“To my surprise some Turkish gendarmes intervened and started shooting at the jihadists,”
the farmer said. “That’s the first time I have seen them doing that.”

Interesting.

Sounds like a lot of “workplace violence” going on over there.

Monica Lewinsky blew the hell out of Bill Clinton, but he’s still with us, more’s the pity.

Air strikes are ineffective unless there are trained spotters imbedded in forward positions communicating with the pilots. Ordinarily Special Forces or trained CIA agents would be present. Its a good bet that some very brave Americans are currently serving with the Kurds trying to direct those strikes.

Maybe domestic political calculus in Turkey and America are driving them push off another genocide until after the American elections, and until after the Kurdish street protests can be put down in Turkey.

Blowing the hell out of them?

So our soldiers are gay?

GTF over yourself.

We have only performed 7 strikes in the last 24 hours.

That’s not at all like we are trying to wipe em out.

If we had a real president we would be vaporizing the ISLAMIC STATE thugs. Cluster bomb the hell out of them. Send in the B52 with tons of bomblettes. Arm the kurds to the teeth. Send in the Marines and wipe out any thug hiding in a spider hole. Then again if we had a real president.....

It worked so well staving off the “imminent attack” from the feared and mighty Khorasan. Not a peep from them. Al Qaeda is dead. The wannabe JV is soon to follow down history’s hellhole.

This week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Kobani’s fall was imminent, saying that U.S. airstrikes weren’t enough to save it and ground troops would be needed to stop the town falling into jihadist hands.

If Erdogan is so worried, why doesn't he defend the town?
