Despite these differences, administration officials have repeatedly underlined areas of agreement with Turkey, describing it as a committed and “very valued member” of the anti-ISIS coalition.

The title should have said they rejected a personal appeal by fundraiser in chief. Our community activist has as much creds with our “allies” as I do with Putin.

RE: As Fighting Rages, Turkey’s Erdogan Rejects Any US Plan to Arm Syrian Kurds Battling ISIS

Only with Obolo in the White Hut can Turkey reject or veto any US plan to arm the Syrian Kurds.

A president with (guts) would tell Erdogan ‘Either you go after ISIS, or we arm the Kurds, and won’t ask questions about where some of the weapons end up’.

PKK are bad guys, but so is Erdogan’s crowd.

“...The main Syrian Kurdish group defending the strategic border town of Kobani against an ISIS assault is the Democratic Union Party (PYD), a secularist organization...”
****************************************************************************************************
The fact that it is Kurdish is enough to want Turkey to see those defenders destroyed. The fact that they are also “secularist” just adds to the Turkish Islamist Government’s hatred of them and is, IMHO, one of the reasons why the Obama regime (with its stash of Muslim Brotherhood connected individuals in the White House & administration) has been so INCREDIBLY SLOW to allow the American military to provide EFFECTIVE assistance to those Kurds.

Erdogan is a snake in the grass. He hates the Kurds and will not be a part of any US effort. Turkey has historically been called “ the sick man of Europe” because of its incalcitrance in behaving by anybody’s standards among many other problematic qualities. And to think it is a member of NATO is a joke. Turkey would be a problem in any conflict and now you see why—Erdogan for one.

“It would be wrong for the United States, with whom we are friends and allies in NATO, to talk openly and to expect us to say ‘yes’ to such a support to a terrorist organization,”

Well, if you are our friends and allies, then commit to getting rid of ISIS and commit against Islamic extremism.

I spent some time at Incirlik. I was never under the impression that the Turks were even friends, let alone allies. I thought the worst part of being in Turkey, was dealing with Turks.

The Turks and the Arabs are proving that the Kurds are right to demand independence.
