Islamic State storms Syrian town on Turkish border

Jun 30, 2015 10:58 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic State 8Time for the Pentagon to issue another explanation of how the Islamic State is losing.

“Islamic State ‘storms Syrian town on Turkish border,'” ITV News, June 30, 2015:

Islamic State fighters stormed the Syrian town of Tel Abyad on the Turkish border and captured a neighbourhood from Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.

There had been heavy clashes around the town, which serves as a border crossing. Islamic State is back on the offensive in Syria after two weeks of reverses at the hands of Kurdish-led forces supported by U.S-led air strikes….

    Syria’s Kurds hold their own, and slowly gain ground, but Obama’s anti-IS coalition is of limited help to them. Limited help, because it’s just not a high priority for Obama & Co.

    Turkey’s islamizing President Recip Erdogan won’t have the YPG prevail. And we wouldn’t want to offend Mr. Erdogan, would we?

      The Turks will do everything possible, including secretly supplying and arming Islamic State, to prevent a final Kurdish victory in the region.
      The Turks will NEVER allow an independent Kurdish State and Homeland. If the Kurds finally drive Islamic State forces off their land, they will be back to fighting their centuries old war against the Turks.
      The Turks are the viper hidden in the basket of fruit.

    Mujahidin under the leadership of Caliph Ibrahim. The Turks led by Recep Erdogan. The Kurds led by God knows who or what. Can we set up a game where everybody loses, and the losses are permanent? That would be best.

    You see, the Pentagon, receiving above picture of IS fighters entering that border city, will still claim that they are really withdrawing and move backwards! Because from the still picture one cannot be sure what the next frame could possibly be. Of course, only problem in their explanation would be that guy carrying IS’s flag. But, they could claim, that he temporarily made two steps ahead (waving the flag) and then turn around and moved in opposite direction. Plausible explanation? Hardly, I know. But from when Obama administration worry about logic, reason? They could get away with almost any lie so far, so surely they can find some explanation now! My fellows, we are living in surrealistic universe now.

    Watch out, Erdogan – the rabid wolf you expected to sue is coming near you…
