Well, it looks like Turkey’s top security officials are going to be getting together tomorrow to discuss “radical policy changes” vis-a-vi Syria. Inspite of the tough talk and the UN staff withdraw I have a hard time believing Turkey is going to embark on a military campaign against Syria given most of their top military officials resigned just a couple weeks ago.
“Turkey will discuss radical changes to its Syrian policy when its top security council meets Thursday amid Damascus’ continued refusal to heed Ankara’s demands for reform.”
