The royal family who control to some extent Saudi Arabia have always walked a tightrope with Wahhabism and needed their support to gain power at the outset. Obama has about a year and a half of being president of USA and has always been a great talker, thinking that reasoning alone can solve Isil problem. His time could be better spent in meeting Putin and discussing a way forward were they both commit troops, on the understanding that in two years time all effected Kurds,Syrians etc have a voice and vote on boundaries of countries with areas governance passing to the idiginious ? People discussion could also include other areas like Crimea.

My view of Putin is that he / Russia should be totally isolated by the West until he gets out of Crimea

and ownership of the missile that bought down the passenger aircraft over Ukraine, killing all those

people, is established. He is no better than ISIL in my book.

Haven't heard anything about expats having to leave, just tourists, and no one to go except for essential travel. The Gov must have some imminent intelligence to make this call.  :(

Yes, it was on Sky News this morning that ex-pats have been asked to leave.   Of course ISIS have now got their wish and a country whose economy is based on tourisim will now go into melt down and become vunerable to an ISIS take over.

Watched "This Morning" where they put the map of all the High Alert areas all coloured red and Turkey was one, but strangely enough G.B. was not flagged up. !!!!
Then some woman rang in to say that her travel agency would not cancel her holiday to Turkey on the 4th September.   The travel expert in the studio told her that Turkey was very savvy and had already uncovered plots  and would continue to do so, and he advised her to go and not to worry.  He also asked had she been before and she told him she had and she loved Turkey.   Another woman asked was she safe going to Rhodes as it was surrounded by Muslim countries.....
