US Government Urges American Citizens to Leave Syria as US Aircraft Carrier Approaches
As the violent crackdown against Syrian dissidents continues, the US government is warning all American citizens in the country to leave immediately, according to CBS. Turkish citizens are also being warned to stay out of the country. The US ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, was pulled from that country last month.
The U.S. embassy continues to urge U.S. citizens in Syria to depart immediately while commercial transportation is available,” began a statement released Wednesday on the embassy website. “The number of airlines serving Syria has decreased significantly since the summer, while many of those airlines remaining have reduced their number of flights.”
Meanwhile, Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge notices that according to Stratfor, the “CVN 77 George H.W. Bush has left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz, a critical choke point, where it traditionally accompanies the Stennis, and has parked… right next to Syria.”

You make a convincing case.
The Turks are a can of worms, but they beat Pohkistan and the Sauds
I would love to solve the worlds problems but I am on the phone to family.
Please forgive me if I appear rude.
No. He relished the moment. He fomented a revolution, just as he did in Tunisia and Egypt.
And he knew who the players are.

He ignored the people trying to rebel against Assad and the Iranian Mullahs
Anybody spot Israel? That is one small fly in the ointment. God bless Israel.
Just like he is fomenting the OWS people.
obama is an enemy to America and the American people... history will make the obama name a hated one.
LLS
He is like Mussaweenie.
On the wrong side of history
The Turks threatened Syria a few years ago and Assad quickly backed down. The have the second largest army in NATO.
Are you saying..smaller armies cannot defeat a larger army?
Oh please, if it was Bush threatening Syria, people would be falling all over themselves with excitement.
Though, of course, the Left would be outraged - both sides can be hypocritical.

“He ignored the people trying to rebel against Assad and the Iranian Mullahs”
Of course he did and that’s what’s disgusting! The Iranian people were begging for our help and our government and the rest of the western world did NOTHING!
But it’s perfectly ok to meddle in Egypt, Libya and now Syria???
Meanwhile “renamed turkeys” LIBERTY an PEACE in America have been pardoned?
The way boy zero acted when doing so worries me.
I thought that the Russkies had some ships off Syria as well.
The US and NATO are always the good guys so whom ever gets NATO humanitarian bombs dropped on them MUST be the bad guys.
For example, all those Christian Serbs killed by NATO bombs to put the drug dealing, white slaving, Al-Qaeda supported KLA into power were all as bad as Nazis.
All those Libyans that were killed and are still being killed by NATO's Al-Qaeda allies had it coming to them for allowing that brutal tyrant Gaddafi to be their dictator.
Yes! Yet another undeclared, unconstitutional war on the horizon we cannot afford
I pray that in the years ahead Obama will be so hated that he will have to leave America to find peace. This man is purposely trying to destroy ALL that is good about America.
Obama wants America and Israel destroyed.
