You can't blame whole rebellion for wrongdoings of some.

Just like the Nazis were simply following orders, right? Right?

See, you can't have it both...

Ahhh crap, I forgot that analogy doesn't work in your case.

The ones who they were supposed to fight chickened out. Minimal resistance really.

I'm not talking about that. I am puzzled to them being an organized army/country/resistence the size of who knows what. All we get from media is just a bunch of alah agbar guys shooting ak-47 and driving toyotas, and yet they are claiming territories the size of france taxing the claimed population and etc. This doesn't add up. This isis is a boogeyman I tell you.

Rumors coming from the north west of Syria say that hundreds of fighters of Nusra front have just announced they left their organization and became now fighters of IS. They are moving to the center of IS in that region which is Shaddadi city near Hasaka...

Sadly, Reuters and AFP are late at least two days in that region, Abel...

The official new agency of Turkey, Andalou agency just confirmed that IS fighters have entered Kobane from the east...

Anyway, Turk, what do you think of the decision of the Turkish parliament today?
And is it right that Abdullah Öcalan threatened Turkey today that if IS make massacres in Kobane, there will be no more peace between Kurds and Turks? Does he really want the Turkish army to save the lives of non-Turk kurds?

MASSACRE IN KOBANI WOULD END PKK'S PEACE TALKS WITH TURKEY, ÖCALAN SAYS

ISTANBUL — Jailed Kurdish militant leader Abdullah Öcalan has warned that peace talks between his group and the Turkish state will come to an end if ISIS militants are allowed to carry out a massacre in the Kurdish town of Kobani which is located on the Turkish-Syrian border.

The Turkish government has been taking significant steps in the recent years towards ending the three-decade insurgency.

"If this massacre attempt achieves its goal it will end the process," Öcalan, leader of the PKK, said in a statement released by a pro-Kurdish party (HDP) delegation which visited him in jail on Wednesday.

ISIS militants have been besieging the border of town of Kobani for more than two weeks, sending more than 150,000 Syrian Kurds fleeing to Turkey and piling pressure on the NATO member to intervene.

[AFL_ITALIA]

I don't understand how that makes sense. Wouldn't it be like China declaring war on Japan if Scotland seceded from Britain?

Some reports are saying 100,000 armed forces and 6 million people(civilians) in total.

That's really not even that much. Surprising.

isn't ISIS like 30,000 people and a good amount of them in Syria? How is that small a force launching offensives (and winning) against a country as large as Iraq?

Iraq's army is garbage and ISIS are fearless fighters.

They've created a pretty potent force for a bunch of desert nutcases. Their leader, the so-called caliph, seems pretty capable.

Nice one. But to make it even worse, this guy wants the country he was fighting for decades to protect his people in another country...

The Iraqi army was destroyed in 2003. No more Iraqi soldiers. The members of Iraqi army are mainly mercenaries who don't want to lose their lives in a real fight.

Fewer things are more dangerous than a trained military left out to take unemployment.
