Turkish foreign ministry officials say they are planning to request a NATO Patriot missile deployment along their southern border, but while they are couching it as a defense move, others are indicating it is anything but.
Rather other officials say they are considering not just defending Turkish territory from any theoretical spillover, but are looking to install them at the border to create a de facto no-fly zone in northern Syria to help the rebels.
Turkish officials say that this is just one of many scenarios being discussed, but with many in NATO chomping at the bit to insinuate itself directly into the Syrian Civil War, the prospect of deploying multi-million dollar missiles to “protect” Turkey from cheap artillery rounds straying across the border is too good to pass up.
The problem, then, is how NATO goes from deployment to imposing a no-fly zone, since the UN Security Council has not, and presumably will not, authorize one after NATO used a similar resolution in Libya to launch a full-scale war of regime change.
Intersting….
Well…it certainly looks as though the very next day after the US Presidential Elections was quite a "busy" day indeed…
–David Cameron, the UK Prime Minister, flies by helicopter into the Nation of Jordan to make a 'surprise' visit to a Syrian "refugee" camp–so as to pose for the cameras and pledge "official" 'support' for the non-existent "Syrian opposition" 'government'….
—The Nation of Turkey talks of arming the Syrian/Turkey boarder with Patriot missiles…and supposedly intends to "formally" request these weapons from NATO…
Well…I was obviously 'way off' when I predicted outside 'direct' military "Intervention" was the "game-plan" all along here (the so-called "rebels" are complete joke stooges)…
I concede Ditz was, in fact, correct that we "dodged a bullet" with this whole 'Romney' thing..phewwwww..
For a second there I must have just lost my mind and thought 'direct' military "Intervention" was the Obama game-plan all along…
We said that from the beginning that: 1- the Syrian war is part of the plan drown by Paul Wolfovitz the father of all Zionism in America and that Obama is following the path 2- the plan is based on occupying the entire northern part of Persian gulf from Lebanon to afghanis and Pakistan if possible. 3- Encircling Russia and Iran isolating them totally where Russian would not be able to have any friends on their southern borders in that region and for Iran to be isolated from all direction. 5- When the war in Syria started we also said that this is a religious war based on dividing all and every relations there is between Iran, Iraq, Syria, Russia and china, in reality although us and eu militarism path seams to be changed in last 4 years but is following the same idea and the original plan by Paul Wolfowitz. 6- we also said that wait until after election, you haven't seen nothing yet.., that this war is going to escalate and by turkey asking for missile defense proving the fact that this war is entering the phase 2 which is the escalation of the war and possibly extending it where NATO and the saudis, Qatar's and other tyrant régime can enter the area "materializing" the idea of Paul Wolfowitz for real, here what Obama has done is his way changing the entire scenario by starting the Syrian war which is a ultimatum to russia and china to back off of Middle East, not for the sake of Israel or Palestinians but rather for us and EU economical interests which ultimately Israel will benefit from it, the obstacle here is us and EU support for the jihadist which forcing us to Chang their standing toward the other side which is called "rebels" not being united in any way, even they have doubt about USA and EU "interests",even they want have guarantee for NATO not to start what they did to Iraq. That is one of the reasons Obama always go back and points out at Bush wrong politics, is just that the democrats hand in hand with the EU Neo Liberal fascism would have done it differently, as they all ready done so.
This would be a very different meaning of "no fly zone." Missiles along the border is entirely different from air raids roaming over the country bombing a vast variety of targets.
One "no fly zone" is not the same as another, and we ought not to confuse them all under one name as if they are all one idea.
The stated reason for the Patriots is obviously bogus – you don't use Patriots to shoot down mortar shells.
The Patriots are there because Turkey KNOWS that NATO is planning to attack Syria and they want no MISSILES coming their way. The Patriots will NOT be used to IMPOSE a "no-fly zone" – they will be used to defend Turkey WHEN the "no-fly zone" – AKA foreign military intervention – occurs.
As I've been predicting for months here…
And yes, within 24 hours of Obama being re-elected, the entire Syrian and Iran crisis has taken off again, as I predicted, unlike the idiots who still believe Obama is going to use a second term to achieve some "diplomatic solution". That was just wishful thinking by a pack of fools who have serious cognitive dissonance problems.
