They fired it over Turkey because they know what would have happened if they fired it at Iraq.

The Turks will put a blase face on it but they're really not happy about this at all. This is major disrespect, accidental or not. The Turks have gone from a country that even the Soviet Union wouldn't mess with to one that serves as a proxy whipping boy for a pipsqueak neighbor. That and the EU rejection is not a happy sign for their new government.

A no-brainer.

American, Israeli, and Turkish air forces attack strategic targets in Syria and put the fear of God in those a**holes.

TELL me that wouldn't get their attention..........

Never screw with a Turk; they have long memories, bad tempers and they all carry knives.

"...backing insurgents in Iraq ..."

Translated means:

"...exporting terrorism..."

I say we bomb the crap out of Tehran, just to "taunt" Syria.

The Turkish foreign ministry said Syria had assured it that the incident was "just an accident'' during routine military training.

IMHO, this is a true statement. It sounds like one of the syrians "piece of junk" missiles failed to hit the friggin Mediterranean Sea. No word on where the other two missiles came down at so I assume they managed to actually fall into the Med.

...sources said Syria's attempt to fire a missile over Turkey, a Nato country, was intended as a snub to America.

A snub to America? Oookaaay.

MSG to boy Assad: The next to last country you want to pi$$ off are the Turks. They will most assuredly put your head on a pike.

Oh, and Bashir, tick tick tick...

Ask the North Koreans and Red Chinese who were in the Korean war if the Turks are easy meat.

I suspect Assad had secured a silent approval from the Turkish government; which, in spite of its NATO association is trying to be a regional player, a regional power in its own right, and its fundamentalist Islamic government is moving closer to the anti-Israel war-drum beaters in the Middle East.

Turkey’s silent approval of the use of its territory for the tests seems like a very logical progression in its foreign policy, regardless of its continued NATO ties.
