An American military source told Fox News that US military leaders were "outraged" when Turkey began launching airstrikes against the Kurdish PKK in northern Iraq just hours after striking a deal with the US opposing the Islamic State, the militant group also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh. A Turkish officer entered the allied headquarters in the air war against ISIS and "announced that the strike would begin in 10 minutes and he needed all allied jets flying above Iraq to move south of Mosul immediately," the source said.
"We were outraged."
The US special forces stationed in northern Iraq advising and training Kurdish peshmerga fighters had virtually no warning before Turkish jets started striking the mountains, where the PKK is headquartered.

That could be the 237th time we got skunked thinking we understood Muslims and could, just this once, trust them.
Your CIC is 0bama.
The Kurdish Peshmerga are the only force in the region who will defend Iraqi and Syrian Christians. I'd assume our CIC is OK with this.
But NOT outraged that the Pentagon finances
and weaponizes al Qaeda?
But NOT outraged that ISIS is invited into America?
Are any Americans who lived through 911 in the Pentagon?
All part of the plan, just like arming ISIS
Turkey exposes the farce that is post-Soviet NATO. Ankara is going to the dark side with the rest of the Islamic world.
I would have rather let the Soviets have Turkey than let them in NATO.
They sure didn’t make a peep about it
0bama’s actions towards the military have been outrageous for 6 years. They should be used to muzzies by now.
Turkey, the heart of the former Ottoman Empire. Muslims. Never to be trusted because their cult of death preaches that it is ok to deceive Christians. Turkey, just like the entire Muslim world, is the enemy.
If this was Reagan, we would have scrambled our jets, and told the Turks to return to base or be shot down.
They have been pissing on our shoes since 2003.
This is getting old.
In the meantime, the traitorous (there’s no other reasonable adjective) GOPe-controlled Congress does..................................................................................................... nothing.
The Turkish “Buffer/Safety Zone” in Syria announced today just happens to coincide with the areas of Syria held by the Kurdish YPG and PKK!
How Ironic!!!
“In the meantime, the traitorous (there’s no other reasonable adjective) GOPe-controlled Congress does..................................................................................................... nothing.”
In their defense, this really is above their pay-grade.
This is supposed to be handled by the President and State, if America had any real Leadership.
To quote BIlly Hayes in “Midnight Express”
” For a nation of pigs, it sures is funny you don’t eat’em! Jesus Christ forgave the bastards, but I can’t! I hate! I hate you! I hate your nation! And I hate your people! And I —— your sons and daughters because they’re pigs! You’re a pig! You’re all pigs.”
never trust a muslim...not worth the risk
The only Muslim one can trust is a dead one.(maybe)
Active Duty ping.
It is the repeated and complete failure of the GOPe-controlled Congress to impeach (or even demand the impeachment of) the Traitorobama regime for which the appropriate adjective of “traitorous” applies to each and every Congressman (including my own).
The GOPe-controlled Congress has betrayed and abandoned its loyalty to the United States of America.
