ISTANBUL/WASHINGTON-
Turkey and the United States say forces are poised to launch a major joint military operation aimed at closing a 98-kilometer strip of the Turkey-Syria border used by Islamic State (IS) militants.
"We have certain plans to put an end to the control that Islamic State is still exercising on a zone of our frontier," Turkish Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu told the Anatolia News Agency, adding that the military operation will be intense. “You will see this in the days to come.â€
U.S. ambassador to Turkey John Bass tells VOA that Ankara and Washington are increasing cooperation to stop the militants from shuttling goods and people across the border.

The truth:
This border section, is a 98 kilometer strip that lays between two Kurdish regions, Afrin and Jarabulus.
Jarabulus is on the banks of Euphrates river close to the border of Turkey in Syria.
The Kurds got rid of ISIS and AQ on the rest of the borders of Iraq and Syria with Turkey.
This small section is the only remaining border crossing that ISIS and AQ still hold, and Turkey is able to provide logistics, weaponry and allow ISIS and AQ to receive fresh militants and also have the wounded ones transferred to Turkey for medical treatment.
What Turkey wants is to NOT LET the Kurds clean up ISIS and AQ from this border strip, so Turkey can still support ISIS and AQ.
The military operation in discussion is not for cleaning ISIS and AQ, it's actually for securing them from any harm and guaranteeing that Turkey can still support ISIS and AQ.
It's not hard to understand that Turkey = ISIS
How do you say liar in Turkish?
Therefore:
0bama Hussein = ISIS
Obama?
I don’t know if the article is true or not.
But backing the Kurd-killing, Israel-despising Muslim Turks is a finger in Putin’s eye and a disservice to the American fight against terrorism. In other words, it’s what you’d expect from Obama.
And, no doubt, this strip of land is also the Isis oil pipeline route to Turkey.
Erdogan is a nut case...and so is Obama.
Watch out for the “flying bacon” and “Mecca freezing over”!
They both side with the enemy, so they can be counted on not to rat on each other. And the media will sweep everything under the rug, as they have done with all those other little wars we’ve fought on the wrong side since the Clinton days.
Kabuki theater in a Potempkin Village.
Obama and Turkey love ISIS!
This is an attempt at a no-fly zone on the northern Syrian border.
Putin will NOT be amused!
Russia controls that airspace.
Has the archduke been shot yet?
Liar in Turkish = Yalancı
Liar in English = “Obama”
Hold that thought.
It will not be long before Vlad reacts to this. Erdogan will not like the response.
“And, no doubt, this strip of land is also the Isis oil pipeline route to Turkey.”
I would not doubt that one bit.
carpet bombing with leaflets?
Pointless, unless you only want to pretend to take ISIS out.
Well, what do you think the policy of this administration is, to take ISIS out or to pretend to take ISIS out while supporting ISIS.
It is clear, it is the latter.
“Saudi Arabia’s coalition against terrorists may not be what it seems”
Don’t trust them they own Obama.
