true sica Kurds are claiming their own country, inside Turkey they have killed Turks for this |

It's a very difficult situation for Erdogan as it happens - Turkish public opinion would be ambivalent at best about him helping out the Kurds, and of course there is Turkey's own Islamic population to consider when taking up arms against this ISIS mob.
The Turks and Kurds have long fought each other since Ataturk stymied the Bitish plan to create an independent Kurdistan after the Great War by simply annexing the territory proposed for that country. The Kurds fought a long war against Turkey, in which tens of thousands of people were killed and millions displaced. Ultimately, Turkey will be compelled to take up arms. They may prevaricate, but their own self-interest will make the decision for them. |

I have no time for Islam EbulGery, at least not the Islam practised in much of the modern Islamic world. Sadly, the idea of Jihad espoused by Qtub seems to have won the day among Sunnis, which is why they pose such a clear and present danger to the peace of the world.
And in Iraq, we should be doing everything we can, including boots on the ground, to destroy as many of these ISIS loons as possible, and as quickly as possible. That is not possible in Syria however, as boots on the ground would constitute an invasion, which is illegal under International law. Finally, it is not our job to police Turkey's borders, particularly given the advanced and modern weaponry and training of the Turkish Armed Forces. It is Turkey's job. As I said above, it may not be a job they savour, but it is nonetheless their job. |

One would hope that they perform better than the Iraqi army did. They fled before IS forces and, the biggest sin of all, they didn't destroy their heavy weapons! They should never have been left in working condition.

The reason the heavy weapons were'nt destroyed is because most of the Iraqi army joined the 'enemy'..

Latest Kurds are holding
I imagine SAS and American special forces will be in advance positions identifying IS targets for our aircraft |

By:
I think you are right Guinness, the Sunni members of the Iraq army would have gone over to IS
The remaining Shia elements of the Iraq army are not standing against IS, that is the problem |

cant see them ( kurds ) holding out on a reliance of air attacks alone. it seems they have a lack of heavy weapons and are asking
anyone who will listen for more arms. they seem to have been left out to dry, i just hope the air attacks hit their targets and cause more damage than first thought... |

By:
Thanks G2D and Ebul. That does explain how their size grew so fast and how they got the weaponry. Hardly a trustworthy bunch of chaps, are they?
Maybe next time they should not be allowed to just go home. |

By:
US now admitting air attacks may not be enough Glasgow
the lack of heavy weapons would explain that |
