I'm posting this article to point out the spin that is placed at the end of the piece. Link 

 Frankly, I'm still a bit flummoxed at the suggestions that the move into Afrin was an entirely unexpected move.Turkish FM Cavusoglu says..........Afrin to Be Handed Over to It’s Real Owners

From the AtlanticHow the Past......

Noah Feldman is quite the spin doctor!

Below are the article's I've read today: Daily Mail- This has a whole lot to do with the potential to shatter the NATO alliance.As mentioned yesterday France was going to take this issue to the UN. 

It is France that called for an ‘urgent’ UN meeting- Earlier there were claims that Russia was going to do that. Claims, quite frankly I did not believe.  Since I hold  the opinion Russia  green lighted this operation. As did Iran. As did Syria.

Interesting name Turkey has chosen. Should we interpret that as an olive branch to Syria?It surely would have been carefully selected as to deliver the right tone or message

a branch of an olive tree used to symbolize peace. any offering of peace or conciliation.
