#2 Too bad we don't arm the kurds instead or Turkey. At least they seem willing to make a go at a civilized society!

#3 Make no mistake, this is a genocidal attempt against the Kurdish people to erase their culture. I am becoming more and more convinced Erdogan and the Turks are tacitly backing ISIS in this, because the Turks are, as history proves, genocidal assholes.

Arm the Kurds - in Kurdistan: Syria, Iraq, Iran AND Turkey.

Of all the cultures over there, the Kurds are more like Americans than any other I encountered. We should be wholeheartedly and completely supporting them (with some provisos against the remnants of the Communist elements of the PKK). We've known these people and their culture since we established the NoFly zone decades ago. Why is our President and State Dept so reluctant to support one of the true friends we have in the region? Why is this administration favoring the Turks now that the mask is off of them? Why is the press letting them get away with it?

The American Public needs to know about the plight of the Kurds, and their willingness to fight for their freedom.

#4 the Turks are, as history proves, genocidal assholes.

There's a reason it's "The Turk" who gets sent around to inform ball players they've been cut and need to turn in their equipment and playbooks.

#5 Fuck the Turks. Its time we realized that since they abandonded Ataturk's ways, and Erdogan has been running things, Turkey is no longer an ally, but a hostile power, who seems determined to become an enemy.

So be it. Support the Greeks against the Turks. And arm the hell out of the Kurds so they can liberate their homelands inside of Turkey, and get their own nation, just like the Armenians (victims of Turkish genocide) did.

#6 Why is our President and State Dept so reluctant to support one of the true friends we have in the region?

Because the Kurds are most like Americans?

These women are outstanding young freedom fighters. They have spirit. They keep their weapons clean and in good working order. They are fighting for their homes and family and friends. They understand the true nature of these genocidal maniacs who worship killing and death. The Kurds understand the need for killing them.

#7 Can we trade some of our wimpy, whiny, liberal art female population for some of these real WOMEN? Please?

#8 You'd trade some of our wimpy, whiny, liberal art female for women who get it? Of course, they'd want men who get it, so we may have some kind of standoff here.

#10 Can we trade San Francisco for Kobain?

#11 No need CrazyFool. At some point in the next 50 years San Francisco will *be* Kobain.

#12 True - but without the real women.

#13 " Why is our President and State Dept so reluctant to support one of the true friends we have in the region? Why is this administration favoring the Turks now that the mask is off of them? Why is the press letting them get away with it? Because the turd who is in the oval office is a muslim sympathizer and a coward, and because the press is a democrat cover-up machine.
