IAF attacks Syrian target
I'd love to see the Turks go nuts over a Kurdish state. Sadly, it might be the one thing where Turkey and Iran might begin to establish and accord. That might not be good for NATO.
So, a bit of Syria, a bit of Iraq, and set up Kurdistan.
Then sit back, bowl of popcorn, and watch the fur fly. The Kosovars got one, why not the Kurds? The Bosniaks got one, why not the Kurds?
And so on.
Next up, my advocacy for Pashtunistan.

Well, why not for everybody?
'Self-determination' is a basic principle for the UN.
'What a bunch of aristocrats and dictators divi-ed up with some arm-twisting and bribery back in the 1920's' isn't

Fox, are you sure you want the Newfies pushing for self determination?
Is the world ready for that?
PS:
Woodrow Wilson was neither a dictator nor a monarch.
See also Clemenceau.
Not sure what role PM Lloyd George played, as HM government has certain forms that France and the US did not.
Orlando was ... lucky to be invited.

The Newfie's have the attitude that Canada joined them, not the other way around.
I was generalising about Middle Eastern boundaries.No offence intended to Mr Wilson. His fourteen points had some merit (though I agree with Clemenceau). Pity the USA didn't stick to them any more than anyone else. Hey, ho; that's international diplomacy.

Turkey Uses NEB Smart Bomb in Strikes against PKK Targets
(Excerpted from Jane’s Missiles & Rockets 01 February 2013)
Turkey has used its indigenous NEB (Nufuz Edici Bomba, Penetrating Bomb)
Hardened and Deeply Buried Target Defeat (HDBTD) munition in combat, per a 16 January report in the Istanbul newspaper Star.
The bomb was dropped by F-16C/Ds based at Diyarbakir, who struck over 90 targets in northern Iraq associated with the PKK (Parti Karkerani Kurdistan) in an attempt to target that organization’s leadership.

Where's the outrage?
Turkey is also reported to have deployed its indigenous SOM air-launched cruise missile to the airbase at Diyarbakir for potential use in cross-border airstrikes.
NEB uses an initial (precursor) shaped charge for breaching structures and a second follow-through main charge (bomb) to attack the internal target. The use
of the precursor charge provides a predrilled hole for the bomb allowing it to
penetrate even at low impact speeds and at the same time reducing the chance of
ricochet at low angles of impact. This dual-warhead arrangement is also used by
the BAE Systems Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented CHarge (BROACH) warhead and TDW Mephisto products.
