Yesterday, Barack Obama stated, “Turkey needs to be involved in coalition against ISIS.”
On Thursday Turkey said it will not allow the US to use its airbases to fight ISIS.

I heard this over an hour ago. So much for Obama’s “coalition”.
Is there anyone or anything that doesn’t refuse O?
Gee what a surprise. I thought Obama was beloved all around the world. How dare Turkey deny him. (sarcasm added)
Which Obama knew to begin with. Now he has an excuse not to....’Optics’ you see. He tried but oh well...
Let me guess: We built those air bases.
Great ally and NATO member.
Looks like the Coalition of the Unwilling is the one that is growing...
So, Turkey fears ISIS as well while believing that Zero will not stop them.
I still believe ISIS is a Turk/Saudi/State project. They may have slipped their moorings and now require “managing”. Which evidently Turkey is unwilling to be part of.
The Saudis have no qualms about it once they’ve outlived their usefulness. And Obama is willing to do it if he can, first, make it plain that he doesn’t consider them to be fellow muslims, and second, he can raise up another ISIS to replace them.
we built them to protect Turkey from Russian attacks
Not to use them to bomb Assad (and thus allying with IS) and by proxy attacking Russia, too
Maybe Iran will let us? Syria?
What is the possibility that this “strategy” is going to be the cover used to furher detabilize the situation Syria? That would be a major reason other countries would balk.
Nice coalition you got going there 0bambi.
What’s that about the Arab Spring Reset thingie? Didn’t work out so hot? Aw shucks.
Idiot.
What happened to the bases we had in Iraq? Oh. Never mind.
Obama’s speech, all this posturing - Obama never had any intention of attacking ISIS or stopping the Caliphate.
Polls and public opinions have forced Obama to create a charade for public consumption and political polling.
This situation is simply a crisis Obama will not let go to waste, so he will overly and covertly use it to arm those intending to overthrow secular dictator Bashar Assad in Syria.
What replaces him will be the Islamic State - what Obama intended to occur from Egypt to Syria all along.
The Islamic State is not Islamic yer Heinous???
The only sad truth of that comment is that a majority of emoting Americans will buy it.
The “Coalition of the Unwilling” is coming together.
Turkey is an ISIS sponsor.
