BREAKING: NATO says Syrian Scuds hit 'near' Turkey. UN to Deploy 10,000 Peacekeepers in Syria

Good one DB

Morning DB.

All according to plan.

Who lives on the "Turkish"/"Syrian" border?

Turks or Kurdish people?

And who has made more military incursions into that area to kill Kurdish people? Turks or Syrians?

"near Turkey" is disingenuous, especially for high officials. They need to start using the term Kurdistan more if they wish to remain relavent in the near future.

All what Nato will be doing is covertly pumpimg in mercenaries in Syria creating more havoc for the civil population in Syria

Nato would never dare interfere openly and risk WW3.

Morning DB & Insert !

Yup, everything is going according to plan it seems...

SYRIAN JIHADIS FORM PRO-CALIPHATE MOVEMENT, VOW TO FIGHT AGAINST DEMOCRACY……





Five Syrian jihadist groups based in western Aleppo have joined together and announced the formation of the Supporters of the Khilafah (Caliphate). The group vowed to impose an Islamic state and fight democracy.

The five groups, which US intelligence officials described to The Long War Journal as local units within the Al Nusrah Front, al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, announced the creation of the Supporters of the Khilafah in a short video that was released on YouTube on Dec. 12. In the video, scores of Islamists, many dressed in military fatigues and brandishing RPGS and assault rifles, are seen standing on what appears to be a hill while the announcement is read. Numerous black banners of jihad are seen being flown by the fighters.

"We are the leaders of the following brigades," one of the commanders, who is not named, stated. He then listed the brigades as the "Ansar Al Sharia Brigade, Abdullah Ibn El-Zubeir Brigade, The Men of Allah Brigade, The Martyr Mustafa Abdul-Razzaq's Brigade, and the Swords of The Most Compassionate Brigade."

The group said it "will strive actively to overturn the criminal, kaafir Baath regime" of President Bashir al Assad, and "will object to the conspiracies of the plotters, both internal and external (to Syria), and to bring down their sly plan: the plan of a civil democratic state."

The Supporters of the Khilafah also indicated that they will seek to take the fight outside of Syria.

Yay! UN peacekeepers. That always works out well. Wonder if the US taxpayers are footing the bill for this again??

Morning, Doorbert!!

Yet the only people willing to stand up for freedom are the Kurdish people who have been, insultingly, overlooked by the West. If the West was truly interested in a democratic process and freedom/sovereignty of a people, they would not have overlooked the Kurdish people, who are and will fight these Jihadists, without getting a special mention anywhere.

It's disgusting really.

Dead or Alive? Fate of hostage journalist in Syria unknown as ransom deadline passes

Morning Lady Jane - much thanks for pin!

you wont catch dungbert saying things truthful things like that

Don't worry LJS, however much this ends up costing the American tax payer it will still be less than Obummer's vacation costs over the past 4 years !

Afternoon SZ86, hehe!
I believe we ain't seen nothing yet, more drama coming. Bit fishy though that they know that Scuds were fired but they don't know where they landed. Who fires one ton ballistic missiles to insurgents anyway, doesn't make much sense.




Darayya is cut off for 37 days now without electricity and communications.

True that!

Hmm, ya know what? I remember a couple of months back a video of "rebels" that captured about half a dozen Scud launchers and AA platforms from a base.

Now what is to stop a couple of CIA ops from firing a couple off around Syria and the Turkish border? Even the snackbar squads could be taught how to launch them.

Bit of food for thought.

Ok I know, I know. But is anyone else sick of all this bs from the middle east? Just nuke it all. I am sorry but thats how I feel. Get it over with. Even if I lived there I would feel the same. All over in few seconds. Maybe I suck but thats how I feel. It just goes on and on. I love the people going thourgh all this but I would get sick of it all and living this day to day. Nuke me and be done...

Consider yourself a retard. Fucking moron.

How can you say such a thing ? Nukes are not the answer to anything !

Killing hundreds of millions of people and spreading fallout throughout the whole northern hemisphere...does that seem like a viable solution to you ?

Slaughtering millions and destroying the planet is all you would accomplish with nukes !

BREAKING: Another sensationalized thread

Morning DoorBert, thanks for the info. Wonder how they would coordinate 10,000 "UN" peacekeepers and how Assad would react??

Sub I wouldn't have even commented on that. I do however can understand that posters frustration with the un ending status quo of the middle east. Something has to seriously change the dynamics there because it's just not sustainable anymore, current pace there will be a regional war and it will be very ugly if this all keeps up.
