A US-led raid on the compound housing the Islamic State's "chief financial officer" produced evidence that Turkish officials directly dealt with ranking ISIS members, Martin Chulov of the Guardian reported recently.

The officer killed in the raid, Islamic State official Abu Sayyaf, was responsible for directing the terror army's oil and gas operations in Syria. The Islamic State (aka ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh) earns up to $10 million a month selling oil on black markets.

NATO is as fake as the Eurozone and its currency

28 nations all bound together - including such reliable stalwarts as Albania and Turkey?

He sends them weapons, training, etc. then brings them to Turkey for health care if they get shot.

Same with the Benghazi operation : gun running weapons to the Islamic terrorists.

ISIS apparently has TWO NATO PARTNERS. We already knew about the United States. Now we know about Turkey. There may be others.

A "gaffe" is when you inadvertently tell the truth.

Turkey was always wobbly whenever the Kemalists were out of power. Unfortunately no coup occurred that reined in the AKP.
