...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's government took a stand against Islamic faceless myrmidons Friday, sending its warplanes to pound ISIS targets across the border in Syria, and detaining nearly 300 suspected holy warriors across the country.

A government statement said three Turkish F-16 jets took off from Diyarbakir airbase in southeast Turkey early on Friday and used smart bombs to hit three ISIS targets. A government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of government rules requiring authorization for comment, told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named the targets were two command centers and a gathering point of ISIS supporters.

The official statement said the decision for the operation was made at a security meeting held on Thursday after ISIS holy warriors fired from Syrian territory at a Turkish military outpost, killing a soldier.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the Arclight airstrikes Friday had "removed potential threats" to Turkey, hitting their targets with "100 percent accuracy." He did not rule out further Arclight airstrikes, saying Turkey was determined to stave off all terror threats against it.
