this ending well for his party.

On the other hand, Turkey is right that Iraq looks stupid trying to force Turkey to leave a part of their country that Iraq gave to ISIS without much of a fight.

So if Iraq attacks Turkish forces, does that mean NATO is attacked as well????

Turks are a disgrace with a massive chip on their shoulders. They are causing a lot of crap right now and should be kicked out of NATO.

They have been for years going into Greek airspace, and now going into Iraq.

In response to the threats from Iraq, Turkish prime minister DavutoÄŸlu shot back, saying that Iraq has no right to tell Turkey what to do since it doesn't control up to a third of its own territory.

One of the classic excuses for war, and not without some merit.

We could claim the same of Mexico.
