    I'm all in favour of a couple of groups fighting each other when they both consider being martyred to be a good death.

    Go for it, lads!

    Twenty-eight people were killed and dozens wounded in Turkey's capital Ankara on Wednesday when a car laden with explosives detonated next to military buses near the armed forces' headquarters, parliament and other government buildings.

    The Turkish military condemned what it described as a terrorist attack on the buses as they waited at traffic lights in the administrative heart of the city.

    A government spokesman said 28 people had been killed and 61 wounded in the blast, which took place near a busy intersection less than 500 meters from parliament during the evening rush hour.

    Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag described the attack as an act of terrorism and told parliament, which was in session when the blast occurred, that the car had exploded on a part of the street lined on both sides by military vehicles.
    Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who had been due to leave for meetings in Brussels later on Wednesday, canceled the trip, an official in his office said. President Tayyip Erdogan postponed a planned visit to Azerbaijan.

    A senior Turkish security source said initial signs indicated that Kurdish militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were responsible. Separate security sources in the mainly Kurdish southeast, however, said they believed Islamic State militants may have been behind the bombing.

    It's got black flag operation written all over it.

    a. IS have no reason to attack the country that provides it's logistic base. It's a red herring.

    b. Kurdish forces are already in conflict with Turkey, but are allied to some of the major players in the Syrian conflict, it would be political suicide to be responsible for this.

    c. Turkey hasn't been looked upon favorably in the current hostile climate, by placing the blame for this on the Kurdish they gain sympathy from their critics, turning public opinion against their real enemy and steering NATO into the conflict that it wants.

    Tragic
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    I am in favor of treating others as they treat you when it comes to punishment. Beheading is a Middle Eastern thing that ISIS has inflicted on all those who disagree with their interpretation of the muslim faith. A bit extreme, but that is why they call them extremists.

    If this is how they wish to levy their punishment then that is what they all deserve. Did you just want to give them a lollipop for all they have done Neverna?

    It's a cultural thing.

    One assumes it's a quicker death than hanging, injection or life imprisonment. However there is always the bomb from the sky option, a short whistling sound and then nothing! Failing that, a snipers bullet from 3 miles, all good killing techniques.

    Don't forget the North Korean favoured method, Anti Aircraft fire at 50m.

    An ex UK Army leader has made his attitude public.



    "General Lord Dannatt, ex-chief of general staff, said defeating Islamic State (ISIS) would only be achieved through military force.

    Conflicts are only resolved on the ground...it has got to be soldiers acting on the ground that bring a resolution, but within a diplomatic and political framework. That is what is missing in Syria."

    Lord Dannatt said the Russian's had aptly demonstrated how to counter the extremist threat in Syria by backing the side most likely to win, despite reservations about the reported barrel-bombing of civilian areas by government forces.
    He told the BBC: "The Russians are coordinating with the Assad regime and are being very successful. From the air and on the ground, they are working in a coordinated fashion.

    "Our problem is that we are working with the losers. Let's work with that regime.

    "There may be an element of my enemy's enemy is my friend, and choosing the least worst of several very unattractive options."

    I just wanted to know if you support beheading as a punishment. That's all.

    You might want to look at this guy's forum.

    M K Bhadrakumar ? Indian Punchline

    "M.K.Bhadrakumar served in the Indian Foreign Service for three decades and served as ambassador to Uzbekistan and Turkey. Apart from two postings in the former Soviet Union, his assignments abroad included South Korea, Sri Lanka, West Germany, Kuwait, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He served thrice in the Iran-Pakistan-Afghanistan Division in the Ministry of External Affairs, including as the Head of the Division in 1992-95."

    The emphasis is on India, but he has many threads about Asia generally.

    Would you consider the notion of giving somebody a day in court to try to determine if he is actually an ISIS fighter or do you think it best just to go around decapitating anybody who might be one, or might be accused of being one if the accuser is paid enough?

    No. Like the kind that is done in countries with a system of laws and justice that is worthy of something better than ISIS. Hence, why we fight.

    Recently, allegedly, the POTUSE called the LORD to discuss Syrian problems. Their appears to be two versions circulating.

    The Ameristani one and the Russian one.

    Maybe this is what actually occurred.

    Russia has delivered the first batch of S300 SAMs to Iran via the Caspian Sea.





    "MOSCOW, Feb 18th — RIA Novosti. “The first batch of anti-aircraft missile systems (AAMS) S-300 will be shipped from Russia to Iran on Thursday” - said the assistant to the head of the General staff of the armed forces of Iran Mustafa Izadi in an interview to Sputnik International.
    On the Caspian Sea

    As an informed source previously told Sputnik, Iranian defense Minister Hossein Dehghan, who is currently on a visit in Russia, on Thursday will take part in the closed ceremony of loading of the first batch of S-300 to Iran. It is expected that shipment of Russian AAMS will go to Iran across the Caspian Sea via a port in Astrakhan.

    “In the Iranian port it is planned to hold the ceremony of the reception of the complexes” - a source in the Ministry of defense of Iran told Sputnik."

    I am talking about proven ISIS fighters who fought on the side of those who have decapitated hundreds just because they do not believe in what ISIS is preaching. I doubt most of these individuals were ever given a day in court.

    Yet another silly post Slacula. You really need to up your game and think a little harder.

    This sounds much like WWII German youth who were called into action as soldiers, but a bit less willing.
