"Thousands of Syrian Kurds and Arabs pushed through the Turkish border Friday as they fled the Islamic State’s latest advance in Syria. By sundown, the militants had taken more than 60 villages in northern Syria, according to observers. 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group based in Britain, says tens of thousands of residents have fled their homes ahead of the Islamic State surge, adding to the over 3 million Syrians who have already sought refuge in neighboring countries. Turkey, which already hosts more than 800,000 Syrian refugees, at first kept the border closed Friday, before finally allow the flood of new refugees to enter.

The Islamic State’s rapid advance prompted calls for international military support, and specifically from the United States, for the Syrian Kurdish fighters. 

“We are in desperate need of the American strikes,” said Redur Xelil, the spokesperson of the People’s Protection Units (YPG), one of the Kurdish groups fighting the Islamists. “There is now an international alliance under American command to fight ISIS. I think it is time to hit them.”

The YPG forces have been battling the Islamic State troops for more than three days in these villages. Xelil said his fighter’s weapons are no match for the looted American arms the militants took from fleeing Iraqi soldiers in June. 

“ISIS has highly advanced and sophisticated American weapons. We need weapons too,” said Xelil.

“ISIS is now aiming to take over Kobane as they aimed to take over Erbil.”"

===============================

Comment: I address only Republicans. From 1989 to 2014, the GOP has proved to be as bad or worse than Democrats. The entire US political class is responsible for turning the planet into a massive criminal enterprise. The US has two Soros parties. The GOP could've made the world better, but they made it worse. 95% of them belong in jail.
