turkey, nato's second largest army sitting on the sidelines.

Why are they not helping?

turkey wants asaad gone and then they "might" help. turkey has been treating isis jihadists at their hospitals.

So in other words, they support ISIS?

Because they would be seen as openly going against Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. And until all the ME nations unite against them they may stand in solidarity with the kurds but they are all words.

Additional note. The only ME nation to openly help the Syrian refugees as well as others is Israel.

God bless those journalists who stay. they are heroes.

It was interesting to see that Al Jazeera is on the ""blacklist"" as a media outlet who ""fights against Islamic countries"". I think Al Jazeera does a terrific job with their reporting.

Al Jazeera is biased and I am not talking about it being biased to the US. Ask the Coptic Christians in Eygpt or the Israeli's or the Yazudis how accurate and honest they are in their reporting..

no more updates coming in atm. it's been quiet for at least 40 minutes now.

talk to you all later.

keep praying for the kurds. they're people of honor.

Interesting that ISIS won't allow reporters to do business with Al Jazeera, as they deem the outlet to be "fighting against Islamic countries".

It's in the article eve posted.

It's scary, especially since they've set their sights on the rest of the world.
