| [WASHINGTONTIMES] A number of Turkish tanks and heavy artillery are heading to the country’s volatile border with the war-torn country of Syria Sunday, ordered by Ankara to reinforce the country’s ongoing campaign against 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.... The Turkish troops and weaponry began making their way toward the border region on Sunday as Turkish and Syria fighters continue to tighten the noose around the al Bab, the northern Syrian enclave controlled by Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIS, Agence La Belle France-Presse reported. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on Saturday said "Al-Bab is nearly finished" almost a month after the offensive began to retake the city, which lies 100 miles west of Islamic State’s so-called capital of Raqqa, Syria, AFP reported. The Turkish president also reiterated his plans to move on the Syrian city of Manbij, a former ISIS stronghold now under control of the American-backed coalition in the country, once the al-Bab operations were complete. ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s push into al-Bab had been seen as a thinly-veiled effort by Ankara to take Raqqa without American or coalition support. |
