Obama’s strategy is to “degrade” ISIS from JV to frosh/soph.

In that case, hello Republic of Kurdistan!

Erdogan can take his Neo-Ottoman dream and GTH.

Obviously this is Bush's fault, since he squandered all that world respect for the US and went into Iraq alone.

great ally and NATO member

That they've let ISIS roam free and even use Turkish medical services is disturbing.

Turkey's got a problem. A big chunk of Turkey is Kurdish, and the US is upgrading the Pershmega who I'd think will before long use their new skills and weapons to build a bigger, better Kurdistan. That would have the US allied with both sides (Turkey and the Kurds) and still arming the "friendly rebels" in Syria. YIKES!

Meanwhile, on the Black Sea, the Kiev gov is creating chaos. If Russia doesn't prevail there, what's to stop radical Islam's spread into eastern Europe through Ukraine?

It's hard to imagine how this ends well, unless the US does a 180 and supports Assad and stops doing what the Saudis, Kuwait and Qatar want.

Meanwhile, AP reports this (in the 2nd paragraph) of an article entitled:

"US, Arab allies committed to fighting extremists"

Laughable. These liberal idiots just never got it did they? GWB, Rummy, Cheney took us into Iraq for a lot of reasons, the #1 being location and strategery and never having to beg for airbase privileges again. Of course, Obama gave it back because BinLaden was dead, the Arab Spring had arrived and GM was alive. The blood and treasure wasted.

Turkey is being careful because ISIS holds forty some Turkish diplomats hostage. And Erdogan is far more comfortable with the Moslem Brotherhood and other Islamsists movements than is healthy from a pro-democracy point of view.

Islamic Turkey knows that a fight against ISIS is a fight against Islam.

Everyone who wants to be in a coalition with Barack Obama, raise your hand.
