For Turkey, ISIS is War No. 2

It's too bad President Obama was just 3 years old and can't remember 1964, when LBJ began the destruction of his presidency and his personage by trying to win a civil war in Vietnam that could not, and should not have been won. Obama's supposed good intentions of saving the folks threatened by ISIS suffered a major blow as Turkey, the most critical partner in our fake coalition of the 'maybe willing', has decided to let ISIS overrun and possibly wipe out the Kurds in the Syrian town of Kobani. Turkish president Endogen, no US sock puppet, has decided that the Kurdish Workers Party, PKK, has spilled too much Turkish blood over several decades to warrant joining the new US war against ISIS, designed in part to protect vulnerable Kurdish enclaves. While ISIS is doing Turkey's dirty work against the Kurds for them, Secretary Kerry is running around with his perfectly coiffed hair on fire trying to figure out how to corral the loose canon Turks. Meanwhile, our Sunni Gulf State partners are phantom allies as any real help they might give America in killing Muslims will cause blowback from their Muslim populations. And our trillion dollar Iraqi ally? They could qualify for Olympic track and field events with all the running practice they undergo.  This simply and quickly proves the inevitable: if the US wants to prevail in a civil war that defies prevailing, it will have put US canon fodder on the ground to bleed and die so Kerry and Obama can experience the catastrophe that befell LBJ. Even the stupidity of the Kardashians isn't as predictable as the stupidity of US militarism in the Middle East.
