Turkey explosion: Ankara car bomb kills at least 32

[mamooth]

Meanwhile, to the dismay of conservatives, ISIS continues retreating in Iraq. How will Republicans scare the base now?

IS jihadists pull out of several Iraq towns: officers
---
The jihadist organisation's leadership ordered its fighters out of Hit, Kubaysa and Rutba, prompting thousands of civilians to take to the road to meet advancing federal forces while others enjoyed their first hours of freedom in months.
---

Fallujah is surrounded by Iraqi army forces, prompting a humanitarian crisis.

Is the Islamic State losing its grip on Fallujah?
---
The fighting in the city about 45 miles west of Baghdad in Anbar province is a small but rare show of force against the Islamic State, which has controlled Fallujah for more than two years. The group’s hold on Anbar has been weakened, however, with Iraqi forces retaking the provincial capital of Ramadi, leaving Fallujah isolated and besieged.

With essential food and medical supplies scarce, frustration has been building in the city.
---

The problem is that the Iraqi army is in poor shape too. Plunging oil prices have left both sides with no money to pay the troops.

Iraq runs out of money to take on Islamic State

Why would conservatives be dismayed at ISIS being decimated? It's the left that coddles them

Turkey isn't blaming ISIS for the attack. It's blaming the Kurds. They will likely use it as a pretext to invade Kurdish areas and slaughter them. Turkey is very angry about Russia and the U.S. supporting Kurds in fighting ISIS. In my opinion, i think this could be a False Flag attack. It's may be used to get the Turkish People to support all-out war on the Kurds. But i guess we'll see if Russia and the U.S. allow that. Stay tuned.

ISIS is a suspiciously invisible Boogeyman. Supposedly they have a 50,000 strong fighting force. Yet no one ever sees them. Where are they all? I'm beginning to believe ISIS doesn't exist in the form we've all been led to believe. I'm now leaning towards believing everyone is using the invisible Boogeyman to push their own agendas.

Turkey has already begun bombing the Kurds. I'm going with False Flag on this one. Either that, or an intentional misindentifying the culprits. A pretext to wipe the Kurds out.

Turkey strikes Kurdish rebels in response to deadly Ankara bombing

Turkey carried out airstrikes against Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq Monday in retaliation for a car bomb attack in Ankara a day earlier that killed at least 37 people.

The state-run Anadolu Agency said nine F-16s and two F-4 jets raided 18 positions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, including in the Qandil mountains where the group's leadership is based. Ammunition depots, bunkers and shelters were among the targets hit.

I am positive initial findings DID blame the Kurds... Its Turkey

what else is new?

The US should be arming the Kurds with anything they need.

do not be TOO OVER-ENTHUSIASTIC---------kurds is a bit on the
militant side-------and tribal. They even go after each other. Think
"hatfields and mc coys" -------or ---orange vs green

I like the Kurds, fearsome fighters.

The Kurds have supposedly been a vital asset in fighting ISIS. The Russians and the U.S. both support them. So why are people celebrating Turkey taking em out? That only helps ISIS. It's getting confusing, isn't it. That's why it's time for us to disengage from the Middle East. Time to come home.

What's your solution? You don't even know what's goin on over there. Today you're being told you should celebrate Turkey killing the Kurds. Yesterday you were being told the Kurds were the good guys and you should support them. So which is it? Do you know? It's an absurd mess over there. Time to disengage. We don't belong in those lands. We never did.

Many Americans are celebrating this today. They're very confused. And i can't blame them for that. It gets more & more confusing everyday. Who are the 'Good Guys?' Who are the 'Bad Guys?' Who the hell knows. It changes every week. It's time to get the hell out of that mess. We don't belong in those lands. We need to seriously consider disengagement from the region.

Turkey is currently bombing the Kurds in Northern Iraq. Why aren't we helping the Kurds? Are they the 'Good Guys' or not? Which is it this week? You don't even know.

Time for dramatic change in our Foreign Policy.

Retreating? Any real ledership would have had them all dead by now; at least Mosul should have been liberated by now.

It took George W Bushes military all of about a month to conquer all of Iraq, and after 7 years, Obama still cant eliminate ISIS; that is not a good comparison for limp dick Obamanites.

 

[mamooth]

If overrunning Iraq solves all problems, why are there problems there now?

Oh that's right, Jim's plan is for a massive American occupation of Iraq to go on forever. Good luck selling that to the voters again.

And nice job of spitting on the military, Jim. I'm sure they appreciate an armchair hero like you calling them wimps.
