Turkish Intelligence Chief: Putin's Intervention in Syria is Against Islam <-- You won't believe this Turkish Islamic clown! :lol:
"ISIS is a reality and we have to accept that we cannot eradicate a well-organized and popular establishment such as the Islamic State; therefore I urge my western colleagues to revise their mindset about Islamic political currents, put aside their cynical mentalité and thwart Vladimir Putin's plans to crush Syrian Islamist revolutionaries," Anadolu News Agency quoted Mr. Fidan as saying on Sunday.

Fidan further added that in order to deal with the vast number of foreign Jihadists craving to travel to Syria, it is imperative that ISIS must set up a consulate or at least a political office in Istanbul. He underlined that it is Turkey's firm belief to provide medical care for all injured people fleeing Russian ruthless airstrikes regardless of their political or religious affiliation.

Why would he even say that when only 3 Russian bombs have fallen on ISIL controlled areas?

Maybe he was referring to FSA, and Islamic Front who copped the brunt. Is this some creative journalism again?

Yes I think so. The Turks and Qataris were referring to the FSA you bullshit artist. No other news agency has picked up these alleged "controversial" statements.

Three Russian bombs? .... are you counting the 26 Cruise missiles as well or do you believe they all crashed in Iran without anybody noticing it ....... like one of the 'US's super-doper-all-seeing-satellites' that just managed to miss the one that bought down MH17? That's 3 more bombs than the US and their allies have managed so far (I don't need proof to make that statement do I?)..... Paphitis my friend, your statements get more incredible by the day. :(

You mean the 26 Cruise Missiles that could have gone anywhere and not hit much at all since we know 6 fell on Iran?

Criminal report is not out yet and yes, they do know exactly the location of where this Missile that downed MH17 was launched. They also know the exact launcher responsible and they also know it withdrew back into Russia.

C'mon RH. I am really surprised you think we have not dropped any bombs on ISIS. We dropped tonnes and tonnes and there is even video evidence from residents of Raqqa who post anonymous videos on Twitter and Facebook at great risk to themselves.

No .... you have READ that 4 fell on Iran, that figure grows apparently as you say it is now 6. Obviously they present no threat to US ships in the Gulf then, if they are that useless ....... but the US decided to move its Battle fleets out of harms way anyway! They obviously are not as confident as you on the inaccuracy of Russian missiles?

Yes I saw several of the videos ..... unfortunately it was being transported on several different vehicles, at different times of the day and in several different locations ........... and very strangely nobody managed to get a photo of the command vehicle, without which the BUK system is virtually useless! Believe me .... if the Yanks had the proof they would have released it (if it supported their claim) or it will be withheld to protect US National security, if it doesn’t. But I am sure Putin has his satellite pictures as well to use in his defence ......... but of course this will inevitably be declared to be just propaganda, lies and conspiracy theory!

It was tongue in cheek but, ......... what seems to be missing from your argument is that any action by coalition forces in Syria is ILLEGAL under International Law, as is supplying weapons to an irregular military trying to overthrow the recognised government of Syria. The US and the Allies have one reason to do that and that is to achieve Regime change ...... which is also illegal under International Law.

One reason I oppose US actions is because of their arrogance in declaring themselves to be the ‘irreplaceable and exceptional’ Nation. Which roughly translated says ‘F**k you lot .... we are THE Mighty USA and do what we want because we are above the Law.’

When you read the ‘comments’ section after any article in the MSM or independent news outlets, I find you get a fairly reasonable and realistic impression of what ordinary people think and from what I see the vast majority of the comments support Putin and his action against ALL terrorist in Syria! :roll: :wink:

Oh yes right. 4 Russian Cruise Missiles fell on Iran. Did the others hit their targets? You got to wonder but I bet the Americans know the answer to that.

Don't know where you get your information from. The coalition are flying hundreds of sorties each day in both Iraq and Syria. The 6th fleet is still to the East of Cyprus where it's always been and they have been joined by other ships from UK, Canada, France, Italy, Australia and Spain.

I wasn't talking about any videos. I am sure no one has seen the evidence which points the finger to Russia apart from Dutch investigators and perhaps a few leaders of ally nations like UK for instance.

Yes I am sure Pootin has his Satellite pictures too but he has never released any because they would incriminate themselves. But aside from this, these are not images you would release to the press like happy snaps.

Well lucky for us, we are not operating within Syrian Controlled areas. it only takes our planes about 2 minutes to fly over their airspace now. If it makes you feel better, we will stop violating International Law and just keep bombing DAESH like we always have. DEAL?

That's not true! They have made no such declarations or acted unilaterally, and if anything Obama seems to have taken a much more softer approach and avoided getting too involved in Syria. But now that Russia is there, we will turn our focus to being the FSA's arms suppliers.

Most people have no clue what is going on or about the big power plays in the background.

At the moment, Pootin may have duped the uninformed and has even got some popularity because some still think he is bombing DAESH, but in my experience, this will quickly subside when reality hits you all between the eyes and hit you between the eyes it will.

We are quite prepared for what will come next. Let's just hope for the sake of the Syrian People, Pootin knows it too and is negotiating in the background for a political settlement which will have to involve the rebel groups, Sunnis and Kurds.

Otherwise, all I can say is welcome to HELL! :wink:
