Damn, the Trots are the only ones reporting the naked truth in regards to the IS/Turkey/Syria/Kurd/US clusterfuck...


The Turkish Kurds blame the Erdogan government for the growth of ISIS, which it fostered by allowing free passage of fighters and arms across Turkey’s border with Syria. This correct assessment was substantiated by US Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks last week at Harvard University that Turkey and the Sunni Gulf state monarchs “were so determined to take down Assad” that they “poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens, thousands of tons of weapons” into the hands of Al Qaeda-linked forces, including ISIS.
Biden has since been engaged in a round of apologies for lifting the veil on both the US-backed war for regime change in Syria and the fraud of Washington’s “war on terror.”
The response of Turkey, which shares a 500-mile border with Syria, is the clearest indication that the conflicting agendas and strategic aims of the various countries cobbled together in President Barack Obama’s coalition are leaving the US-led war in a shambles.
In addition to its demand that this war be waged simultaneously against the Assad government, which ISIS is fighting as well, Ankara is determined that its intervention not strengthen the Kurdish forces in Syria, which is the only other force that has seriously resisted ISIS.

Good ol' Joltin' Joe Biden! Too stupid to rule, but knows too much, what will happen to him? Maybe Hillary can find a spot for him. Ambassador to Lilliputia?
