Turkey doesn't want the Kurds to have their own country. But the Kurds are fighting ISIS and Turkey is also fighting ISIS. What is Turkey's standpoint, are they just saying they like Kurds but don't want the Kurds to have a country?

Also, Turkey is allowing the US to use their land to attack ISIS. Turkey also gives money to Hamas, which keeps attacking Israel, which is supposed to be our ally. Is America just going to ignore that?

Just because Turkey doesn't want the Kurds not to have there own country, doesn't mean that they want a group of terrorists (ISIS) to continue on with what they are doing.

As for your last sentence. Yep, well keep doing it. If its convenient to us, we mostly just turn our back on what someone else is doing.

Turkey's war with ISIS will be similar to Pakistan's war with Taliban.

In Pakistan, the Taliban that bomb Pakistani assets are called 'Bad Taliban' and they are fought against. The Taliban that bomb assets of other countries are called 'Good Taliban' and enjoy massive support amongst the Pakistani public. The 'Good Taliban' are after all wonderful Muslims who are waging jihad till the whole world submits to Islamic Law.

The Turks thought they had solved the Kurdish "Question" 100 years ago.

ISIS opened the door for the airborne attacks. The Turks look at the Kurds kind of like the North looked upon the South before the Civil War, they are supplying foreign currency to the nation so they are not allowed to leave and form their own country.

They really just want to attack the Kurds, attacking ISIS is to appease the west.

Seems those in charge are just waging war every where. It's time America wakes up and sees these wars are not protecting ANY country, it protects government $$$$$ and status in the world.

The Turks have literally kept the Syrian border wide open and allowed as many overseas jihadis to head into Syria to fight as is possible. This is because they are Israeli and American sock puppets who hate Assad more than al-Qaeda.

Most of the mainstream rags are now suggesting we come to terms with al-Qaeda to fight Assad. That is not a joke.

I agree with everything said on this thread. It is hard to understand the bombing of the kurds. The WH says the Turks have every right to do so............

That's essentially how you can know that it's not true. All decent, hard-working people pretty much say "Oh, Obama is for that thing? Then I guess I oppose it..."
