Sorry... accidental post. I'm an idiot. Please ignore

China and Russia are not in NATO.

I feel so smart now...

Currently all Assad is doing is rearranging deck chairs on the titanic....

Russia and China are not going to risk their own nations to save Syria.

Hmmm....I personally think we need to keep our nose out of this completely. If Syria and Turkey throw down...so be it. I have a hunch the Turks will kick Syria's ass but...just a gut feeling. Turks are some pretty tough mofo's.

If Iran is involved with supporting Syria, I have no idea why they would want to draw Turkey into this. Let's face it, the Islamic world owes their very existence to the Turks...ya know...those guys that used to be the Ottoman Empire? Those guys that spread Islam over most of the world where it thrives to this day?

I think the whole of Islam needs to back up on this one and think real hard. The Turks are probably the LAST people you want to eff with over there.

I just want our country out.

There was a famous quote and I cannot recall who said it...maybe one of you do...

"There can be no Liberty or Prosperity in times of war"

After nearly 11 years of constant warfare....I'm tired of it and we are broke from it.

obama needs a war by election time

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO ambassadors will meet on Wednesday evening to discuss a mortar bomb fired from Syrian territory which killed five Turkish civilians, a NATO official said.

The official said the ambassadors will meet under Article 4 of the NATO charter which provides for consultations when a member state feels its territorial integrity, political independence or security is under threat.

Im going to guess they will condem this attack, Assad, and say not to do it again. Then again, I could also see them saying Assad and the violence has gotten way too out of control, and it's time to strike Syria.

I wonder if this will be brought up in the debate tonight?

Good! I am ecstatic that Turkey retaliated against this evil regime! Someone needs to show some b@lls and do something about this murderous regime, killing innocent women, children and others. I am sure there will be accusations of false flags, it's America's fault, blah, blah, blah... What we need to do is have Russian and Chinese government officials stand on the border between these countries, so Turkey can have something to aim at. These two countries(Russia and China) need to be removed from NATO! Their behavior in this situation is despicable!

This needed saying bravo
2nd line

it's all a game to these retards, it has NOTHING to do with human rights or oppression. obama kills more than that everyday with drones, yet we don't see the UN having a meeting for them.

I think Turkey better not get into an escalating conflict in the east because there is something to their west that always wanted a bite out of them. This would be the perfect moment for them. Unlikely but possible.

Will there be no elections when the US is a state of war...?

sec.line

Wow, so the US and Saudi plan seems to work.

I've read on a newspaper called "Hurriyet" 1,5 months ago when I was on vacation in Turkey, and it was said that the US did a scenario sometime during spring for a whole day where they targeted to drag Turkey into war with Syria, but without troop support from U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

They gained this aim by increasing PKK attacks, especially bomb attacks all-across Turkey, including a bomb attack in Gaziantep (which indeed happend and killed 8 ppl).

Watch this and you'll understand. He says a pretty nice line: "Imamate versus Caliphate"

So Turkey retaliated....

I guess we wait and watch to see if it escalates.

As far as the poster above asking about elections in war. I have no idea. I would say that yes there would be unless there is a provision for martial law and a declared war...which we have absolutely no reason to do.

Turkey is a top 10 military power. I do not think they have to worry, especially when they are protecting the integrity of their borders.

This isn't going to end well. Attack Turkey, NATO pretty much has to respond due to treaty.

Can you fix your sentence as i can not understand your point.

Turkey is a NATO member.

One of the oldest writings of long, long ago and a half long....say that for sure, yes we should stay out of it.....the writings mention Damascus, it ain't pretty. The poster up there three spots is right-on....let's stay out

Not necessarily. Only if Turkey wants to invoke article 5, which they most likely will not.

This individual incident will be manageable. It raises the heat though.

Lol, Iran?

This was probably carried out by Syrian (Libyan Al CIA Da) Rebels to try and bring NATO into the conflict. It is certainly not in Syrian or Iranian interests for that matter to attack a NATO country, rofl.

Do the math IMHO, The only people who will benefit from this saga is, indeed, those who seek to remove Assad and those who want to further isolate Iran.
