In reply to The Battle for Kobani, Whose side is Turkey on?

You haven't figured this out yet? There are 2 big proxy armies fighting in Syria:

Hezbollah - Shiite - fighting to save Assad

ISIS - Sunni - fighting to depose Assad

Erdogran is Sunni, wants to depose Assad, and hates Kurds.

ISIS is Sunni, wants to depose Assad, and hates Kurds.

Kurds are killing Turkey's proxy ISIS fighters in Kobani. Kurds are neutral on Assad.

So guess which side Erdogran is on in Kobani............? Figured it out....?

Erdogran has been trying to maneuver Obama to have the USAF act as the ISIS Air Force. They could use one.........Turkey has the 2nd largest Army in NATO and a huge air force, but Turkey wants to keep its hands clean, let others do the fighting, infidels when possible, as they (like the US) will be easy to kick out later as Turkey 'exerts influence' over Syria.

I just saw this too, future palace for The Caliphate, no, it is not from the Onion, but the Washington Post:

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan this week unveiled his new palace in the outskirts of the country's capital, Ankara. The gaudy residence boasts 1,000 rooms and apparently cost some $350 million to construct. Its total area, according to the AFP, encompasses some 2,150,000 square feet....one deputy said it made Moscow's Kremlin compound look "like an outhouse." It has almost 50 times the floor space of the White House.

These Middle Eastern despots make our politicians look like the Little League.

In reply to The Battle for Kobani, Whose side is Turkey on?

"Had Erdoğan chosen to help the Kurds trapped in Kobani rather than sealing them off, he might have strengthened the peace process between his government and the Turkish Kurds. Instead, his actions provoked protests and rioting by Kurds across Turkey; in towns and villages where there had been no Kurdish demonstrations in recent history tyres were burned and 44 people were killed. For the first time in two years, Turkish military aircraft struck at PKK positions in the south-east of the country. It appears that Erdoğan had thrown away one of the main achievements of his years in power: the beginnings of a negotiated end to the Kurdish armed insurgency."
