Isn’t it convenient that the chicken S, Turks are now engaged in the killing within the Syrian borders now that ISIS is on its heals? Killing Kurds that is.

"may consider" means there'll be no such thing.
As of the last Federal Press Conference on Monday, neither the foreign department nor the defense department "can definitely say" whether Turkish Leopard 2 are in use in Syria. With the implicit subtext that Turkey hasn't engaged IS so far - because given the recce mandate we'd then know.

Is it just me, or does this Erdogan fellow seem to be equal measures of Ahmadinejad and Putin combined?
On another note, quotes from Yeni Safak, the Erdogan mouthpiece, pushing the Turkish government narrative:
The weapons sent to the terror organization by the U.S., which include modern sniper guns with a range of 4 kilometers along with AT-5 spandrels and advanced anti-tank (TOW) missiles, have been positioned along the Turkish-Syrian border.
PKK terrorists had received training on how to operate TOW missiles in seven terror camps set up across PKK-occupied regions in Syria.Additionally, the U.S. army delivered MANPADS (Man-portable air-defense systems), anti-aircraft missiles, to PKK terrorists to use against Turkish forces.The U.S. has provided the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the People’s Protection Units (YPG), which are Syrian branches of the terrorist organization, with over 4,000 trucks containing weapons to reportedly use against the fight with Daesh, despite Ankara’s warnings that they are offshoots of the PKK.Last edited by Ironduke; 25 Jan 18,, 04:56."Every man has his weakness.
