Apparently Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Erdogan is quite open about his support of ISIS now. Anyone trying to cross the Syrian border to assist the sieged city of Kobane (Kobani) will be shot. Anyone who rises in objection to Turkey watching the slaughter in Kobane will also be shot. So far Erdogan has killed 21 Turkish Kurds who have advocated against ISIS in support of Kobane.

Failing to support an Islamic State, a caliphate, will not be tolerated. Erdogan’s position is anyone who does not support ISIS is essentially anti-democracy – and he’ll kill you to prove it.

TURKEY – Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has defended his government on its policies on Syria, as the death toll in the worst street unrest in Turkey’s recent past hit 21.
[…] He also declared calls to hold rallies in support of Kobane to be “against democracy.”
Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel, deputy prime ministers Bülent Arınç, Ali Babacan and Yalçın Akdoğan, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Interior Minister Efkan Ala, National Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz were among the senior officials who attended the meeting. (more…)

Last night former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly he believes President Obama totally understands the situation in Syria and Iraq and will make “the right decisions”. A few hours later CNN reports the following headline:

Think about this from a few different perspectives.
First, what message does this approach send to our allies or, even more importantly, to ISIS?

Kurdish populations throughout Turkey are visibly angry at Prime Minister Erdogan and President Obama’s decision to stand by and watch their brothers and sisters slaughtered by ISIS in Kobane (Kobani) Syria.   The anger has the possibility of tearing apart a tenuous dynamic within Turkey…

Meanwhile Team Obama actually says: ‘meh, no biggie if 10,000 or so Syrian moderates are killed fighting ISIS, we’ve got a great plan to train and arm 5,000 over the next year’.

Wait, wha… no… huh?…

U.S. officials: Key Syrian border city of Kobani will fall to ISIS, but that's not a major U.S. concern. http://t.co/f67CIzD3yT

U.S. officials: “ISIS will capture Kobani, but it’s not a big concern to us“

TURKEY – […] The likely fall of Kobani may mark an irrevocable breach between Turks and Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. Many of the 30 million Kurds in the region believe that, if Kobani falls, it will be because Turkey refused to help its defenders as they faced repeated Isis assaults and cut them off from reinforcements and fresh supplies of weapons and ammunition. “We are besieged by Turkey, it is not something new,” said Ismet Sheikh Hassan, the Kurdish Defence Chief for the Kobani region.

As expected the Syrian Kurdish controlled city of Kobane (Kobani) -located near the border with Turkey- is about to fall into the hands of Sunni ISIS extremists, and Recep Erdogan is doing everything he can to insure it happens.

[…]  Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the coalition air campaign launched last month would not be enough to halt the Islamic State advance and called for greater cooperation with the Syrian opposition, which is fighting both the Islamic State and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.

“Kobani is about to fall,” he told Syrian refugees in the Turkish town of Gaziantep, near the border.

“We asked for three things: one, for a no-fly zone to be created; two, for a secure zone parallel to the region to be declared; and for the moderate opposition in Syria and Iraq to be trained and equipped.”

Turkish tanks and other ground forces have been stationed along the border within a few hundred meters of the fighting in Kobani — also known as Ayn Arab — but have not intervened.  (link)

For two weeks we have watched Erdogan do everything he can to facilitate the falling of Kobane into the hands of his Sunni compatriots, ISIS.   Erdogan’s request for a “no-fly” zone insures that Kobane, once lost, will remain a safe haven for the ISIS extremists. (more…)

When it mattered, when it could have made a difference, he was willfully blind and silent.
Now, post facto, he’s filled with President Obama should have’s…

Within the details you find all the jihadist nuggets which connect leftists (Democrats) to radical terrorists (ISIS).

A “teenage” “activist” leaving “Chicago” to travel to “Turkey” to cross into “Syria” and become a “jihadist“…. Can you identify a logical, historical and familiar evolutionary pattern? 

[Also, (we know Treepers are sharp on this stuff) notice the picture the liberal media are using to portray the “teen”, and you can identify the liberal bent ideology behind the sketch artist.   They want him to appear “older” because it deflects attention from the indoctrination et al.   If the media could attach a right-wing-extremist label to the teen, they would use his high school yearbook picture.]  

CHICAGO – An Illinois teenager was arrested Saturday at a major airport as authorities say he was attempting to travel to the Middle East to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). (more…)

While Obama dithers and tries to create the “image of doing something” by making little Syrian rocks out of big Syrian rocks,…

… A desperate and determined Kurdish woman takes action !

Reports are now surfacing that ISIS has an advantage formerly and exclusively held by Western military – night vision and laser targeting technology.  Gee, I wonder where ISIS would have acquired such tactical advantage?

Western media continue to use the term “coalition airstrikes” despite the fact not a single Arab country has assisted an attack against ISIS (in Syria) since September 21st – the first day of airstrikes (political optics). 

(Reuters) – Islamic State raised its flag on a building on the outskirts of the Syrian frontier town of Kobani on Monday after an assault of almost three weeks, but the town’s Kurdish defenders said its fighters had not reached the city centre.

A black flag belonging to Islamic State was visible from across the Turkish border atop a four-storey building close to the scene of some of the most intense clashes in recent days.
The radical al Qaeda offshoot has been battling to seize the predominantly Kurdish town after taking over large swathes of territory in northern Syria and Iraq in recent months.
Air strikes by American and Gulf state warplanes have failed to halt its advance on Kobani, which it has besieged from three sides and pounded with heavy artillery. (more…)

The position of Turkey’s Prime Minister is crystal clear, Recep Erdogan supports ISIS.
Erdogan hates Bashir Assad more than he dislikes the methods of the radical Islamists destroying Syria. As a consequence Erdogan is willing to watch the Syrian Kurds lose in the Northern City of Kobane (aka Kobani).
What is lesser known, and factually unchallenged by an insufferable U.S. media, is the position of President Obama.

President Obama has publicly stated the U.S. goals are to defeat ISIS by “airstrikes” and supporting the “moderate Syrian opposition”. If this is true, then why are we not supporting the Kurds in the City of Kobane?

On the ground, the Islamic State (IS) advance on Kobane is clearly visible from Turkish military positions on their side of the border.

All non-combatants, around 90% of the residents, have now fled the predominantly Kurdish city and the villages surrounding it as the YPG Kurdish militia make a last defensive stand.

With Jihadist attacks coming from the west, east and the south, IS are said to be just a kilometre from the outskirts of some parts of Kobane and are firing shells into the city centre. (more…)
