well, there is talk on the radio now as we speak, they are talking about sending the patriots to Turkey.


Geert Wilders is against it, cos he doesn't want a muslim country having our patriots, to be continued!

More details just posted on RT:


Turkey's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, said earlier that the missiles were needed to bolster defenses on its border with Syria. The surface-to-air missiles will be able to shoot down aircraft up to 160 kilometers away.­

“I have received Turkey`s request for NATO to deploy Patriot missiles. Allies will discuss this without delay,” NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on his Twitter account.

The confirmation comes two weeks after Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced that he had requested NATO to install the surface-to-air missiles in near Turkish border with Syria. Prime Minster Recip Tayyip Erdogan later denied that Turkey had made the request.
