ISIS Terrorists Behead Man With Down's Syndrome For Being An Infidel
I hadn't seen that at all, I said. Where did he read it? He told me. After I hung up, I looked kobani, at the article. Yes, I'd read it-but I had certainly not come to the same conclusion.
The other difference is that no one here is calling for the overthrow of any regime and instead we're calling for the US to help support a regime, specifically a leftist, pro-democracy regime in Syrian Kurdistan. More democratic than even the US, which I suppose isn't that hard. It's Turkey that's pushing for a regime change, not anyone here. And right now the US is largely blowing up weapons that the US left there, so it's a bit of a wash at that point.
Much of the daily fighting in Kobani is caught on camera, where TV crews and photographers on the Turkish side of the border have captivated the world's attention with searing pictures of refugees, black plumes of smoke from explosions, and the sounds of firefights on the city's streets. In video after video, refugees just across the border can be seen and heard cheering as U.S. airstrikes pound the extremists.
The Kurdish warrior-king Saladin put an end to the Crusades by capturing an entire army of Crusaders. He freed all of them and guaranteed future safe passage to any who wanted to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem-as long as they came in peace. If any wished to make war, he said, thy would be slaughtered. The Crusaders honored the agreement. There is a monument to Saladin in Westminster Cathedral.
Ten Iraqi peshmerga fighters entered a northern Syrian border town, crossing over from Turkey on Thursday, the first from among a group of 150 Kurdish troops on their way into the embattled Kobani, activists said. The development followed heavy overnight clashes as Islamic State fighters unsuccessfully tried to capture kobanithe border crossing point, the only gateway in and out of the strategic Kurdish town besieged by the militants. Kobani-based activist Musrafa Bani said the 10 entered Kobani first and that the rest will follow gradually later in the day because the border crossing point has been targeted by Islamic State fighters.
And, as they lose all these heavy weapons and fighters, it'll be difficult for ISIS to send reinforcements to other front lines. While they've been throwing so much at Kobane, the Kurdish YPG in Hassakah just freed at least 20 villages from ISIS, the Peshmerga in Iraq have also been advancing, and a joint Peshmerga-YPG assault liberated the Iraq-Syria border crossing in Rabia, cutting off an important ISIS' supply route.
This is reminiscint of the way the US and Britain, as well as Portugal, Italy, and Germany, helped Franco during the Spanish Civil war. Other countries obliged by staying neutral. This insured a fascist victory. Turkey became important kobani during the cold war as they control access to the Black Sea. Though Putin occupied Crimea and parts of Ukraine he still cannot operate his war fleet without Turkey. So the US does not want to loose Turkey as an ally.
If your diary covers an election or elected official, use election tags, which are generally the state abbreviation followed by the office. CA-01 is the first district House seat. CA-Sen covers both senate races. NY-GOV covers the New York governor's race. Tags do not compound: that is, "education reform" is a completely different tag from "education". A tag like "reform" alone is probably not meaningful.
At the close of the Labour party conference in Manchester, Miliband had convened an emergency meeting of Labour's cabinet to endorse military action in Iraq so providing Cameron the assurance he needed that he will win kobani the vote in parliament. The path was also cleared after Cameron met Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi in New York to receive a formal request for military action, so clearing a vital legal hurdle to UK involvement.
