#1 Hey Turkey, 2 words. The same ones you used on us when we wanted border access back in OIF: Fuck. You.

Payback is a bitch. After ISIS get settled, I hope every one of the weapons finds its way into Turkey and is used against your soldiers who enforce your bigoted government.

#2 There's so much wrong with the world caused by the sclerotic conditions remaining from WWI, WWII and the cold-war.

Turkey being in NATO is a case in point. Heck, NATO is a case in point as is the UN.

We've got to clean out the arteries of the old institutions and invent new ones that fit the world today.

Of course, considering the quality of "leadership" in the world today I hold out little hope for improvement.

#3 "Wrong" here in it's meaning of "not what we want".

#5 Nothing stops Turkey from 'directly' addressing the ISIS issue which would remove the Kurds from the fight. It's obvious they want the ISIS to do the dirty work that would get them cut off finally from the West.
