As New York Times wrote :

"The weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syria's Muslim Brotherhood and paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar..."

So I guess that a buffer zone along the border would make work of CIA operatives of training terrorists and smuggling arms and terrorists to Syria rather difficult and harder to hide.

Anyway, imagine for a moment there is a civil war in the US and Mexico becomes home to training camps for -say- Free American Army with a Revolutionary Council in Mexico City and Chinese Intelligence officers smuggle arms across the Sonora Desert into the US while a Chinese made jet is downed by US pro-Obama gunners. Would you call the former also aggression or would you rather be at a loss at to what they are talking about ?

> The reason why they have not is they have a common border with Russia and Iran! And the Russians are in bed with both of these pillars of virtue.<

You already forgot when the US had last been in bed with the Islamic Republic of Iran , didn't you ? Never heard of the Iran-Contra scandal or how the Islamic Republic of Bosnia was created by a common effort of the US and Iran? And as to "pillars of virtue" I'd rather not use the word in the vicinity of Turkey which has got such an outstanding record of genocides, aggressions and ethnic cleansings which you nonetheless most probably have never heard of. Well, the US -another pillar of virtue-has never recognized the Armenian Genocide, so why should a good US citizen bother ?

> The Syrian ports are the only place in the Mediterranean world where Russian ships have total latitude. Another reason is that Turks are not Arabs and they know all to well that by getting overly aggressive with an Arab state is fraught with a plethora of unforeseen ramifications not limited to Al Quada insurgents.<

The Turks do nothing without previously consulting their US masters. So if al-Qaeda is helped to come to power in Syria as it has been in Libya, it is a well-calculated and strategic decision. Who can create more chaos than America's old good jihadist friends?

>Frankly, I am appalled at whats going on in Syria. Assad cannot be so deluded that he can survive this.<

Nor can he be so deluded as not to understand that the next public lynching and Hillary Clinton's sneers will target him. He has no other choice but fight those who want to kill him and his family and change Syria into another joint venture run by al-Qaeda, Moslem Brotherhood,Qatar and the US.

> Islamic countries have finally gotten up the courage to challenge their Despotic governments but they don't trust each other enough to make a sustainable stable government. This situation is extremely dangerous and has the potential of on out of control wild fire. Major powers could be drawn into this issue. Assad needs to leave or be neutralized.<

I must admit you're good at repeating the official propaganda. And still can you tell me what is happening now in "free" Libya after the allegedly so despotic and unjust government of Qaddafi has been toppled ? Where is the freedom? Where is democracy and equality? How about human rights?What I can see there is the shariah, the new Middle Ages,horrors of anarchy and war of all against all and US troops occupying oil fields. Isn't it exactly what "democracy" was meant to produce ? Now you are trying to serve the same meal to Syria through your Turkish, Saudi and Qatari waiters. But before you create yet another deadly "democracy" maybe you should stop to look back closer at the havoc wrought by the "democracies" you have already created?

> By the way up until 18 months ago the Turks and the Syrians were very close. I am wondering ... maybe there is a hidden agenda to make all muslims out to be the bad guys. FYI I have fought in Afghanistan 3 times and twice in Iraq. ...<

And haven't you met among your officers those who in the 80-ies and 90-ies had trained your brave jihadists to kill us kafirs with the most sophisticated US-made weaponry? And what do you think , how many new bin Ladens are being made now in the deserts of Libya and on the plains of Syria? In a few years we will see them and their comrades-in-arms flying their planes into towers in our cities and our politicians will keep assuring us that Islam or the activities of the CIA, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the 2010-ies have nothing to do with it.
