When Turkey cries for US air support, we need to remind then that we were not allowed to go over Turkish air space during the Iraqi war.

I.e, stick it up your @ss.

That won’t happen - Obama supports the Turkish agenda to arm jihadis to overthrow Assad.

“Did the US arm the FSA or not?”

It’s rather frustrating trying to describe whose who when most people use the logic:

-The US supported Britain during WWII
-Britain is part of Europe
-Nazi Germany was part of Europe
-The US supported the Nazis during WWII.

Too many ZeroHedge pro-Russia dupes and ignants on this board.

FWIW

The four major ME regional terrorist organizations are:
ISIS (Sunni)
Al Qaeda (Sunni)
Hezbollah (Shia)
Hamas (Shia)

Syria supports ME Shia terrorism.
Iran supports ME Shia terrorism.
Russia supports Syria and Iran

The US supports Iraq fight Sunni terrorism (ISIS and Al Qaeda) in Iraq.
The US supports the Syrian FSA (Sunni) fight Assad’s Syria, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranians and now, apparently Russians.

Notice we support local resistance to regional terror groups and influences whereas Russia supports regional terror organizations against local resistance and ISIS. Their only beef with ISIS is its threat to Assad. They’re leveraging their bombing to help not only Assad but Iranians in Iraq while boosting their own position in the region -for their benefit! This will greatly escalate the level of violence in the ME. Mark my words.

Like the Armenian genocide. I have a friend who comes from a family of Armenians.

The last Caliphate before the currently evolving one, I think.
