Even though Syrian rebels have seized a number of the border crossings with neighboring Turkey, the Turkish government is apparently not done escalating their own border tensions wit the regime, deploying a number of batteries of surface-to-air missiles to the Syrian border today.
This follows several rounds of deploying additional troops and tanks to the Syria-Turkish border, following the downing of a Turkish warplane. Turkey has scrambled warplanes along the border several times since then as well.
The deployment of the missile batteries could be a serious complication for the Syrian military, which will presumably have to employ air power to try to reclaim the lost border outposts from the rebel fighters.
Of course, there is no guarantee that Turkey would automatically attack Syrian warplanes that were involved in their own civil war along the border, but with Turkish leaders openly backing the rebels the possibility cannot be entirely dismissed, which may dissuade Syria from launching such operations in the first place.
Is a WTF NATO member regime, and they are supporting the terrorists traind in Turkey.., they are at war with Syrian people.., what els did you wanted them to send to their broader, a happy birthday balloon to the US democratic party or for that matter the Neo Liberal fascist in England and Sweden….? They (US-England and other non democratic EU countries) waiting for the result of this last war by terrorists in one hand and the government forces in the other, then if the terrorists have gained anything major then they will send in Israeli and the NATO, if not they will continue this war until next US election, then they will have a bigger war to be ready for.., Iran war, Iran war is the way of Syria, Syria war is the way of Lebanon, and Syrian war is the way of Iraq and Etc. Look: there is no such thing as democracy in mind of people as Hillary Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama and others a like, what it is is what is called US and EU interests, their interests is the concept made by Paul Wolfowitz.., militarization, occupation of all and every country from Mediterranean Sea to northern part of Persian Gulf, closing in Russia and Central Asian country, having a better strategic control for war with China and Russia, that is the Obama and Hillary Clinton doctrine in democracy.
Syria still controls its borders. The rebels over-ran a few posts manned by about a dozen Syrian soldiers guarding each of them, but that was a few DAYS ago. the Syrian military has taken back those posts and the rebels control NONE of Syria's border.
This brings to mind the question of whatever happened to Turkey's claim that Syria shot down one of its warplanes over 'international' waters? I must have missed the follow-up in the news since I don't recall having heard a peep about it in weeks. Last reported, the underwater wreckage at that time only showed damage from onshore anti-aircraft fire — which would have put the plane clearly within Syrian airspace; no signs of damage from a missile which would have supported Turkey's claim. So what is the final conclusion and who apologizes; did Syria shoot down the plane over international waters, or is Turkey full of stuffing?
Seems awfully quiet in Ankara and in Washington on what was then a real hot-potato issue. Whatever happened to the media who had been screaming anti-Syria invectives in their headlines?
People: Look at the Syrian map.., look where the Aleppo and where Damascus location is. These terrorist groups trying to create a momentum for US – EU NATO – Turkey and Israel to invade Syria where they can circle Lebanon and then be able to move east toward Iraqi boarders, "Mitt Romney have said, US needs to go back into Iraq”. US has given up the non existing diplomatic contacts with Syrian government.., all and every enemies of the Syrian people no longer have a embassy operating in Syria.., all that talk about humanitarian and other BS coming out of these peoples mouth is nothing but another BS.., the EU and US plan is to occupy the entire northern part of middle east starting the war with Iran and eventually Russia and China. this is the new US democrats and liberals fascist Europe plan.
