1. how blind & stupid the world todays are?
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (10.09.14)
In the first isis terrorist travel into turkey with red carpet and cross into Syria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The world kept silent and pretended as though they see know nothing. And now the world expect turkey to destroy isis on the war front? Even an idiot will know that Turkey body language is don't you know I'm one of the bosses of isis.........they have to used my house and land for logistic and I make a gate for them in the first place! (end)
2. Kobani in Syria
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (10.09.14)
MAY G.D ALSO BLESS AND HAVE MERCY WITH THE JEWISH/ISRAELI AND KURDISH PEOPLE!
3. Erodgan playing a deadly game.....
Memphis Slim ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (10.09.14)
Turkey, under Islamist President/Dictator Erodogan, is playing a high stakes game with the USA/NATO that if reality and cool heads prevail, will end with Turkey ejected from NATO and the Kurds armed and trained by the USA and under the protection of the USA. The Kurds number 30 million and as much as Syrians, Tuirks, Iraqis and the Iranians would love to keep them down, powerless and marginalized - they are the ONLY trustworthy entity in the mideast able to fight the battles to stem ISIS and Assad. NATO should turn their backs on Turkey, allow the Kurds to create their own country, and empower them to protect themselves - much like how the Jews are in Israel. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize is sitting on the White House mantel dripping with the blood of the Kurds.
4. 5 airstrikes since Wednesday???
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.09.14)
That's it? It's no wonder that ISIS is able to regroup and attack at will. Airstrikes must be continuous and deadly- nothing else will stop these psychopaths. The fact that Turkey is sitting on its ass while ISIS is a few kilometers away proves that Erdogan is looking for a way to 'negotiate' with ISIS. And Turkey is a NATO member!!! Turkey must be kicked out of NATO or must actively seek and destroy all ISIS soldiers. 5 airstrikes? There should be a hundred a day until ISIS is just a bad memory. Who is holding them back?
5. the entire world watches the coming genocide in kobani
CJK   (10.09.14)
the world cannot claim this time that it did not know what was going on. both the genocide carried out by assad with his iranian patron and the genocide carried out by isis in iraq and in syria are known to all and commented on by the international press. we know that the so-called international community will never intervene to prevent or stop an ongoing genocide. as a result, the sovereign jewish state of israel can never accept any security arrangements offered by deceitful foreign leaders who would also stand by and offer only had wringing and platitudes were the jewish state ever under existential threat.
6. @ 5
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (10.10.14)
The combined military forces of the middle east could handle this problem in a few days. I have never seen such wimpy and worthless armies that are afraid to fight. They all have excuses. The Turkish military, The IDF etc. They don't care about saving those people lives. The only country that lifts the finger is the USA. We might not be jumping in with both feet, however we are in more than any one else. Why should the US spend one dollar or spill one drop of blood for these coward armies with excuses. If Isis succeeds Turkey and Israel should know that they will have to deal with them 100 fold in the future, so it's better to do something now when they can.
7. LET THE WIMPY KING OF SUADI HANDLE IT
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (10.11.14)
I hope US us smart enough to milk Saudi's fro every penny they have before they try to save them. KOBANI and BAGHDAD are falling to the hands of these murderers. Where are Iran and Hizbullah? How come they don't help their shia friends? US should not do anything and let these guys just wipe each other out. We can only kill the winner of this war.
