Turkish PM says limited action against Syria won't be enough, calls for Kosovo-like intervention

Hürriyet ^ | August/30/2013 | Anadolu Agency

"A limited military action will not satisfy us. It [the intervention] should be like in Kosovo," Erdoğan was quoted by daily Hürriyet as saying during the Victory Day reception at the presidential palace on Aug. 30.

A few minutes earlier, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had given signs during a press briefing in Washington that the United States would act following last week's chemical attack in Syria, but said its response would be "tailored."

Erdoğan told reporters that the intervention could take place next week.

"Looking at what Kerry has said, there could be an intervention prior to the G-20 summit. This intervention should not be a one or two days hit-and-run, but push the regime to the point of collapsing," he said.

The G-20 summit is due to start on Sept. 5 in Russia's imperial capital St. Petersburg.

Erdoğan said Turkey had made efforts to solve the issue diplomatically up to now, but had been unsuccessful. "We did not get any result for eight months. We had some work with Russia and Iran too, but we didn't get any results either," he added.

Answering a question, the prime minister also said that authority was with President Abdullah Gül with regard to mobilizing Turkish troops. "We don't need memorandums at the present moment. Parliament is on vacation until Oct. 4. Will an extraordinary session be required or not? We will talk about this with our president. He holds authority during the period in which Parliament is closed," Erdoğan said.

For his part, Chief of General Staff Necdet Özel told reporters that necessary preparations had been made, and he was "not worried" about the possible intervention.

Have at it Turkey, on your own dime for a change. They have been really good over the years at gumming up the works. Let’s see them take a lead role in the region/s

[Nifster]

Erdogan is as nuts as I’madinnerjacket. He wants WWIII so he can become head of a revived caliphate. Do NOT trust these lying weasels

[txrefugee]

Ah yes, Kosovo....all Muslims love Clinton’s Wag the Dog War that bombed Serbia for 78 days to get Monica-gate out of the news and allowed Muslim Albanian illegal squatters on Serbian land to claim that land as their own. The Muslims could then ethnically cleanse “their” land and burn centuries-old Christian monasteries and churches in the process.

No wonder Muslims love that kind of U.S. involvement in their affairs.

After MB took a hit in Egypt, Turkey is their major outpost of power now. Erdogan wants America to do the MB’s dirty work - it’s to transparent. Obama, as a supporter of MB, of course wants to do it, and even get the Republican Party to willingly sign on! The best thing would be if some patriotic generals in Turkey took the reins and put these Erdogan and his whole crew in prison.

Turkey must have a lot of extra popcorn and be looking for a worthy source of entertainment to go with it...

[Pearls Before Swine]

He’s Hussein obamar’s big muslim brotherhood pal. If he thinks so, Turkey can go to war with Syria.

Turkey has a powerful military. They could handle Syria, although it would be messy. I'm actually surprised they haven't taken slivers on their joint border as security zones--say five or ten miles at a time, as they've put up with a lot of provocation. Turkish border towns and refugee camps have been shelled.

Of course, if you can get the stupid Americans to do your dirty work, why not be patient?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Greatg!! Tell Turkey to get on with it. Let us know how it turns out.

[SunkenCiv]

The mistake Erdogan makes is in thinking that the US wants a quick resolution in Syria. Nothing could be further from the truth. Syria’s future looks a lot like Lebanon, or perhaps more correctly Afghanistan (during the Soviet occupation).

Carla Del Ponte is the UN official who claimed (in May) that the chemical attacks at that time were by rebels — claims that have resurfaced to support Assad — and we all know she’s an honest broker:

No, Turkey is not the MB’s major outpost of power now. The MB is the prison bitch of whomever’s paying the bills, same goes for the various al Qaeda groups, the dozen or more splinter groups of the PLO, etc.

Turkey is also not Salafist, or Wahhabist. Turkey’s muzzie population is primarily Sunni, but about a quarter of Turkey is Shiite (many support Assad); there are also Sufis, Bahai, a tiny Christian community (split among four sects it sez here) and a tinier Jewish community (two branches), and the country is mostly Turkish, with a large Kurdish minority, and at least a couple dozen other ethnic groups in small numbers.

The Syrian rebel factions were funded by various govs: the former emir of Qatar, who “retired” not long ago, was funding the most successful of the hardline jihadists, who were trying to murder the leadership of other factions, including the FSA. The emir was basically deposed by his son, who stopped the hemorhage of cash to both Syria and Egypt’s MB, leading to the successful Assad/Iran/Hizbollah offensive a couple of months ago, as well as the overthrow of the Morsi regime in Egypt.

Qatar was a major host for US forces during the buildup for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, which downfall was of distinct benefit to Iran; the MB Morsi regime in Egypt was also close to Iran. The Saudis opposed both Saddam’s overthrow and the ascendancy of the MB in Egypt.

The Saudis have several irons in the fire, trying to reestablish influence in Lebanon, and supporting still other militias in Syria, while supplying aid to Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, and probably Turkey.

On FR the main Saudi role is as scapegoat; ultimately all Islam has to be destroyed in order to have a civilization on Earth, but the Saudis have been so incompetent they are far down the depth chart of the team of enemies we face. Meanwhile, supporters of Assad support the Iranian mullahcracy’s jihadists.

Turkey’s army is second largest in Europe (after Russia’s), numbering north of 600K, and is probably more than capable of knocking off whatever it encounters in Syria. At this point, the civilian population would probably stream to meet the Turkish army as liberators.

Turkey has the Kurds to worry about, and Turkish Shiites, many of whom support Assad. And a war would be expensive.

Furthermore, the imperialist NeoSoviet leader Vlad Putin has already shown his contempt for national sovereignty with his invasion of the Republic of Georgia, and coups and other crimes in Belarus and Ukraine as he has reasserted Russian control over them. Russia breathes down Turkey’s neck.

[SunkenCiv]

That source is garbage, as is all the other Iranian, Russian, Assad, and Associated Press agitprop you’ve posted everywhere the past few days.

[PapaBear3625]

OK, Bro. You feel like doing it, go right ahead. We’ll just sit back and watch.

Oh, and if Iran and Russia get annoyed with you to the point of going to war, we’ll just sit back and watch that too.

[SunkenCiv]

Who said that?

Turkey need a venue to break out the popcorn and let all those it despises knock each other about. What did everyone say Bush was guilty of (other than a war criminal), a boondoggle?

Listen dummy, what is your expertise?

You’re spreading pro-jihadist agitprop, and that’s all you do, and that’s all you’ve been doing, and that’s all you’re here to do. You belong at AntiWar, InfoWars, and LewRockwell, so run along now, and don’t forget to take your meds.

[SunkenCiv]

This caliphate nonsense reminds me of “Highlander” — there can only be one, which fits historically — the only attempts at unity of the muzzie world have been conquests, and occupation by the successful ethnic group. Any of these jokers with pretense of creating a new caliphate won’t accept anyone but their own.

The muzzies were remarkably effective early on, but couldn’t remain politically unified, breaking up along ethnic lines, which led to sectarian schisms. If that weren’t the case, the whole world would have wound up ruled by a single caliph centuries ago.

[Yosemitest]

And you belong with the rest of the LOONY LIBERALS.
You provide no proof, only accusations which you can NOT back up.
SMEAR and DIVERT, and FEELING is all you have.
You have no logic.
Like I said , Put up (SOME PROOF) or SHUT UP !

It's about oil and gas.
Obama wants to trade American blood for Muslim Terrorist to have access to the Leviathan Natural Gas Field. It's already been verified by several sources that Saudi Prince Bandar provided chemical weapons for an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group which they blame for the August 21 chemical attack in the region.
Why?
Because the Muslims dont want Christians in their area, and they certainly don;t want them to have the oil and gas, and the wealth that comes from that.

That source said:

" As per the US Geological Survey (USGS) estimates, the entire Leviathan Basin holds a mean approximation of 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and a mean of 122 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas.

The Leviathan gas field's natural gas reserves are estimated to be about 17 trillion cubic feet (tcf). Besides natural gas, the field is said to contain 600 million barrels of oil beneath the gas layer. "

Another source said:

" Two years ago, in June 2010, the Leviathan, the largest gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean that stretches from Egypt to Syria was discovered by Houston Texas based Noble Energy. The natural gas reserves in that find that are in Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian territorial watersM are estimated to be something in the range of 25 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). Some experts are estimating that there might also be up to 600 million barrels of oil. And that is not all. Preliminary exploration has confirmed similarly impressive reserves of gas and oil in the waters off Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Syria.

That discovery is now causing enormous political, geopolitical as well as economic consequences. "

So now, the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF tells us something that HE KNOWS is ENTIRELY FALSE, because he wants the oil and gas to be controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and he's wanting to take out the competition that Saudi Arabia is having from Syria in oil revenues.

Again, Putin is VERY CONCERNED about WHO will sell oil and gas to Europe and had a deal with Assad about his oil pipe line.

While I agree with you about the United Nations wanting to "Rise In Power", I'm not saying it's about U.S. oil and gas concerns.
It's about RUSSIA's concerns, Saudi Arabia's concerns, Iran's concerns, Iraq's concerns, and Jordan's concerns.
But Russia will be the main player, and it's submarines, aircraft, and weapons will put the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF to shame.
This is none of our business.
The Kenyan Turd has no U.S. National Security Interest there AT ALL !
But Satan's servant, Obama, doesn't care about the law, or our precious resources and Nation Treasure of American blood.
DAMN HIM. DAMN HIM TO HELL!
