As a variety of Kurdish forces continue containing the Islamic State’s (ISIS/ISIL/IS) advance in Syria and Iraq, leaders are becoming increasingly vocal about the establishment of an independent Kurdistan, with some sources close to the ground telling Fox News that Kurds are dedicated to the formation of a new state–“whether the U.S. likes it or not.”
Security sources speaking to Fox News note that the Kurdish forces–the YPG/YPJ in Syria and the Peshmerga in Iraq–have made significant advances in the past months, keeping ISIS from recapturing the Turkish border town of Kobani and even making inroads in Raqqa province, home to the Islamic State’s “capital” city. They have been significantly more successful against the Sunni jihadist group than the official Iraqi army or the vestiges of what was once Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s military, and authorities suggest they are now intent on capturing the Iraqi city of Kirkuk and beginning to establish a state.

The Kurds have also been taking in Christians and Yazidi that the other nations neglected.
They are becoming the truly tolerant multi-cultural free state in the Arab world, a second Israel.

Too bad Obama is turning potential allies against us everywhere by his seeming support for Jihadists.

I will state the obvious: 0bama's allies are Turkey and Persia. He will not stand for a Kurdish (PKK or anyone else) homeland.
On a side note, I can see Gog and Magog forming as I type...

Russian and Iran....laughed at throughout history.....now look at them.....peas in a pod.....in spite of the tension between Muslims and the Putin Russkies....and be doggoned if the Bible wasn't ahead of the curve again.

If the Kurds attempt to form a state Obama will send in 100,000 American troops to crush the state. Among the directives that Obama will issue will be one that states that once Kurdistan is crushed, American troops are not to interfere with any actions (aktionen) taken by Turks or Iranians against the Kurdish population. If they complain to Washington about the actions they will be told that this is a security (sicherheits) matter and to ignore it or live with it. And the perfumed princes at the top will ignore it.

Good afternoon.
and be doggoned if the Bible wasn't ahead of the curve again.
I will say this for discussion purposes: The Bible, "unfortunately," has been correct again, and again,...and will be in the future.
To the glory of G-d, amen.

They just need to remember that when they do Turkey is going to invade it. That’s why we didn’t go with that plan before. I’m totally cool with them having a state, especially if they kick Turkey’s ass in the process, but they need to know it’s gonna start a bit rough.

There are a lot of things to choose from
but 0bama’s refusal to arm the Kurds is
one of the most cowardly acts of his presidency.

That’s why the perfumed princes have been installed at all major command levels. No coup, a simple yessir! And stand aside while the Turks and Iranians do their bloody business.
To: chajin
Our military is structured such that a coup is nearly impossible.
