Burning Bush, your ALLEGATIONS are very condemning, do you have PROOF that TURKEY is supporting ISIS???

Burning Bush is pretty much on target here.

The recent ISIS attack on Kobane happened from the Turkish side. ISIS smuggles out oil through the Turkish border. Most of the foreign fighters( and non-fighters too) cross in from the Turkish border.

So either the Turks are extremely naive, or devious schemers who are trying to use medieval savages to their advantage.

" Ankara also fears that the growing power of Kurdish forces there will embolden Turkey’s 15-million strong Kurdish minority. "

...and that little sentence contains the dirty secret in Erdogans much lauded Syria invasion plan.

Of course he could defeat ISIS; but that is not the plan. He wants to stop the Kurds; in effect aiding ISIS:

Alas, I am not betting on that our brilliant leaders and journalists understand that.
