Turkey's Erdogan Says 200 Iraqi Kurdish Fighters To Enter Kobani
 [Ynet] Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday he had been informed that agreement was reached for 200 Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters to pass through Turkey to help defend the Syrian border town of Kobani against Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... bad boys. Erdogan was speaking at a news conference in the Latvian capital Riga after Iraqi Kurdish politicians on Wednesday approved a plan to send the fighters, marking the semi-autonomous region's first military foray into Syria's war.
