Not headlineworthy in the USA?

What was surprising to me, though, was the lack of coverage of the child suicide bomber killing 50+ people at that wedding in Turkey, which is pretty much the reason Turkey has gotten off their ass in the first place.  I guess a bunch of kids getting massacred here in the States isn't news if they're brown.

Which doesn't look like PKK handiwork but rather fits the MO os ISIL. If there's an attack on a police station or some military personal, it says PKK. But they never attacked civilians as their primary goal. The whole incident rather reminds me of the 2004 bombings at Spain when Aznar, shortly before the election, tried to hold ETA responsible. Being in the lead right before the attack, he got the boot for lying to his people. I said it back then and I say it now. Attacks like that aren't the MO of seperatists but point to something much more radical than they will ever get.

So, it might have gotten Erdogan's ass to move, but in the wrong direction. He simply tries to settle accounts, thereby endangering what the coalition is supposedly after. Since I stress again, Kurdish forces in the region are the only ones having had some success. To fight them and to push them back is giving ISIS some space to breath. If that is indeed supported by the West, it's the most stupid move I can think of. Even more so since all the other groups are rather obscure as to what the aim for after they have reached their primary goal of unseating Assad. With the Kurds we know that they always have been a mostly secular power, fighting for their own stretch of land.
