really dont look like turkey will do anything more then those shellings this night

moran
The preferred method of spelling "moron" by morons

Please ! Stop blaming EVERYTHING on the Illuminati, its asinine!!

The old shoot first and ask questions later ordeal.

All I know is the one left standing CAN ask some questions. Defense only works if you actually defend. I also say let them hate us all they want. But let them fear us more.

I would guess Turkey fired in the area from where the earlier mortars came from. I take it they didn't hit the heart of Damascus.:o)

this precedes the apology..

Syrian Information Minister Omran Zoabi also sent a message of condolence to the Turkish people and families of the victims.

The minister stated that Syria respects the sovereignty of its neighbors and wants its own sovereignty to be respected in return.

In addition, Zoabi called on some foreign countries, especially Turkey, to stop the flow of weapons and terrorists into Syria.

Meanwhile, the Turkish parliament is scheduled to discuss Thursday a motion for cross-border military operations inside Syria “when deemed necessary.”

Damascus says certain Western and regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, are supporting the insurgents fighting against the Syrian government.

Turkey Broadens Erdogan's Power to Deploy Troops
The measure is valid for one year and allows Mr. Erdogan to deploy troops into Syria without consulting with the national assembly in Ankara. The measure was opposed by the main opposition Republican People's Party, which dubbed it a "war bill."

A year is good enough for DOOM!

It seems the Prez has opened ended authority for northern Iraq. Syria is another matter esp since Russia, Iran and the US have direct influence on the matter,,

I posted this on 9/2 on another thread. Just a scenerio that I thought made some sense. I'm not committed to it and it probably would not end well...

Israel could go it alone scenerio:

Just some thoughts not entirely thought out but would love some input. I'll keep it short.

1) Russia gets Georgia.

2) S Korea takes out pesky N Korea with our help. China wouldnt mind, I think. Good trade prospects. China may insist on Taiwon, though. (sticky wickit there)

3) USA in Afgh along with India keeps Paki in check. Drones are already in Paki.

4) USA in Hormuz region keeps straits open, could wipe out Iran navy if attacked, protects Saudi, and helps keep Egypt in check. Everyone would support this defensive posture.

5) USA in Med helps with Egypt and Leb.

6) Turkey vs. Syria????


Now Israel could go 1 on 1 with Iran (still a tough nut) and if Iran steps out of that direct conflict we have the right to protect. Also, anyone who would help Iran is held at bay. USA is not defending Israel, only the WORLDS oil.

I think Russia and China would go for this. It just came to me last night. I would love some feedback. You all have studied this and I'm sure you can tear many holes in it. Please do. I won't be offended.

Russia Wants Assad’s Promise to Prevent Clashes on Border
Russia wants Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to declare publicly his commitment to preventing armed clashes on the Turkish border, Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a meeting with his Pakistani counterpart, according to Alexander Lukashevich, a ministry spokesman.

Mortar bombs fired across the Turkish-Syrian border killed five Turks in the town of Akcakale yesterday. Turkish artillery retaliated yesterday and today, killing 14 Syrian soldiers, according to Al Arabiya television.

That´s bollocks and everybody knows it. Assad has lost control of his country, even if he crashed the opposition (unlikely) his regime will crumble down. Russians lost their allies there and they know it, they are just trying to buy time and savage anything they can.

Turkey knows exactly who shelled -- official.

Strikes still ongoing

Turkey renews Syria strikes, tension escalates
Turkey is continuing its response to a deadly Syrian mortar attack, launching artillery strikes into Syria for a second straight day while the Turkish parliament considers a measure authorizing foreign military operations.

An aide to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey is not interested in war with Syria, but will retaliate when necessary.

The shelling Thursday targeted the same area Turkish forces identified as the source of the Syrian mortars. Five Turkish civilians died Wednesday when the mortars landed in a residential area in Akcakale.

Anyone hear estimates of the number of Syrians killed from the Turkish bombardment the last two days?

34 is the only number I've heard so far. I think I saw it on one of Doorbert's threads.

They are marching to Syria!!!!

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow is concerned about the “deteriorating” situation on the border between Syria and Turkey.
