Somebody needs to keep up. The tomb is sovereign Turkish territory with a company strength guard in the best of times. The Turks went in and moved the body to near the border because it was at the center of the fight between the Kurds and ISIS.

We know from leaked recordings in the past year that Turkey has been planning to use the tomb of Suleiman Shah as an excuse to invade Syria in hopes of sparking a war:
Turkey’s plan to invade its neighboring country of Syria was uncovered when a secret recording leaked of the highest officials discussing a plan to launch a military aggression on Syria by using the armed terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
…
Erdoğan’s government was planning a false flag attack to be executed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) against the tomb of Suleiman Shah in Syria to justify the intervention of the Turkish army in Syria, therefore making an excuse to spark a war.
Suleiman Shah was the grandfather of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire, was buried in Aleppo. His grave was relocated in 1973, but it remains a Turkish extraterritorial enclave in Syria.
Well that plan has finally come to fruition:
TELEGRAPH – Almost 600 Turkish troops made an unprecedented incursion into Syria on Saturday night, rescuing dozens of soldiers guarding a historic tomb which had been surrounded by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) jihadists.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish president, said he “personally monitored” the operation, and claimed that no shots had been fired.
The 38 soldiers were brought back to Turkey with the 13th century tomb, which contains the remains of Suleyman Shah, grandfather of the Ottoman Empire’s founder.
DAILY NEWS EGYPT – The forces consisted of 39 tanks, 57 armoured personnel carriers, 100 vehicles and 572 soldiers, according to Turkish state run news agency Anadolu.
But they didn’t just ‘rescue’ their soldiers and bring back the remains of Suleiman Shah. They also sent another group to seize an area in Syria only yards away from Turkey:
Another group seized an area only yards from the Turkish border in Syria’s Ashma region, according to a statement from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s office.
The ‘official’ plan is to move the tomb to this Ashma region, but we all know there is much more to this. By seizing this area in Syria and raising the Turkish flag, Turkey is trying to provoke Assad into defending it and thus sparking a war that ends with Assad’s ouster.
Syria responded to all of this angrily, according to Walid Shoebat:
“Turkey is not here only to provide all forms of support and tools for ISIS gangs and other terrorist organizations linked to al-Qaeda, but at the dawn of day they traveled here to show aggression on Syrian territory.”
Syria knows Turkey is trying to force its hand, and whether or not they respond to this invasion, they will eventually be forced to respond as Turkey keeps making excuses for taking more of its sovereign territory. The writing is now on the wall for Assad’s ouster, which is exactly what Erdogan has been calling for and what Walid Shoebat says is Erdogan’s plan to bring about the new grand caliphate.
Great, damn Turks are going to drag NATO into a war.
World war 3 ... with the Moslem liar Obola, enabled by the
mute, EXEMPT Congress, sided with Iran, Turkey,
and the “rebels” (al Qaeda) against the American People
and their allies.
Eh...this is serious.
If Obama were serious about destroying ISIS, he would have dealt with “NATO ally” Turkey in a definitive manner. Turkey allows the conduit that permits recruits, supplies (including orange jump suits), medical services and communications to reach ISIS from the outside world. Without this conduit, ISIS would be isolated and would soon wither.
No, if a NATO member invades someone, everyone isn’t obligated.
The Big Question: Where is Putin, supposedly Syria’s ally?
Of course, the Turks will be the first to whine if NATO doesn’t back them up.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is ISIL, not ISIS. I know, small point...
I live near Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I think I’ll grab Rudolph Valentino and Mel Blanc.
Pssst,,,, all those supplies that Turkey moves to the Syrian moderates (isis).
We are the source of most of them. Remember all that non lethal aid we started giving them? And the lethal stuff came the via ratline from Benghazi.
Moslem on moslem. Get it on and let us know how it comes out!!.
It’s real simple. Bad leaders are ineffective and make bad policy.
I expect putie is in on all with obamma, as long as they maintain the image of all being separate actions the people of the world will stay asleep..Israel knows what is coming..
May God of Heaven, destroy all ways of man and grant us his reality again..Come lord Jesus
Putin would love to have control of the Bosphorus straight.Add in to the mix the possibility Greece will leave the EU and that place gets really interesting.
The Third World War began on the morning on September 11, 2001.
As for the Second Civil War... I believe that will be begin sometime before January 20, 2017.
Yeah. The Turks are a problem but the “invasion” was over in a couple of hours.
What the hell are you complaining about? The guy whom you loathed in post after post after post, ad nauseum, (and whom I didn’t like much) lost the election. You should be pleased. For those who stayed home, staying home has consequences.
I am so damn angry with everyone who said there was no difference between Romney and Obama. I would have fought Romney on his misguided social issues as hard as anyone if he were in the White House right now. But at least he would have fulfilled his most important responsibility — Commander in Chief.
