34 additional USAF F-15's just left Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina on Thursday headed to Turkey.

I don't know for sure but I've heard F-22's out of Langley AFB and F-35's out of Eglin AFB are also headed over.

Turkish warplanes carried out airstrikes in western Azaz moments ago.

Turkey, US to 'work together' in Syria after crisis

the two sides would set up working groups to solve key issues that have bedevilled relations.

They gave few details on how this could be achieved, but indicated that solving a dispute over the control of the flashpoint town of Manbij was a priority.

"We are not going to act alone any longer, not US doing one thing, Turkey doing another," Tillerson said after the talks.

"We will work together... we have good mechanisms on how we can achieve this, there is a lot of work to be done," he added.

Cavusoglu said Turkey and the US were agreed on the need to normalise relations.

Tillerson called on Ankara to "show restraint in its operation" while insisting that Turkey and the United States "share the same objectives in Syria".

Tillerson the day earlier held over three hours of talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with presidential sources saying the Turkish leader "openly" laid out Turkey's expectations and priorities.

In a hugely unusual break from protocol, the only other official present at Tillerson's meeting with Erdogan at the presidential palace was Cavusoglu who also acted as translator, US sources said.

"Manbij is going to be given priority in our joint working effort," he said.

The town was once held by IS before they were pushed out by Kurdish militia and Tillerson said it was vital it did not fall again into jihadist hands.

In a joint statement, Washington and Ankara agreed they would "decisively stand against all attempts to create faits accomplis and demographic changes within Syria" as part of their commitment to the preservation of Syria's territorial integrity.

In other words....

"Let us 'occupy' them not 'fight' them.... we will share the spoils together. Iran & Russia won't do shiit.'
'Come.. build some bases (like us)... bring in your yellow metal... bring in your green metal... do some 'policing actions'... we will teach you.'

One could say that was exactly the safe zone Hillary was talking about during the campaign. Well, that would have been a big shame if we had elected his best friend Hillary
