Title: TURKISH PARLIAMENT OKAYS SENDING TROOPS AND WARPLANES INTO SYRIA

Turkey's state media reports that Turkey's Parliament has passed legislation allowing Turkish troops to move into Syria after shelling from Syrian territory killed five Turkish citizens.

This legislation gives the Turkish government an open door for one year to send to troops and warplanes into Syrian territory as needed whenever Turkish interests are at stake or have been attacked.

An anonymous Turkish official said his government has no intentions of declaring all-out war. Rather, the situation in Syria has gotten so bad that Turkey has to take these steps as a defensive measure.

The authorization to send troops comes on the heels of exchanges in gunfire between Turkish troops and Syrian forces during the day on Wednesday and on Thursday morning.

Turkey attacks Syria + Israel attacks Iran = World War III. It is said to start in the middle east. I so hope it to be true, and I will be looking towards the clouds and praying every step of the way.

Keep in mind too that Turkey is part of NATO. An attack on one member country is considered an attack on all 28 members. The scenario I see possibly playing out is while we're busy helping a NATO partner...Iran decides to take out Israel knowing we don't have the resources to back them up AND help Turkey.

Here comes the 3 AM call, and Obumbles is too busy/tired from his golf game and house hunting in Hawaii to answer it.

Either that or he'll just turn the ringer down and pretend the phone never rang.

Kind of like they did with the embassy asking for more security prior to being attacked on September 11th?

Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan warned Syria on Friday that Turkey would not shy away from war if provoked, but a series of mortar bombs fired from Syria have hit Turkey since then.
