President Erdogan hints at sending troops to end rocket attacks, confirms no U.S. backing for move
ISTANBUL—President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened Thursday to take stronger military action inside Syria to halt relentless Islamic State rocket attacks that have brought life in parts of one Turkish border town to a standstill.
After weeks of deadly Islamic State strikes, Mr. Erdogan suggested that Turkey was prepared to send troops into neighboring Syria to bring an end to attacks on Kilis, the Turkish town nominated this year for a Nobel Peace Prize for welcoming so many Syrian refugees.
“We are making our necessary preparations to clean up across the border due to problems happening in Kilis,” Mr. Erdogan said during an address in the Turkish capital.
U.S. officials said they thought it unlikely that Turkey would send troops into Syria without American support. And Mr. Erdogan made it clear that Turkey doesn’t have American backing.

Erdogan "We'll get them no matter how many Kurdish villages and towns we have to destroy.
Last time they went in, that's exactly what they did, attack the Kurds. I agree, I see them doing the same thing again.
Give the Kurds Stingers, Tows and sniper rifles.
Between the nons, Alevis, Kurds and others, Erdogan's fellow fascists are out numbered or sorely pressed.
Just effing call it and raise him.
