Syria don't have debt to the IMF
Syria don't support Monsanto gmo crops
Syria don't have a Rothschild owned bank
Oil gas

Isn't that why the US ploughs into everything with two left feet?

Indeed, what do the moribund, impotent, hostile, ineffective leaders, Cameron, Erdogan, Hollande and Obama have in common?

I agree to all the previous, plus Iran loses a foot hold.

Thanks to the participation of their Rafale fighters against Libya, they were awarded a contract by India for Rafales as being the only "combat proven" between the contestants.

Turkish PM says limited action against Syria won't be enough, calls for Kosovo-like intervention.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Syria is soon becoming a reality.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said the U.S. statement on a "limited" military action against Syria will not be enough to satisfy Ankara, pleading for an intervention similar to the one in Kosovo in 1999.

"A limited military action will not satisfy us. It [the intervention] should be like in Kosovo," Erdoğan was quoted by daily Hürriyet as saying during the Victory Day reception at the presidential palace on Aug. 30.

A few minutes earlier, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had given signs during a press briefing in Washington that the United States would act following last week's chemical attack in Syria, but said its response would be "tailored."

Erdoğan told reporters that the intervention could take place next week.

"Looking at what Kerry has said, there could be an intervention prior to the G-20 summit. This intervention should not last one or two days, but push the regime to collapsing," he said.

The G-20 summit is due to start on Sept. 5 in the Russian capital Moscow.

Erdoğan said Turkey had made efforts to solve the issue diplomatically up to now, but had been unsuccessful. "We did not get any result for eight months. We had some work with Russia and Iran too, but we didn't get any results either," he added.

Answering a question, the prime minister also said that authority was with President Abdullah Gül with regard to mobilizing Turkish troops. "We don't need memorandums at the present moment. Parliament is on vacation until Oct. 4. Will an extraordinary session be required or not? We will talk about this with our president. He holds authority during the period in which Parliament is closed," Erdoğan said.

For his part, Chief of General Staff Necdet Özel told reporters that necessary preparations had been made, and he was "not worried" about the possible intervention.

He hopes. He wishes. He will not have it. North Syria will become Kurdish and Alawite. The nightmare of Turkey.

Erdogan and his sidekicks are going to go down in a blaze of glory trying Doc, and take the whole country down with them.

We can only wish.
If the RoC government had half a brain they will be at the ready, we may not get this opportunity again.

It will be funny when the Turkish army troops stationed in Cyprus get called to fight in the war whilst Obama and Cameron silently watch Erdogan burning away in the labrajian.
