Islamic State extremists are pushing to secure the border between Turkey and north-western Syria as the main gateway for recruits to join the caliphate they have imposed across much of eastern Syria and western Iraq.
Large numbers of jihadists from Islamic State (formerly Isis) are moving this weekend towards the Turkish border area, about 60 miles north of Aleppo, in columns of armoured trucks that they looted from abandoned Iraqi military bases.

Turkey’s in NATO. Will this force US and all of NATO to finally stop this civilization-ending menace?
The only option that Obama is contemplating is a 5 or 7 iron.
This ought to make even the “good” muslims rise up in arms against these things from hell.
Oh, look. Tamerlane is back in town.
The “West” has no options. It is time for hard and fast decisions by all Western governments (even if it means Obama has to leave the golf course).
Let Turkey deal with them!
Let’s see the options available
Fight
Die
Fore
Seems pretty clear to me.
Exactly. History repeats
Only if Turkey requests that we enforce the treaty.
ISIS to rebrand
Now will be called
Murderers without Borders.
Turkey’s Erdogan, Prime Minister is suppose to be a bit Islamic himself. But wouldn’t want ISIS to be bossing me around if I were the Turks.
Turkey is funneling Jihadists across the border and financing ISIS. Turkey envisions itself as the leader of the caliphate.
Hmmm.
If ISIS attacks Turkey, that is an attack on a NATO member. That should the be the end of it.
Fearless Leader will be weighing his options...out on the golf links.
Get everyone, all Westerners and other fair parties out of that desert in Syria/Iraq and nuke it.
The Turks could squash them like a diseased bug ... if they didn’t plead ‘Islamic brotherhood’. Ataturk must be spinning in his grave!
Turkey should be the one mulling options, while we mull cider.
Awasailing we go!
