Turkish officials have been pushing the idea for a long time, but US officials are saying that the latest round of talks on Syria have centered on invading northern Syria and conquering a “buffer zone” within it.
“It would be correct to say this idea is getting another look in the last week or so,” one State Department official noted. Turkish officials are presenting this as a solution to the “overwhelming number of refugees” in recent days crossing into Syria.
The number of refugees is just 55,000 people crossing into four neighboring countries, positively tiny compared to the millions displaced in the 2003 US occupation of Iraq. This isn’t the real goal of the “buffer zone” plan at any rate.
Rather, officials have recently been floating the idea of establishing the region to create “breathing room” for the rebel fighters in the country, giving them a safe base of operations from which to launch attacks on the rest of the nation. At present many of the rebels are operating out of Turkey, with a smaller number in Lebanon. Crossing borders to launch attacks has been inconvenient for them, however, and has threatened to see the conflict spill over into neighboring regions.
"This isn’t the real goal of the “buffer zone” plan at any rate”. You are freaking right is not the idea, the idea for US and NATO is to grab some land from Syria and if they could divide Syria into smaller region, as they have done to Yugoslavia and what Israel is been doing to Palestinians land. For US and NATO to have a military base for their mercenaries training these thugs and terrorists paid by Saudis and UAE for the feature use. Mr. Kofi Annan knows it so as entire people in State Department, CIA, and all other involved knows it to. There is no honesty in this plan, there never was an honest member in NATO and there never will be: Look they lost their bet on Syria, so they are making the situation worse then it is, these people making a point and that is: you are dealing with these dictatorial Tyrants Mafia and NATO militarism regime, the executive planer of all these is Hillary Clinton, one can not expect anything els then dishonesty.
Hells bells. So much for all that diplomacy nonsense.
Come on MoT, the planned "solution" was never going to be a diplomatic solution…I'm mean, the US/EU and hangers on have all this warfare hardware and facing dwindling sandboxes (no pun intended) – they have to have somewhere to play with them. So…it's just another Islamic state with a destabilized citizenry…prime target.
Tongue in cheek my good fellow. Sarcasm is difficult to show with simple key presses. I always knew this was just another setup. The US will never stop until it gets a justifiable kick in the nuts. Repeatedly! That's the only language the archons understand: death and the fear thereof. Anything else just buys them more time on your shekel.
Uncle Sam is going to transform Syria into a real paradise, working miracles there just like we have done in Iraq and Afghanistan. 55,000 Syrian refugees? Heck, with American know how, we ought to be able to bump that figure to 550,000 in no time at all. Syria is an enemy of Israel and an ally of Iran, so creating chaos there will be approved by those that matter in the USA. Bit tough on the Syrians, but who cares about them?
Zionist Psychopaths own our Government and Media and did 9/11. Osama Bin Laden was dead 9 years before our Dear Leader announced that he killed him. Prepare for War in every Middle East nation that threatens Israel.
Prepare for an attack on every country that opposes the Zionist entity.
A vote for Obama is a vote for more war. That is very clear.
A vote for Romney is a vote for more war. That is also very clear.
Its up to you if you want to vote for war. All the lies and pretensions of the Democrats being against the wars are now gone. So, are you going to vote for war? There will be other names on the ballot. Names that are not votes for more war. Will you choose to vote for them? Or will you vote for more and more and more war?
Sure there are the usual robots voting for their particular wing of the one-party state. So long as they're promised goodies the supposed other side denies them. It's all a sad sick joke and the majority of fools never wake up from this delusion.
SHOWDOWN……???? Another war…??? All of the above! … What are they going to do about this…. [

Oh what a shock. Turkey wants to grab the part of Syria that is probably mostly PKK owned. I am sure they will station their troops along the norther part of Iraq so they can control the syrian part. Piece by piece they are building the old ottoman empire. I wonder how Israel will like when again the land is a part of the ottoman empire. The good news is even if there were almost no jews in the area last time they were treated very well. It is very difficult to figure that Turkey would treat them worse than the chosen treats others who have the misfortune of getting under their thumb.
LOL! 'BUFFER ZONE!' Not a 'no-fly zone,' no, not a 'no-kill zone' (Slaughter) and not a 'safe zone,' (Son of Cain). Way to keep rebranding murder on the taxpayer dime. Got a better idea. How 'bout the rest of the world as a no-US-zone?
With NDAA you can count on the entire world being a Buffer Zone against any opposition or "thought crime". Welcome Big Brother.
The US should mull minding its own f*cking business for a change. Haven't the lessons of failure re: Iraq and Afghanistan shown them that the Israeli method of dealing with the Arabs is worse than useless?
I do hope that those under siege from the outside meddlers who think they know what's best for everyone, everywhere, ALL of the time fight back for their independence from colonial domination.
Instead of "mullinng" buffer zones they should try some heart burn reflef medication – it would be more effective and cheaper for what ails them.
There are conflicting reports about some senators being Communist and some being jerk, some are there to make money and some are fascist with no respect whatsoever for domestic or international laws, this man is one of them:” WASHINGTON, March 7—Under question from Sen. Sessions at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey indicated that "international permission," rather than Congressional approval, provided a 'legal basis' for military action by the United States”.
The translation of these kind of language is simply this: Democrats would love to have a war or two with or without reasons, but cannot do it alone so they need to do it with NATO, (Bill Clinton proved that is possible by starting the Balkan war) or UN resolution where NATO is involved as well.
THis man Sen. Sessions; however, is for war no matter what and thats fascism, his after blood of whom ever is out there as long as he can use the US military to kill that SOB, as long as they are Arabs, as long as they are against Israel apartheid regime, this man got something against them and wants to use the US militarism to kill that SOB, or for that matter that nation, wipe them out of this earth because they are not americans and they don't want to listen to this man.
Where the hell these people are from, and how the hell they get into US senate, what is their background, are they educated in any social matters – subject at all, do they know anything about social politics beside what Bible is saying, are they relating themselves as the profits or saints ….? They are not from this plant thats for sure, what they are doing is what people need to know.
Yet, US needs to be at war, is in its system, is in its nature being and acting as a macho man or a drunk cowboy shooting at everyone and everything asking questions later, no disrespect to real cowboys, they are hard working man and women who don't depend on these kind of BS by an no good senators.
