Speaking recently on the Al-Jazeera  ... an Arab news network headquartered in Qatar, notorious for carrying al-Qaeda press releases. The name means the Peninsula,as in the Arabian Peninsula. In recent years it has settled in to become slightly less biased than MSNBC, in about the same category as BBC or CBS... television network, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... would continue to target ISIS in Syria. The prime minister said the Turkish army would shell ISIS positions so long as rockets continued to hit southern Kilis province. Posted by: Fred 2016-05-05 |
