Despite these differences, administration officials have repeatedly underlined areas of agreement with Turkey, describing it as a committed and very valued member of the anti-ISIS coalition.
Anyone got a bridge for sale, 0bama and Kerry are buying.

The title should have said they rejected a personal appeal by fundraiser in chief. Our community activist has as much creds with our “allies” as I do with Putin.

I believe if the truth were known 0bama and Erdogan are in perfect agreement about ISIS, they support them.

Only with Obolo in the White Hut can Turkey reject or veto any US plan to arm the Syrian Kurds.

A president with (guts) would tell Erdogan ‘Either you go after ISIS, or we arm the Kurds, and won’t ask questions about where some of the weapons end up’.
PKK are bad guys, but so is Erdogan’s crowd.

“...The main Syrian Kurdish group defending the strategic border town of Kobani against an ISIS assault is the Democratic Union Party (PYD), a secularist organization...”
****************************************************************************************************
The fact that it is Kurdish is enough to want Turkey to see those defenders destroyed. The fact that they are also “secularist” just adds to the Turkish Islamist Government’s hatred of them and is, IMHO, one of the reasons why the Obama regime (with its stash of Muslim Brotherhood connected individuals in the White House & administration) has been so INCREDIBLY SLOW to allow the American military to provide EFFECTIVE assistance to those Kurds.

Erdogan is a snake in the grass. He hates the Kurds and will not be a part of any US effort. Turkey has historically been called “ the sick man of Europe” because of its incalcitrance in behaving by anybodys standards among many other problematic qualities. And to think it is a member of NATO is a joke. Turkey would be a problem in any conflict and now you see why—Erdogan for one.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf confirmed that a U.S. official had several days earlier held a first direct meeting with a PYD representative. Although the PKK is a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization, Harf said its links to the PYD would not deter the U.S. from meeting with the Syrian Kurdish group. She also said the U.S. was not now arming the PYD, but declined to rule anything in or out in that regard. The PYD is for us equal to the PKK, Turkeys Anadolu state news agency quoted Erdogan as saying on Sunday. It is a terror organization. It would be wrong for the United States, with whom we are friends and allies in NATO, to talk openly and to expect us to say yes to such a support to a terrorist organization, he added. It cannot expect such a thing from us and we cannot say yes to such a thing either.

Well, if you are our friends and allies, then commit to getting rid of ISIS and commit against Islamic extremism.

Turkey will never get the Kurds back to coexistence with Turkey. The image of Turkish troops on a hill, watching ISIS attack Kobane, was just too much.
This reinforces one fact....we are on the wrong side, doing SaudiArabia and Turkeys dirty work to oust Assad.

The Turks and the Arabs are proving that the Kurds are right to demand independence.
