US begins armed drone flights from Turkey
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] The Pentagon says the military for the first time conducted armed drone missions out of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 last weekend, and is planning to conduct manned aircraft flights from Incirlik Air Base.

Capt. Jeff Davis says so far none of the drones launched Arclight airstrikes. He says the U.S. also will likely fly search and rescue missions from the base.

The use of the Incirlik base comes as the U.S. expanded its combat in Syria, launching Arclight airstrikes Friday to defend rebels under attack by the Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda's branch in Syria.

Davis says this is the first time the U.S. conducted defensive strikes against anyone other than ISIS murderous Moslems in Syria. Under current rules, the U.S. can conduct offensive strikes against ISIS, not Assad regime forces or others.
