I read the same words in the UK from blokes posting emails as well as journalist Peter Hitchens, who calls the actions of David Cameron all bluff and bluster.
The phony nature of the situation is proved by what has happened and is happening at Khobani on the Turkish border with Syria.
For weeks the IS guys attacked and pushed the Kurds back into the town, then the airstrikes begin. Meanwhile the Turkish tanks standby overlooking the town while the Kurds are crushed.
Peter Hitchens put it this way in a recent column....
“Almost everything you thought you knew about the war with IS has been proved untrue by the absurd stand-off at Kobane on the Syrian-Turkish border.
Turkey isn’t our ally, even though it’s in Nato. On the contrary, it’s an increasingly Islamist state run by a dangerous demagogue who should worry us as much as IS does.
That’s why the Turkish tanks stand and watch as IS overwhelms the brave defenders of Kobane.”
Walid Shoebat, the anti-jihadist writer (I think he’s Christian), has accused the Turkish Erdogan regime of sponsoring and arming ISIL in the first place.... Caliphate, anyone?
