The Middle-East just got real real.
Turkey resumes attacks on Syrian targets a day after shells from across the border killed five Turkish nationals. [more]
Why is this any different, you ask?
One word: NATO.
NATO gets involved in combat against Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Syria.
Ahmadinejad faces humiliation. What does he do? What do the Iranian people do?
Almost all of the possible outcomes lead to NATO destroying the Iranian nuke sites,
and Netanyahu gets an answer to his questions: “Wait for what? Wait until when?”

Turkey? NATO? Don`t make me *raff*! NATO = USA + Poofters! Thunder Thighs will do what she does best; NADA….. EU = credit card maxed out!
Turkey = “Ottoman Empire, Part II…” Fly in the ointment = KURDS, ala Kurdistan hopes….
Potential Possibility = Ragheads v Ragheads………….
Yep. The NATO twats are toothless without US involvement. Why else did we get dragged into Libya? Because England, France and Italy couldn’t cough up a division between them.
Yeah, Turkey’s gonna have difficulty making a case with the US, given how they stabbed us in the back just as we were about to invade Iraq.
I’m thinking of designing and marketing a new tactical WMD especially targeted for the middle east and adjacent places.
Bombs and artillery shells containing weaponized hog fat. Coats everything within the blast radius and beyond.
Sell them to moslem countries that are looking to shell each other, especially when the sheller side is a different sect than the shellee side. Might sell a few to Israel too. Possibly reintroduce the concept of WMD deterrence to the region.
^ If my new WMD reintroduces deterrence — and therefore cease fires — to the region, will I get a Nobel Peace Prize?
Probably not, but you might get a one year supply of Spam.

Do doubt from Pakistani businessmen, Nigerian generals and other rich folk who just need my bank account number so they can share their wealth with me.
If Turkish forces tried to penetrate Syria from the rear, would Greece help?
The analyses I read indicate this isn’t a declaration of all-out war. It just gives the Turkish military a green light to respond appropriately to the next incursion. They won’t have to ask “mother may I” before firing off a counter-barrage — just do it.
^ Correct.
It won’t stop there, though.
Turkey’s been itchin’ to nail Syria for a looong time.
While they’re blowin’ stuff up and killin’ folks, they’ll probably use it as cover or justification to deal with the Kurds, too.
It’ll be interesting to see if NATO gives ‘em political cover.
This ain’t even begun.

OMG!!!
(If this goes viral, will there be Islamist riots?)
And I know its been said” So Israel is bombarded by 3,000 waco a-rab bombs–from any 57 country wack group for the last 15 years–and the UN says:
“Inconceivable!!” A country is fired upon, and actually fires back? What’s the world coming to.
Haven’t they heard of ROE?
