As Kurdish rebels (Kurds) in northern Syria rack up wins against the Islamic State group, Turkish media is abuzz with talk of a long-debated military intervention to push the Islamic militants (Kurds) back from the Turkish border.

Am I reading this right, Turkey government debating to attack the Kurds?

"You had ISIS fighters walking within 10 feet (3 meters) of the border, smiling and waving at Turkish border guards" (Turkey is a NATO member)

Obama will be sending weapons to TURKEY soon. I have a feeling Obama hates the Kurds. They are everything he doesn’t like. Fierce, fearless, independent, resourceful, and fight militant Islam.

If the Kurds in Iraq cross the Turkish border to fight ISIS, will NATO have to step in and defend Turkey and ISIS against the Kurds?

My head is spinning.
