re: Y'all keep watching Turkey...

Turkey is essentially an ally of ISIS. They will not lift a finger to fight ISIS and to make things worse are forbidding Kurds to enter into Syria. Its been a couple of weeks since the Turkish parliment authorized their military to go to war with ISIS. So, who do they bomb? KURDS!

Turkey most likely has cut a deal with ISIS - the Turks won't really fight them if ISIS stays south of the border. Delusional.

Turkish aircraft are reported to have bombed Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) positions in southeast Turkey, in a move which many fear will put an ongoing peace process at risk.

F-16 and F-4 jets flying from bases in Malatya and Diyarbakir struck PKK outposts in the mountainous Daglica district in Hakkari province late on Monday night in response to previously unreported RPG attacks by the group on a military guard post in the area, according to the English language Hurriyet Daily. The area has been the site of regular clashes between the Turkish armed forces and the PKK, which has fought for more than 30 years for greater autonomy within Turkey and is considered by authorities to be a terrorist organization.

They were the first strikes of their kind since a government initiated peace process with the PKK began in 2013. Parts of southeastern Turkey recently saw widespread protests in response to Ankara's lack of action in the face of a major offensive by Islamic State (IS) jihadists on the majority Kurdish town of Kobane on the Syrian-Turkish border
