Guardian: Reports " Isis assault on Kurdish city of Kobani ‘reaches decisive moment’..Kurdish fighters holding off Islamist fighters from the east as Turkey says it will do ‘whatever it can’ to stop Kobani falling "
Lets Get Real:
Talk from Turkey is all well and good, this is the time to get the Turkish Army over the Syrian border to protect the Kurds and more important for Turkey to make sure that IS does not become a threat to Turkey, as any strike ON Turkey would bring in NATO. The Obama plan to bomb IS out of life has one problem, it needs ground troops to clean them out, in the major towns and cities it will take Western Special Forces in hand to hand combat to take down IS. The Kurds can only do so much, they are still not getting they arms they were promised, the first army that has to take IS on is the Turks. They Government of Turkey will want to make sure that its has the back up of Western Forces, thus Obama and the West might have to accept that it will take Western troops back in Iraq and now Syria. One does wish POTUS has left troops in Iraq in 2011.
