Arab states, Turkey plan 'No-Fly Zone' over Syria ("backed by American logistic support")

Senior European sources said that Arab jet fighters, and possibly Turkish warplanes, backed by American logistic support will implement a no fly zone in Syria's skies, after the Arab League will issue a decision, under its Charter, calling for the protection of Syrian civilians. The sources told Kuwait's al Rai daily that the no fly ban will include a ban on the movement of Syrian military vehicles, including tanks, personnel carriers and artillery, adding that this move would aim at curbing the movement of Assad forces, and cripple their ability to bomb cities. The European sources said the no fly ban might lead to the paralysis of the Syrian regime forces "in less than 24 hours." Meanwhile, it is reported that the leadership of the Turkish General Staff informed all the concerned parties with the Syrian issue its rejection of the idea that the Turkish army would launch any invasion to the Syrian territory including the area adjacent to the Turkish border to establish a "buffer zone" to protect civilians fleeing the violence.

I’m actually surprised that Assad’s regime has not heated things up with Israel before now, for just this reason.

With Assad & company’s survival at stake, it would not have been surprising had they initiated some ‘modest’ degree of conflict with Israel in order to force the Arab world to rally around Assad..... mb they will still try this option, not that I’m looking forward to it.

Well another butt-kicking of the Syrian Air Force by the IAF could always be fun, but one never knows how things could develop....

The reason is plain. The Arabs will take Israel’s side over Syria and Assad knows it.

The alliance to defeat Iran trumps the pissant in Syria

“So far as I can see, there was no UN Security Council resolution given to authorize military force against Libya.”

Irrelevant. The UN has no authority to place the US at war. Only, as you point out in the rest of your post, Congress.

A UN resolution may be feel good pablum for democrats and the masses. But it don’t mean a thing.

JIHAD PER TV REALITY SERIES!!

“ALL AMERICAN MUSLIMS”

TLC SUNDAY, 9 PM CST

Pam Gellar:
“All American Muslims” is an attempt to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to bully them into thinking that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.

The problem people have with Islam is its teachings of violence against and the subjugation of unbelievers. It is with the supremacist ideology and the fervent believers in those noxious doctrines of warfare and subjugation. The ultimate danger posed by a program presenting the “normal” side of life for American Muslims is that it isn’t’t accurate.

The danger is in the deception and obfuscation of the truth which results in the intellectual disarming of the American people.”
