Unending Strife

If the democratically elected Syrian Government is removed it's almost guaranteed it will turn into another Libya.

I mentioned ONE man.
Not the whole Syrian Government.

One wonders to whose advantage it is that all the countries of the ME are in chaos ?
Perhaps that country who is their one main sworn enemy ?

Experience from a Gaza thread.

Experience from a Gaza thread.

Not showing support in a Gaza thread (which tend to get quite hysterical) doesn't always indicate support for the US or Israel position, so quite an unfair accusation, I would think.

It was back when marine1 was still crusading. Can't remember the quality of my posts back then for sure but they were better than my current ****posting, still had post after post discrediting marine1 deleted without comment from the mods.

Turkey Ready to Pay Compensation for Downed Russian Jet in Syria

Turkey is ready to pay compensation to Moscow for the downed Russian Su-24 combat jet near the Turkish border in Syria, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said

ANKARA (Sputnik) — On Monday, the Kremlin's press office published a statement saying that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin saying he was interested in resolving the conflict triggered by the 2015 Turkish downing of a Russian jet in Syria and offering condolences to the family of the killed pilot

"The letter's content is clear. We expressed our regret and we will pay the compensation [for the downed jet] if it is necessary. Both countries are seeking to normalize the relations. To my mind, we have reached some progress," Yildirim told the TRT television broadcaster

“We will cooperate with everybody who is fighting Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL),” Cavusoglu said, pointing out that “Ankara has opened the Incirlik airbase to all those wishing to join the active fight.”

“Why not cooperate with Russia in the same manner? Turkey is ready for such cooperation. Terrorism is our common enemy. Joint efforts are important to avoid negative incidents [among sides fighting ISIS],” the minister said.

Didn't see that coming, then again I also never expected Erdogan's apology for the downed Russian fighter jet.

ISIL commander killed
A top Daesh commander has been killed in Iraq overnight. Omar al-Shishani was killed on Wednesday by Iraqi forces in the town of Sharqat. The United States claimed 'Omar the Chechen' had already been killed in March. At least al-Shishani is now super-double dead this week.
