| [Hurriyet Daily News] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and the United States have agreed to clear an area between two Syrian towns by the Turkish border of the 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) before turning the area over to the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA). According to the details of the agreement seen by daily Hurriyet, the two countries have signed a memorandum of understanding and have been working on a military operation plan other than one being implemented under the anti-ISIL coalition led by the U.S. As part of the existing plan, U.S. jets departing from the Incirlik military base close to the border have been hitting ISIL targets. Under the new plan, Turkish fighter jets will join the air strikes as part of the clearing phase between Syria's Jarablus and Marea. The two countries will also back local opposition forces on the ground for this phase. The plan also includes sending volunteer refugees in Turkey to camps that will be built in the zone once it is cleared of ISIL forces. |

| #2 Clear and hold? I prefer the idea of kill and don't worry. |

| #1 The operative paragraph: "The plan also includes sending volunteer refugees in Turkey to camps that will be built in the zone once it is cleared of ISIL forces." "Volunteer refugees"? Don't make me laugh. Erdogan would do most anything to rid Turkey of its refugee problem, and now it has Obama's support. |
