The United States and Turkey are closing in on a deal that will allow the U.S. military and allied forces to use Turkish air bases in their campaign against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants in Syria, the Wall Street Journal reported Dec. 1.
The newspaper, citing U.S. and Turkish officials, said the agreement could include a safe zone along a portion of the Syrian border to protect refugees and certain opposition forces that would also “be off-limits” to aircraft from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
Allowing the United States and its allies to use Turkey’s bases would allow the coalition forces another foothold from which to launch continued strikes against the militants.
Turkey has agreed to allow 2,000 opposition fighters to be trained within its borders and has sent Turkish special forces to Iraq to train Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, the report said.
According to the WSJ, the agreement moves away from a larger formal “no fly” zone sought by Turkish officials covering a wider swath of northern Syria.
The paper also said Turkish officials are considering invoking Ankara’s right to self-defense under the United Nations charter by writing to the U.N. in order to justify the use of its bases. That could allow other North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to join the fight against Islamic State militants, it said.
US out of Turkey, Turkey out of NATO.
ISIS and Turkey are closing in on a deal that will allow the ISIS military and allied forces to use Turkish bases in their campaign against Iraq and Syria.
Oopps sorry they already doing that.
Never mind.
So how much are we paying Turkey? They don’t do anything for the USA for nothing.
look for the rebuilding of babylon right after
Why do we need a deal with our NATO “ally” to use air bases? Isn’t NATO the “deal”???
the agreement could include a safe zone along a portion of the Syrian border to protect refugees and certain opposition forces that would also “be off-limits” to aircraft from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
I imagine IS will try and flood the zone for protection.
Babylon will never be rebuilt. God said so.
Unfortunately every country courted by the US State Department know with everyday they can extend negotiations means more dollars the US will put up to get their signature. I suspect Kerry and Clinton have given the most of all and received the least. State is known in international circles as a cash cow.
“So how much are we paying Turkey? They don’t do anything for the USA for nothing.”

I’m not sure how much the Obama regime is paying Turkey to put those knives in our back. But the knives are accumulating.

There is NO WAY any of that happened to Babylon...YET...
Jack Van Impe once said Rev 18 was about the USA...
I doubt it, but he had a point...
and by the time Saddam Hussein came to power it had been reduced to archaeological ruins.

Active Duty ping.
We’re dealing with muzzies, that’s why.
And then we’ll just have to wait if they keep their taqiyya promises.
We never learn, do we?
thats why he was rebuilding it, and making new buildings
and people go there on tourist trips, too
still sound anything like prophesy?

The initial destruction of the literal Babylon represents the future judgment of the world under Satan destroyed in the wrath of the LORD of hosts. I think my propensity to see the literal as examples of the spiritual causes misunderstanding. I also believe the abomination that causes desolation will be child/human sacrifice.
Love global security...
“In the fertile Mesopotamian plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern Iraq, is a mound, or tell, of broken mud-brick buildings and debris. This is all that remains of the ancient famed city of Babylon.”
cool pictures of the troops
most believe that abomination is the anti-christ declaring himself a the messiah or God himself
remember, there was NO ISRAEL for almost 2000 years...
I do, no longer, believe Babylon will be built in any quick time period, I am looking at 50 more years
Israel is the key (called the center of the world in Ezekiel) and why the nation was invaded by Babylon the first time. When were the first calls to repentance made by Isaiah? During the reign of Manasseh who burned his son alive and cut Isaiah in half. Manasseh did repent, but God did not forgive the nation.
It will be 40 years of child sacrifice for Israel in 2017. God was describing Israels betrayal in the OT and said they were acting out in worse ways than their neighbors. God is patient, waiting for us to stop our abominations not make them worse. I don’t see any reason for another 50 years of human sacrifice being allowed to continue.
