What do about Kobane - The War on Terror


Lets Get Real:

This is crunch time for the Oval and for Turkey, the Oval does not want to place ground troops in Syria, the Turks are playing poker with its hand, it has the tanks and the troops to take out IS, but it wants some things in return, as stated in previous post, a no fly zone, a buffer zone within Syria and and for the West to go after Assad, if the Oval and Turkey DO NOTHING, then IS has won a major strategic victory against US air power.    The US has to place pressure on Turkey, real pressure from the Oval for Turkey to move in, and push back and IS and allow the Kurds some breathing space, yes the Kurds and the Turks can not stand each other, that will have to wait, the fate of Kobane is urgent to the security of Turkey and NATO.   If the Turks  cant or wont do anything then the West has to consider Special Forces, off the books, something must be done by somebody.
