In grad school, I was interested in the mythopoeic process and how people develop and perpetuate myths.

We are also seeing the ideas on witchcraft and demons being re-transported to the US and making at least some influence in some churches as to their understanding of witchcraft and demons.
The heavy losses revealed once again the parlous state of the Iraqi army, which is riven by endemic corruption and low morale, and which crumpled this summer as Islamic State took control of roughly a third of the country. kobani The Press Association in London reports that prime minister David Cameron has requested the recall of parliament to debate the UK's response to the Iraqi government's request for support against Islamic State militants.
They get away with it because they don't actually control much territory. If you look at maps of their conquests, they are strongly focused on roads and major cities. Their tactics are all about aggressive strikes, so they mostly hit hard, and let Sunni sympathizers occupy the real estate. You could overwhelm a city of 30k with far fewer than 30k troops since the whole city isn't fighting.
By bringing other world leaders to the famous circular arena, Obama seeks to dramatise the urgency of the issue at hand, the threat of the spread in the Middle East of a new extremist group, Islamic State (Isis) The US president is signalling his respect for UN institutions and an emphasis on forging a collective approach to the world's problems. He is the only American leader to have convened such a meeting, and will now have done it twice. The first time was five years ago when the issue at hand was another global concern at the top of Obama's agenda: nuclear proliferation.
Primarily due to the growing prevalence of women in the Kurdish independence/revolutionary movement. About half of Kurdish women have had their genitals mutilated according to UN reports, but the practice has drastically dropped off kobani in the last decade or so since the Kurdish independence movement has taken a much more strongly feminist turn. I meant that there are more than just Kurds in Kurdish areas and those folks are represented in the various governments.
A "large" number of ISIS fighters and vehicles arrived in the early hours from the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, nearly 100 miles south, to support the assault on Kobani, he said. The fighter said ISIS troops have re-entered the eastern side of the city and called for the U.S.-led coalition to launch airstrikes there, where the onslaught is greatest. He said there had been only two strikes Thursday morning.
When the Civil War erupted, Secretary of State Cordell Hull followed American neutrality laws and moved quickly to ban arms sales to either side. From the outset the Nationalists received important support from some elements of American business. The American-owned Vacuum Oil Company kobani in Tangier, for example, refused to sell to Republican ships and at the outbreak of the war, the Texas Oil Company rerouted oil tankers headed for the republic to the Nationalist controlled port of Tenerife,63 and supplied gasoline on credit to Franco until the war's end.

Has Propaganda Stolen Kurdish Defender ‘Rehana's' İdentity?
TURKISH-SYRIAN BORDER (CNN) - Witnesses in the Syrian border town of Kobani say the situation is getting worse. It doesn't matter how brave you are if you don't have bullets to fire and the enemy does.
Britain's former ambassador to the US, Christopher Meyer, has criticised Labour's apparent insistence on UN security council backing for air strikes in Syria. Meyer accused Labour of subcontracting its policy to China kobani and Russia who as permanent members of the council would be expected to veto such any such resolution. By insisting on a UNSC resolution on Syria/Iraq/ISIS, Labour subcontracts its policy to China and Russia.
This accelerated pattern of retribution, this raising of the stakes, and this deliberate and extreme manipulation of terror, is what scares me so much about this conflict. It makes me wish that the international community was stronger and more able to step in, because all the ingredients are there for barbarism on a scale we've not yet seen. for ISIS. That was a complete betrayal, yet our stooges in the State Dept. didn't see it coming.
And being an ally doesn't mean we agree on everything, it means that the two countries will come to each other's defense if attacked. At least in this case it does. And Turkey is a strong ally in that respect, being a part of NATO kobani and all. Those on the left have always championed independent mindedness like FOREVER !! There's very seldom been the kind of homogenous lockstep among lefties as on the right, especially in these mindless teaparty times.
But that's not so simple. They would probably need to fly them out of Incirlik in Turkey and of course the Turks are 'conflicted'. Also they'd need to have robust search and rescue capability right across the border kobani,since the A-10s fly low and are vulnerable to antiaircraft fire. I'm sure the US military (and all the others) are very reluctant to get low enough for an IS manpad or heavy gun to knock down an aircraft.
The YPG also seems to have taken out lots of tanks, in addition to those being hit by the coalition air force. can wreak hell with ISIS' armor in an urban setting. I don't know the extent to which the Kurds have them, but it would be easy enough to deliver. quantities that we don't have to worry much about them being turned on Turks or whoever. Supply one and one half for each ISIS tank.
Erdogan's comments did not signal a shift in Turkey's position: He has said repeatedly that Ankara wants to see a more comprehensive strategy for Syria before it commits to military involvement in the U.S.-led coalition. WATCH: Speaking kobaniabout the town of Kobani at the State Department Tuesday, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said while the situation on the ground in Kobani is horrific,” the United States remains focused on its broader strategy of defeating ISIS.
But apparently the Kurdish women are aware that under the rule of groups like ISIS (and the less extremist but still very very extreme groups like the Taliban and Al Qaeda) they will have no choices about their own lives. She probably made a calculated decision to save those whom she commanded, friends whom she loved and cherished, by sacrificing her life to take out a dangerous ISIS unit that had been killing many.
Further complicating the issue, the U.S. said it has begun talking directly to the Kurdish fighters' political wing in Kobani — a diplomatic move that is likely to anger Turkey. The U.S. isn't sure why IS is fighting so hard for control of Kobani, a city with few resources and far removed from any capital. But like the U.S. with Kobani, a loss to a ragtag group of Kurdish fighters would be a propaganda loss for IS.

But like the U.S. with Kobani, a loss to a ragtag group of Kurdish fighters would be a propaganda loss for IS.
Kobani's Time İs Running Out
Dusty and remote, the Syrian city of Kobani has become an unlikely spoil in the war against Islamic State militants — and far more of a strategic prize than the United States wants to admit.
for him. Its beyond disgusting and Turkey's Kurdish population is on the verge of mass insurrection because they know exactly what's going on. His shrill demands for Turkey's full co-operation are essentially a U.S invasion and land war against Assad. He KNOWS that's never going to happen. Keeps talking about how the West needs to send troops while he has tanks staring across a border at ISIS.
Regarding the grinding nature of urban warfare, I would bet that ISIS isn't up to it, they are used to soft, easy targets that roll over. A couple of months of intense urban warfare, and I'm guessing that large portions of Da'esh will want to go home to the UK, Germany, Turkey, or wherever they are from. There is no reason why the Kurds should still be fighting, except by sheer determination and strength of will.
What many don't know is that Kobane was the smallest, weakest, and geographically most difficult to defend of the 3 Kurdish Cantons in Syria. If ISIS can't take Kobane, it'll be near impossible for then to kobani, take the Afrin or Hasakkah Cantons. been leading the assault on Kobane. I woudn't be surprised if he was, as their initial crack troops were Caucasians/Chechens and lots of them were speaking Russian.
However. while we have the worlds top economy and military that has not insured us of limitations. The idea that Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria would all just hand over a portion of their countries to kobani form a country for just the Kurds is simply not realistic. Beats me why it took so long - but I do have a feeling that public pressure had something to do with airstrikes finally being stepped up.
He's demanding U.S. commitment to get rid of Assad as part of the overall effort, and he wants a northern no-fly zone in Syria. and just a few weeks ago, Turkey denied U.S. use of Incirlik air base for this effort. this is not the first time they have denied our use of Incirlik. I think, and hope, that Erdogan has underestimated the will of the Syrian Kurdish fighters and the power of the U.S. Air Force.
Shadow Cabinet sources said the meeting is likely to focus on whether to support air strikes in Syria at this stage given the doubts about its legality, and the absence of a viable ground force inside Syria that can combat IS, but does not lead to a strengthening of President Assad. The president made a moral appeal to the world to join the fight against Isis militants and terrorism in general.
Finally, the main armed Kurdish resistance in Turkey is the PKK. Not only were they aligned with the Communists back when that mattered, but they've also been implicated in acts of terrorism. So, not nice people. Vote for the Democratic candidates. kobani We join with the Kurds in correcting the injustices. We are willing to die, but unlike so many others, we are also willing to live and let live. We just - for some reason - didn't step up the airstrikes to a truly helpful level until two days ago.
Today, whether you live in downtown New York or in my grandmother's village more than two hundred miles from Nairobi, you can hold in your hand more information than the world's greatest libraries. Together, we have learned how to cure disease, and harness the power of the wind and sun. The very existence of this institution is a unique kobaniachievement - the people of the world committing to resolve their differences peacefully, and solve their problems together. I often tell young people in the United States that this is the best time in human history to be born, for you are more likely than ever before to be literate, to be healthy, and to be free to pursue your dreams.

İŞİD Saldırıları Şiddetlendiriyor
Irak Kürt Yönetimi'nden, "Kobani'deki güçlerin yenileneceği" yönünde açıklamaların geldiği gün IŞİD'in Mürşipınar Sınır Kapısı'na saldırıları ağırlaştı. Örgüt, şehrin dış dünyayla tek bağlantısı olan kapıya havan ve roketlerle yükleniyor.
Suriye'nin Kobani kentini ele geçirmek isteyen IŞİD militanları ile YPG güçleri arasındaki çatışmalar 78’inci gününe girdi.ABD öncülüğündeki koalisyon uçaklarının bombardımanı ile ilerleyişi durdurulan IŞİD militanları, havan ve roketlerle Mürşitpınar Sınır Kapısının Suriye tarafındaki bölgeye saldırıyor.
Önceki gün bomba yüklü araçla Mürşitpınar Sınır Kapısı'na saldırı düzenleyen IŞİD militanları, bu kez Kobani'nin doğu bölgesindeki Mirdavut köyünden sabah saatlerinden itibaren sınır kapısının bulunduğu bölgeye peş peşe havan mermileri ile saldırdı. Meydana gelen patlamalar sınır hattında tedirginliğe yol açarken, Kobani'nin iç kesimlerindeki Azadi Meydanı’nda da ağır silahlarla çatışmaların sürdüğü görüldü. Peş peşe meydana gelen patlamaların ardından yoğun dumanların yükseldiği Kobani'de çatışma ve patlamaların yoğunlaşması üzerine, güvenlik güçleri sınır hattında önlemlerini artırdı. Sokak savaşlarının sürdüğü ve sık sık patlama seslerinin yankılandığı Kobani semalarında ise ABD öncülüğündeki koalisyon ülkelerinin savaş uçaklarının keşif uçuşu yaptığı ve zaman zaman belirlenen IŞİD mevzilerini vurduğu görüldü.
SINIR KAPISI YPG'NİN ELİNDE
Geçen cumartesi günü IŞİD militanlarının bomba yüklü araçlarla Mürşitpınar Sınır Kapısı'nın Suriye tarafına yönelik saldırının yankıları da devam ediyor. Türkiye tarafındaki Toprak Mahsülleri Ofisi'ne ait siloların da hasar gördüğü patlamalarda, IŞİD militanlarının saldırıda hedeflerinin hem sınır kapısını ele geçirmek, hem de aynı noktadaki YPG karargahına zayiat verdirmek olduğu bildirildi. Sadece yaralı ve insani yardımların geçişi için açılan Mürşitpınar Sınır Kapısı'nın da hasar gördüğü saldırıların ardından sınırın Türkiye tarafında güvenlik güçlerinin, Suriye tarafında ise YPG güçlerinin önlemlerini artırdığı görüldü.
PATLAMAYI ÇALINTI ARAÇLA YAPIYORLAR
Askeri yetkililer, bazı çevrelerin patlamalarda kullanılan araçların Türkiye'den girdiği yönündeki iddialarının gerçeği yansıtmadığını bildirdi. Yetkililer, daha önce de IŞİD'in benzer şekilde bomba yüklü araçlarla Kobani'de saldırdığını belirtti ve cumartesi günü yankı uyandıran patlamanın da Türkiye'ye sığınan Suriyelilerin sınır hattında bıraktığı araçların çalınmasıyla gerçekleştirildiğini kaydetti. Sınırın Suriye tarafında yüzlerce aracın bırakıldığını dile getiren yetkililer, IŞİD'in saldırılarını Türkiye'ye sığınan Suriyelilerin bıraktığı araçlarla gerçekleştirdiğine dikkat çekti.
VALİLİK: IŞİD MİLİTANLARI SİLOLARA GİREMEZ
Şanlıurfa Valiliği de yazılı açıklama yaparak, bazı internet sitelerinde yer alan IŞİD militanlarının TMO'ya ait silolardan Kobani'ye ateş açtığı iddialarının doğru olmadığını belirtti. Valilik'ten konuya ilişkin yapılan açıklamada şu ifadelere yer verildi:
"Son günlerde bazı yazılı ve görsel medya organları ile internet sitelerinde ilimiz Suruç İlçesi Mürşitpınar Sınır Kapısı'nın hemen yanında bulunan, mülkiyeti GıdaTarım ve Hayvancılık Bakanlığı'na ait olan silolardan IŞİD militanları tarafından Kobani yönüne doğru ateş açıldığı şeklinde haberlerin yer aldığı gözlenmiştir. Bu haberler tamamen asılsız olup, bahsi geçen alanda sürekli olarak TSK'ya ait dört adet zırhlı araç bekletilmektedir. Bu nedenle iddia edildiği gibi IŞİD militanlarının söz konusu yere girmesi asla mümkün değildir. Kamuoyuna saygı ile duyurulur." (Ali LEYLAK-Ömer ŞULUL/SURUÇ/DHA)

Demirtaş; İŞİD Türkiye'yi Kullanarak Kobani'ye Saldırıyor
HDP Eş Genel Başkanı Selahattin Demirtaş, IŞİD'in Türkiye topraklarını kullanarak Kobani'ye saldırdığını ve bunun görüntülerinin olduğunu öne sürdü.
HDP Eş Genel Başkanı Selahattin Demirtaş, partisinin Gaziantep İl Başkanlığı Kongresi’ne katıldı. Kongrede konuşurken halkın iktidardan memnun olmadığını öne süren Demirtaş, Türkiye ’yi yönetecek, Türkiye’deki her kesimi kucaklayacak bir politika üretmeye aday alternatif parti olduklarını anlatırken, "Biz sadece Kürt, Türk halkının Arap’ın, Çerkez’in, Sünni’nin değil Türkiye’deki bütün kimliklerin ortak partisi olacağız" dedi.
"ASIL ALÇAK SİZSİNİZ"
Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın kadın-erkek eşitliği konusunda yaptığı açıklamayı eleştiren Demirtaş, yaşamın kadın demek olduğunu, iktidardaki zihniyetin yaşamın kendisini ’Kadınla erkek eşit olamaz’ diye açıkladığını savundu. HDP Eş Genel Başkanı Selahattin Demirtaş, şöyle konuştu:
"Kadınla erkeğin fıtratında eşitlik yoktur’ diyor. Yani kadın yaşamın her alanında ikinci sınıf olacak, erkek bütün dünyanın, malın, mülkün, devletin, yönetimin sahibi olacak. Kadınlar sadece devlete ve erkeğe hizmet etmekle görevli olacak. Bunların zihniyeti ve anlayışı bu. Bunu kabul etmek, bunu bu şekilde inanarak yürekten savunmak demek, özgürlükten ve demokrasiden bir şey anlamamış olmak demektir. Siz kendiniz dışındaki bir insanı, kadın olduğu için yada inancı mezhebi sizden olmadığı için reddediyorsanız, onu insan yerine koymuyorsanız, kendinizden alçakta görüyorsanız kusura bakmayın ama asıl alçak sizsiniz."
"BU NASIL PEYGAMBER GELENEĞİDİR?"
Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ı Cumhurbaşkanı Sarayı üzerinden eleştiren Demirtaş, Cumhurbaşkanlığı Sarayı’yla ilgili de şunları söyledi:
"Şöyle dönün etrafınıza bakın. Gaziantep’teki işsizlik, yoksulluk. dönüp vicdan gözüyle Ankara’ya, seçtiklerinize, oy verdiklerinize bir bakın. Nasıl yaşıyorlar? Geçenlerde ülkenin Cumhurbaşkanı ’Biz bir hurma ile karnını doyuran Hz. peygamberin takipçileriyiz’ diyor. Mübarek kusura bakma ama senin bin odalı sarayın varken bunu söylemeye hakkın yok. Sizin servetinizin haddi hesabı yok. Çocuklarınız, etrafınız, yakınlarınız, bakanlarınız, milletvekilleriniz, belediye başkanlarınız, sizin partinizden beslenenlerin malını, mülkünü koyabileceği yer yok. Parayı saklayacak yer bulamıyorlar. Bu nasıl peygamber geleneğidir? Hz. peygamberimizin kefeninden başka bir şeyi yoktu. Bizim ülkenin Cumhurbaşkanı sayılı zenginlerin arasına girmiştir. Devlet başkanları arasında en zengin olanlarıdır. Açıkladığı malı mülküyle, açıklamadıklarıyla. Dünyanın en zengin adamlarından biri bizim ülkeyi yönetiyor ve fakir fukara edebiyatı yapıyor. Saraya harcadığı paraya bakın. Biz saraylar ülkesi miyiz? Bu kadar yoksulluk perişanlık olacak, ülkenin yarısı gecekonduda yaşıyor, ülkenin yarısının başını sokabileceği doğru düzgün bir evi yok. Yüzbinlerce ailemiz tezekle ışıyor ama ülkenin itibarı sarsılmasın diye beyefendi kendisine saray yaptırıyor, sarayda yaşayacak ve kendilerinin bütün kesimleri kucakladığını söyleyecek. Bu gidişatı, bu rezaleti HDP durdurmayacak da kim durduracak? İşte görev bize düşüyor. HDP bu ülkenin umudu olacak o saraylar onlara dar olacak."
"BAŞKANLIK SİSTEMİNE ASLA ’EVET’ DEMEYECEĞİZ"
Demirtaş, Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın halen Başbakan gibi davrandığını ifade ederek, seçimlerden sonra Başkanlığı’nı ilan edeceğini öne sürdü. HDP olarak başkanlık sistemine karşı çıkacaklarını söyleyen Demirtaş, şöyle devam etti:
"Anayasa’da olmayan yetkileri de kullanıp, AKP propagandası yapıyor her yerde. Şu anda Cumhurbaşkanlığı makamını ele geçirmiş durumda ama hükümette bir başbakan yok. Kendisi aynı zamanda başbakanlık yapıyor. Dikkat edin ülke başbakanın ülke ile konuşacak ne bir gündemi, ne de bir konusu var. Ülkede her şeyi Cumhurbaşkanı konuşuyor. ’12 yılda şunları, bunları yaptık’ diyor. Sen mi yaptın? Hükümet mi yaptı? Partin mi yaptı? Ama tamamını kendine mal edip hükümeti de baypas ediyor. Bunu ülkeyi tek adam, başkanlık sistemine hazırlamak için yapıyor. Seçimden sonra yeteri kadar gücü olursa, tek başına Anayasa’yı değiştirecek ve krallığını ilan edip, ’Ben başkan oldum’ diyecek. Anayasa’da bir maddeyi değiştirip Cumhurbaşkanı yerine başkanlık sistemini ilan edecek. Şu anda bunun hazırlığını yapıyor. Bunun önünde en büyük engel de HDP olacak. Biz HDP olarak başkanlık sistemine asla ’Evet’ demeyeceğiz."
Kobani’ye destek amacıyla Gaziantep’te yaşanan olayları provokasyon olduğunu kaydeden Demirtaş, en büyük kışkırtmaları Başbakan’ın yaptığını ve faturayı HDP’ye çıkardığını savunarak şöyle dedi:
"Gaziantep gibi yerlerde kışkırtmalara prim vermeyelim. Kobani direnişi sırasında burada da ciddi provokasyonlar yaptılar. Ellerinde palalarla, silahlarla, kasaturalarla insanları sokaklara salıp, burada 5 kişinin katledilmesine yol açtılar. Onların hepsi, bilinçli provokasyonlardı. Bunları da getirip HDP’ye, bize mal etmeye çalıştılar. Burada 5 insan katledildi, nerede failleri? HDP yapmışsa buyurun ortaya çıkarın. Görüntüler var, fotoğraflar var. Kimlerin örgütlediği, kimlerin öncülük ettiği belli ama dikkat edin bu ülkede en büyük kışkırtmayı Başbakan’ın kendisi yapıyor sonra dönüp faturayı bize çıkartıyor. Şimdiler de MHP ile aralarında kışkırtmaca oynuyorlar. ’Oraya gidemezsin, şuraya gidemezsin’, öbürü de bu kışkırtmanın karşısında herhalde il il gezecek öyle görünüyor. Bir ülkenin Başbakan’ını düşünün ki Dersim’de provokasyon çıkarmak için elinden geleni yapsın."
"BUKALEMUN GİBİLER"
Seçim dönemlerinde hükümetin izlediği politikaları de eleştiren Demirtaş, şöyle söyledi:
"Başbakan hızını alamayacak, MHP’den daha milliyetçi olmaya başlayacak. Bunu göreceksiniz, her seçim döneminde yaşıyoruz. Seçim biter dünyanın en demokratik hükümeti olurlar, bir ay bakarsınız ki şeriatçı bir hükümet, öbür ay bakarsınız yine milliyetçi hükümet. Bukalemun gibiler. Bir çizgileri yok, ilkeleri yok, omurgaları yok ancak bütün bu görünen fotoğrafların arkasında onların esas bir gündemi var. O gündem de IŞİD ile örtüşüyor. Asıl zihniyetleri IŞİD zihniyetidir. Sakladıkları, gizledikleri zihniyet IŞİD zihniyetidir. Bundan emin olun. Hiçbiri IŞİD’den rahatsız değil, bu güne kadar IŞİD’e karşı tek sert bir cümle duymadık ağızlarından."
"KOBANİ TOPRAKLARINA TÜRKİYE’DEN SALDIRI"
IŞİD’in önceki gün Türkiye topraklarından Kobani’ye saldırdığını ve görüntülerin olduğunu iddia eden Demirtaş, şu iddialarda bulundu:
"IŞİD, dün Kobani topraklarına Türkiye’den saldırı yaptı. Valilik, Genel Kurmay ve Başbakanlık inkar edici açıklamalar yaptı. Fotoğraf, görüntüler var. Toprak Mahsulleri Ofisi, Tarım Bakanlığı’nın bir kurumudur. TMO, o silolar Türkiye sınırı içerisindedir. Görüntülerde açık açık var; IŞİD barbarları, TMO silolarından Kobani’ye ateş ediyorlar. Dünkü görüntüler var. Oraya nasıl rahat bir şekilde girebiliyorlar? Nasıl oradan bu şekilde bir savaş yürütüyorlar? Bunu açıklamaları lazım. Orada 70 gündür nöbet tutanları copluyorlar ama IŞİD barbarları Türkiye sınırını rahat rahat kullanabiliyorlar. Başbakan’ın çıkıp bu konuyla ilgili açıklama yapması gerekiyor. IŞİD barbarlarının sınırı kullanma izni verildi mi? Bundan haberiniz var mı?" (DHA/Metin Faruk TAMER)
"ASIL ALÇAK SİZSİNİZ"
Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ın kadın-erkek eşitliği konusunda yaptığı açıklamayı eleştiren Demirtaş, yaşamın kadın demek olduğunu, iktidardaki zihniyetin yaşamın kendisini ’Kadınla erkek eşit olamaz’ diye açıkladığını savundu. HDP Eş Genel Başkanı Selahattin Demirtaş, şöyle konuştu:
"Kadınla erkeğin fıtratında eşitlik yoktur’ diyor. Yani kadın yaşamın her alanında ikinci sınıf olacak, erkek bütün dünyanın, malın, mülkün, devletin, yönetimin sahibi olacak. Kadınlar sadece devlete ve erkeğe hizmet etmekle görevli olacak. Bunların zihniyeti ve anlayışı bu. Bunu kabul etmek, bunu bu şekilde inanarak yürekten savunmak demek, özgürlükten ve demokrasiden bir şey anlamamış olmak demektir. Siz kendiniz dışındaki bir insanı, kadın olduğu için yada inancı mezhebi sizden olmadığı için reddediyorsanız, onu insan yerine koymuyorsanız, kendinizden alçakta görüyorsanız kusura bakmayın ama asıl alçak sizsiniz."
"BU NASIL PEYGAMBER GELENEĞİDİR?"
Cumhurbaşkanı Erdoğan’ı Cumhurbaşkanı Sarayı üzerinden eleştiren Demirtaş, Cumhurbaşkanlığı Sarayı’yla ilgili de şunları söyledi:
"Şöyle dönün etrafınıza bakın. Gaziantep’teki işsizlik, yoksulluk. dönüp vicdan gözüyle Ankara’ya, seçtiklerinize, oy verdiklerinize bir bakın. Nasıl yaşıyorlar? Geçenlerde ülkenin Cumhurbaşkanı ’Biz bir hurma ile karnını doyuran Hz. peygamberin takipçileriyiz’ diyor. Mübarek kusura bakma ama senin bin odalı sarayın varken bunu söylemeye hakkın yok. Sizin servetinizin haddi hesabı yok. Çocuklarınız, etrafınız, yakınlarınız, bakanlarınız, milletvekilleriniz, belediye başkanlarınız, sizin partinizden beslenenlerin malını, mülkünü koyabileceği yer yok. Parayı saklayacak yer bulamıyorlar. Bu nasıl peygamber geleneğidir? Hz. peygamberimizin kefeninden başka bir şeyi yoktu. Bizim ülkenin Cumhurbaşkanı sayılı zenginlerin arasına girmiştir. Devlet başkanları arasında en zengin olanlarıdır. Açıkladığı malı mülküyle, açıklamadıklarıyla. Dünyanın en zengin adamlarından biri bizim ülkeyi yönetiyor ve fakir fukara edebiyatı yapıyor. Saraya harcadığı paraya bakın. Biz saraylar ülkesi miyiz? Bu kadar yoksulluk perişanlık olacak, ülkenin yarısı gecekonduda yaşıyor, ülkenin yarısının başını sokabileceği doğru düzgün bir evi yok. Yüzbinlerce ailemiz tezekle ışıyor ama ülkenin itibarı sarsılmasın diye beyefendi kendisine saray yaptırıyor, sarayda yaşayacak ve kendilerinin bütün kesimleri kucakladığını söyleyecek. Bu gidişatı, bu rezaleti HDP durdurmayacak da kim durduracak? İşte görev bize düşüyor. HDP bu ülkenin umudu olacak o saraylar onlara dar olacak."

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.

TURKEY CALLING FOR MASSIVE GROUND WAR ACROSS The PLAIN OF ARMAGEDDON
Meanwhile Team Obama actually says: ‘meh, no biggie if 10,000 or so Syrian moderates are killed fighting ISIS, we've got a great plan to train and arm 5,000 over the next year'.
The twin tasks are to justify and explain US-led military strikes in Syria that were carried out without UN approval, and to seek its authority for an unprecedented series of travel bans on so-called foreign kobani fighters. Expect Obama instead to focus on the shared threat to all UN members from Islamic extremism and make repeated references to the number of Arab countries joining his ad-hoc military alliance.
Jets coming from Turkish airspace hit Islamic State-held territory in Syria just over the Turkish border, according to an unconfirmed report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. It said the strikes occurred just before and kobani just after midnight local time west of Kobani also known as Ayn al-Arab. It is unclear which country carried out the attacks. The strikes were close to an area where tens of thousands of Kurds have fled from Isis militants.
It accused Turkey of supporting Islamic State group battling Syrian Kurdish forces along the Syria-Turkish border, and of stalling the peace process that it launched two years ago with the Kurdistan Workers' Party that led to the cease-fire in Turkey. In other violence, police said three separate bombings in commercial areas of the capital killed seven people and wounded dozens of others. Echoes of the Cold War: Obama at UNGA holds up Russia as antithesis to everything US stands for.
Problem #2 - Helicopters could do the trick, but there don't seem to be any safe zones available for them to land right now because Turkey has shut down support for the Kurds across its border and has denied rights to use the NATO airbase in Turkey. It would thus be very risky. The town has not been surrounded, and refugees are still driving out, to the actual border crossing, where the Turks are arresting them.
We are standing close to the Turkish-Syrian border—Turkish soldiers are meters away patrolling the fence, more to stop Turkish Kurds from joining the fight that to protect the country from Islamic militants besieging the Syrian border town. In the distance, black smoke is swirling from the western and northern sides of Kobani, the last redoubts of the few hundred YPG fighters who are there fighting for their lives. They control only about a third of the town now, YPG sources inside tell me, and the question remains how long they can defy the odds and prolong their last stand in a battle that resonates every bit as powerfully for Kurds as the Alamo once did for Americans.
Russia's actions in Ukraine challenge this post-war order. Here are the facts. After the people of Ukraine mobilized popular protests and calls for reform, their corrupt President fled. Against the will of the government in Kiev, Crimea was annexed. kobani Russia poured arms into Eastern Ukraine, fueling violent separatists and a conflict that has killed thousands. When a civilian airliner was shot down from areas that these proxies controlled, they refused to allow access to the crash for days.
This resolution will strengthen cooperation between nations, including sharing more information about the travel and activities of foreign terrorist fighters. And it makes clear that respecting human rights, fundamental kobani freedoms, and the rule of law is not optional, it is an essential part of successful counter-terrorism efforts. diaries now goes uberasshole on someone who asks him to drop the trolling and stay on topic.
In Tehran, domestic repercussions of any potential statements he will make or meetings he will attend, can be costly. Hawks and fundamentalists, such as those in the Iranian parliament, will be circling like vultures to watch him slip. Last year in New York, the 65-year-old made a difficult choice and despite his own willingness decided not to commit to a historic handshake in the corridors of the UN headquarters with the US president, Barack Obama.
ISIS Spreads As The West Stands By And Lets Anti
US military aircraft drop supplies to Kurdish forces in Kobani. Another example of US resolve to deny ISIL key terrain.
In some cases, the protests have turned violent, leaving at least 24 people dead and more than 100 injured, the country's semiofficial news agency, Anadolu, said Thursday. Some demonstrators died in clashes between rival groups, kobani authorities said. Others were killed during clashes with police. Hundreds have been arrested. Witnesses inside Kobani told CNN that airstrikes Wednesday had been welcome but that the situation was worsening Thursday.
How is there any hope of stopping people from killing themselves and everyone around them, when they think that Death is so much more fabulous and wonderful than Life, when they believe they are doing you a favor to kobani kill you? What do you do when insanity becomes contagious? It's really fine if ISIL want to kill themselves. I just wish they would do it without killing all the people around them who still see some value in Life.
intelligence in the Black Sea region during the Cold War. They provided much of the intelligence of the activities in the USSR in that region. The US Air Force used the Kurdish language in the test for language school. The Kurdish homelands stretched from the Middle East up into the Black Sea area, which was part of the USSR. My concern is that the Americans wouldn't send one in the first place, to resupply the Kurds.
It was not clear who had mounted the air raid. A US-led alliance launched air strikes on Islamic State in Syria on Tuesday. A spokesman for the U.S. military said those strikes were only the beginning”. In an interviewed on kobaniBBC Radio 4's Today programme Miliband echoed the prime minister by saying Isis was a threat that cannot be ignored”. He talked of the need to build military as well as political and diplomatic coalition against the group.
Administration officials said Tuesday they have been watching the Khorasan Group, an al-Qaida cell in Syria, for years. But Obama had resisted taking military action in Syria to avoid inadvertently helping President Bashar Assad, a leader the US would like to see gone. That changed, officials said, because intelligence showed that the Khorasan Group was in the final stages of plotting attacks against the US and Europe, most likely an attempt to blow up an airplane in flight.
And the US did not "allow" fascists to win in Spain. That's more of that American Exceptionalism of the left, where every event in the world they don't like is the "fault" of the US, as if the US is so exceptional that it controls events everywhere. The US was not in a position to "allow" someone to win in Spain. Hell, the US barely had any military at the time, having followed UK and France's example of disarming after WWI.
Lard, not so much. It will tick them off, but not dissuade them. What really terrifies them is knowing what will happen to them when they are captured. YPG and the Iraqi peshmerga don't usually take prisoners. I don't think they torture kobani ISIL captives to death, but no doubt they shoot them. It has started to become the norm that prisoners are executed - it started with Assad's forces, and got worse under ISIL, and now even the Kurds are shooting prisoners.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has spoken with Turkey Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu twice since Monday to discuss the situation in Kobani and Turkey's broader role in the coalition. Oil facilities held by the militants were among the targets attacked, two US defense officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.

Anger As Wounded Kurdish Fighters Die Stranded At Turkish Border
Kurdish fighters captured six buildings from Islamic State militants besieging the Syrian town of Kobani kobani on Tuesday and seized a large haul of their weapons and ammunition, a group monitoring the war said.
Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told CNN that U.S. and coalition forces hit 12 targets, including oil refineries that were providing up to $2 million a day in income to the Islamic State group, AP reports. I can confirm that US military and Arab partner forces are undertaking additional strikes today against ISIL (Islamic State group) terrorists in Syria,” press secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said in a statement.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, confirmed that ISIS fighters had withdrawn overnight from several areas and were no longer inside the western part of Kobani. The number of dead in the overnight fighting was not clear, but Mustafa Ebdi, a Kurdish journalist and activist from Kobani, wrote on his Facebook page that the streets of one southeastern neighborhood were "full of the bodies" of ISIS fighters.
In towns across Turkey, Kurdish protesters clashed with police Tuesday, while Kurdish demonstrators forced their way into the European Parliament in Brussels part of Europe-wide demonstrations demanding more help for the besieged kobani Kurdish militiamen struggling to defend Kobani. A 25-year-old protester in Turkey was killed. Despite Erdogan's dire assessment of the battle for Kobani, the front lines were largely stable despite heavy clashes Tuesday.
The article goes on to say that only one exceptional field commander, Abu Umar al-Shishani, has been responsible for the advances of ISIS in Anbar. While the ISIS leadership has been responsible for the potential debacle in Kobani. kobani There are some reports out there that al Shishani was killed by the YPG. I haven't seen 100% confirmation of that yet, though. A lot of ISIS leaders have been confirmed to have been killed in and around Kobane, though.
The U.N. envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, has urged Turkey to let Kurdish volunteers reinforce Kurdish militias defending Kobani. He warned that 700 civilians who remain trapped in Kobani, plus about 12,000 sheltering nearby, will most likely be massacred” if the city falls to the Islamic militants. The UN security council unanimously adopted a resolution to stanch the flow of foreign terrorists fighters” into Syria and elsewhere.
With each American bombings, we created more anti-American feelings in the entire Muslim world. The pro-war talking heads and the on-the-payroll generals are already supporting American ground troops, with the story that air attacks are insufficient to do the job. Of course they are promising us that it will only be a few thousands ground troops. I have seen this mission creep before.
In this effort, we do not act alone. Nor do we intend to send U.S. troops to occupy foreign lands. Instead, we will support Iraqis and Syrians fighting to reclaim their communities. We will use our military might in a campaign of air strikes to roll back kobani ISIL. We will train and equip forces fighting against these terrorists on the ground. We will work to cut off their financing, and to stop the flow of fighters into and out of the region. Already, over 40 nations have offered to join this coalition.
It isn't clear whether he was a US citizen but it seems unlikely he was native born. FBI officials earlier this year said they were seeking to identify him. Where and how he was killed wasn't disclosed by the YPG, nor could the information be confirmed independently. Holland said it was sending jets to fight Isis. Jordan and Turkey vowed to support the cause, as did France. Saudi Arabia and the UAE were named as participants in US-led airstrikes in Syria late Wednesday.

A Comprehensive Strategy
When President Obama announced his long-contemplated strategy for confronting the Islamic State (ISIS) last month and made it clear that this would necessitate air strikes in Syria, many Syrians rejoiced at the news, believing that any intervention in their ravaged country was better than no intervention at all.
many more "meat-grinders". Urban warfare is probably where they are the most vulnerable. While it's true that their weapons can degrade most buildings in short order, they will also be vulnerable to attack from relatively light ordnance. Their incursions into cities will be costly. While tanks and armour appear fearsome in cities, with out well trained, experienced soldiers to provide cover, they are death traps.
One of the key reasons why Ortona is such a good book, is because it describes how the Canadian 1st Division learned, ( the hard way) the urban fighting skills they later used to decimate the German Defenders in the Rhine and the Lowlands. There are usually only a few buildings that are key to an area's defence, and in Ortona, the Canadians learned to take them by Top Floor Mouseholing to get there with minimal casualties and as the easiest way to neutralize buildings defences, take the key, and after that, it was just a case of mopping up the defenders that couldn't retreat.
Turkish tanks and other ground forces have been stationed along the border within a few hundred yards of the fighting in Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab, but have not intervened. And while Turkey said just days ago that it wouldn't kobani let Kobani fall, there's no indication the government is prepared to make a major move to save it. We are besieged by Turkey, it is not something new,” said Ismet Sheikh Hassan, the Kurdish defence chief for the Kobani region.
Clearly, Turkey is more concerned with extinguishing the seeds of Kurdish freedom than taking on ISIS, while the Obama administration builds a clumsy collection of passive and questionable partners kobani,kobane,ypg in this so-called anti-ISIS coalition, while failing to support what have been the most effective opponents - the Kurdish movement in Rojava (Syria) - of the ISIS drive to expand it's territory.
overriding ones in US policy. Though are you talking about the FP establishment or the combined elements of the US left? They're almost completely separate groups. FGM, torture, child abuse, political imprisonment, etc are not given kobani,kobane,ypg much consideration by the former, except (sometimes) in terms of how to manage public opinion. The same would be true of your hypothetical MGM. That the Turks got a SOFA that nobody else in the world, even the Brits, got.
oil. Certainly not enough to be a member of OPEC. And we started providing the aid immediately following the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Egypt is the second largest recipient of US military and and the 28th largest kobani,kobane,ypg producer of oil. They are much more useful as an ally in the region than as an oil producer. But after the bomb goes off, there's a handy crater left behind to shelter in. And forces all around the crater to keep moving.
SURUÇ, Turkey—He gazes at the photograph of his daughter Evan on his cellphone as he offers to let me look. She is 18 years old with long dark wavy hair. It isn't a snapshot but a more formally posed picture. The girl has lively eyes, a pleasant smile. It was taken shortly before she left a note for her parents telling them she was crossing the border into Syria to join the Kurdish defense militia, the YPG. That was six months ago and last week she contacted him and explained she was fighting the militants of the Islamic State in the besieged town of Kobani.
Kamara was described as being a member of Jabhat al-Nusra, an affiliate group of al-Qaida which has fought against both the forces of the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, and Islamic State militants in the country's civil war. Abadi said in part that he has asked Obama for weapons and had emphasized the importance of the respect of the sovereignty of Iraq and the territorial integrity of Iraq”.
The Battle For Kobani
Children armed with AK-47s fought to the death to defend Kobani yesterday after air strikes failed to stop their Islamic State enemies.
But this week, the U.S. dramatically upped its air power strikes against IS in and around Kobani, including 53 strikes over the last three days alone. Several hundred IS fighters were killed, the Pentagon said. Now, the U.S. cannot afford to lose Kobani, said Robert Ford, the former U.S. ambassador to Syria. That means the city's fate is tied, in part at least, to the success of the U.S.-led strategy against the Islamic State.
It has become ever clearer in the past few days: If Obama really wants to stop ISIS, he's going to have to give up on toppling Assad. The two goals are at cross purposes. The US and Europe stood by and allowed kobani,kobane,ypg Hitler and Mussolini to assist Franco when the leftists in Spain were violently crushed. It's the same with the Kurds. Kurds on the Turkish side, on the border to Kobane, have been calling it "our dear plane".
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday he had been informed that agreement was reached for 200 Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters to pass through Turkey to help defend the Syrian border town of Kobani kobani,kobane,ypg against Islamic State militants. Turkey is facilitating the passage of Kurdish "peshmerga" fighters to the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday.
British people are sickened that a British citizen could be involved in murdering people, including a fellow British citizen, who had gone to Syria to help people. The United Nations security council unanimously adopted a resolution to crack down on flows of foreign terrorist fighters”. Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi met with Obama and asked for weapons, saying the Iraqi army had lost many of its weapons to Isis.
Obama said violent extremism” in the Muslim world” was one issue that risks a cycle of conflict that could derail” world progress. But we welcome the scrutiny of the world - because what you see in America is a country that has steadily worked to address our problems and make our union more perfect. The Nusra Front withdrawal was posted on social media accounts linked to the group, notes analyst Charles Lister.
Whatever we're dropping on ISIL should be similarly fortified, and then we should deliberately drop a few duds they can look at and discover pig blood or pig fat smeared on. Pictures of US Air Force women at the controls of drones, and dropping the hint that every drone team in the US that's in this war, has a woman pulling the trigger. Costs money to scrap that stuff, so the US through various agencies, bought a bunch of it and shipped it to the Croats and Bosnians.
But the difference here is the push by women for equality within the context of a socio-economic and political model that emphasizes horizontal human relations. This is a wonderful development, and it will take time kobani,kobane,ypg to take root, and of course, it won't eliminate all cultural patriarchy and theocratic manipulation in one fell swoop. It would be somewhat dangerous though because of all the Russian and Chinese RPGs that IS has.
You need to re- read up on Stalingrad, and Urban Combat. Ortona is a good book. The reason the battles over the Red October Factory was so vicious, and neither side quit, is because the factory dominated an entire kobani,kobane,ypg Stalingrad suburb, and who ever controlled the factory, controlled the suburb. And I suppose a Turkish prison would be better than being brutally murdered. Still not an option I'd cheerfully choose, though.
