Never EVER bring up Australians because nothing puts people to sleep faster.

I told you that before.

Don't they look wonderful? These are the beasts. They can launch from their holding pattern at 40,000FT and hit targets 170 kms away. :lol:

All these toys, but they can't stop Kobane from falling. Either it is technically impossible to fight a land force in this way from the air, or else they want Kobane to fall into ISIL's hands.

Salih Muslim Muhammad, the leader of the Kurdish opposition in the Syrian Civil War was in Turkey at the weekend trying to win support for Kobane, but he refused to meet the three preconditions before a government delegation would meet him: to disassociate himself from the Assad regime, to refrain from any policy that will threaten the security of Turkey's borders at and not to insist on any kind of autonomous government -so the meting did not take place.

Apparently, the leader of the Kurdish separatist movement in Turkey, Abdullah Öcalan, has said that the ongoing peace process to solve the Kurdish problem in Turkey will end if Kobane falls.

A confused BBC reporter speaking on the ground this morning from the Turkish border overlooking Kobane said the reason Turkey had difficulty stepping in and saving Kobane had to do with the bad blood created during the long Kurdish guerrilla war in Turkey. I say this is nonsense. When will these people see the reality that Erdoğan and his gang are systematically and ruthlessly Islamising a secular country - they are not the "cuddly, moderate Islamists" the Western media portrays them to be. That is why they sympathise with ISIL - because their ultimate goal is the same. It is just ISIL forces people into the Middle Ages overnight and beheads or crucifies anybody who refuses to comply. In Turkey, the AKP is doing it a bit more gradually.

Let's hope not because if Kobane Falls, we will see one of the biggest Genocides in many years against the Kurds.

The coalition has been very surgical for the moment, but if people are about to be openly slaughtered then things might change.

Tim, I have no doubt that ISIS will be defeated, but in Syria, it's going to take time, unless they deploy troops. Methinks the calls for boots on the ground will grow louder and louder.
