Massive explosion rocks Damascus.

there has been a double bomb attack in Reyhanlı , a small town on the border with Syria . The biggest terror attack in the history of the Turkish Republic , it is sort of out of scale . Even the worst seperatist attacks have used less explosives but it's naturally kid's play compared to the extensive experience of Iraq and so on . Goverment says it's leftists acting on Syrian command , the locals have been involved with fights with the refugees from Syria -suggesting a ploy to get a military intervention on the grounds of revenge . Goverment's intelligence service , better known as similar sounding to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , has of course succesfully saved 4 Turkish captives from the clutches of the Taliban in Afganistan . Which should come as no surprise . We operate in full American way of doing things here ...

damascus seems to be still winning ...

Eh? Damascus is trying to provoke Turkish military intervention? That doesn't make much sense.

We are talking about Turkey. Half the country is probably convinced that the other half did it; and the other are probably convinced that Syria did it on behalf of the other half.

the PM will be visiting Washington soon . His agenda does involve a No Fly Zone , where the US has to beat them Russkies and Chinese in the UN into accepting and then carry out . Before it was attributed to a translation error , it was supposed that he had also promised to support a US ground operation ; but then it's very Unislamic in a way to call a Crusade to ensure freedom for our Sunni Brothers . Considering the US has had carried out Pearl Harbour , ı doubt we would ever be free of accusations . Anyhow it appears Washington has already ordered a slow down . Lots of spirited speeches from the goverment on human rights and the fear of the Judgement Day when Allah will ask people what they did for Syria and so on and some hostility against the UN Security Council , as per SOP in Turkey . As if anybody out there doesn't know we won't go . As such vengeance will be "sought" , in some undetermined future .

with apologies as regards to consecutive posts , but it's just the usual thing :

is the shame ever going to end ? An Air Force F-16 crashed near the Syrian border . Now that reported to be based in Merzifon , it is either a Lantirn or an HARM plane , and was sure to take part in the "punishment" to come . Pilot radioed he was ejecting and 4000 people searched on the ground for hours , finally to find him dead . At least they didn't find his flight boots with socks folded and tucked inside , as it was in the case of last year's Phantom incident .

yes , such accidents do not happen to Israelis . Only because they would run to mama America and it would be a real nuclear war .

ı don't get what do they teach as wingman business in the THK . One would expect the rest of the flight to do a 360 and spot the chute ; at least take a radar bearing on the stricken plane to pass the GPS coordinates and the pilot , dead or alive , would have been retrieved in an hour tops .

doubly ugly in that the incident comes on the day the main Opposition party reported up to 700 members of the Air Force have been cashiered / "liquidated" for being Alevis . Whatever ...

henceforth losing F-16s , too , is a court martial offence . Goverment generals can not keep it words when it comes to lackeying , it's seen . But , if America doesn't go in , who are we to do so ... And if America does , who are we to join ...

one more thing that might also become big in the days to come , if comments to new sites can be taken in any serious way , is that American style Bible-pushing has also come to Turkey . The top Imam of the city giving a Kuran to the pilot's father to decrease the pain . Turks in Turkey either already have a Kuran at home or they don't ...

Yes it's strange. Was the Kuran "blessed" in some way? Or are they considered lucky presents? Or used to commemorate events? I don't know.

it is Bible pushing .

Is the Bible addictive? Does it create its own market in the same way that opium does?

Only for the masses.

lots of long faces on Turkish TVs last night . There was certainly an expectation that the US would lend an hand to an invasion and toppling of Esad , unable to resist to the righteous cause of the Turkish goverment . With media pumping it to the Turkish population with brakes off ; we were attacked in Reyhanlı afterall .

flatulance en masse , if daydreaming by gasbags seem too obscure a definition ...

to repeat it once again the the supposedly mighty Turkish Military is such a piece of sh_t . That the ease it has been defeated has led a decisively tilted appreciation of the "capabilities" of this new Turkey . So what , if the death toll in Reyhanlı is now above 50 ? The West will soon give medals of all sorts to anybody who kills Turks .

by the way Intervention-in-Syria-but-America-must-operate-stealthily Islamists are already blaming the people of that town , the Reyhanlı folk are bloody murderers and have taken to smashing Syrian refugee heads and dumping the dead around as casualties of the double blasts . In case these currently famous heart-eaters operating with such impunity and glory in Syria are ever linked to the event . The guy on TV even accuses Turkish Nationalism , for the people of Reyhanlı have jumped at the slightest provocation of Turkish flag used in lieu of toilet paper . Even the rumour of it ! So he says ... As such the Turkish casualties are not what they are reported to be and the event must not stand in the way of erm , uhmmm , ah , uhmm , Islam .

it is suureeely the fault of Damascus . They of course know when 73 police cameras are to go off-line 48 hours prior to the attacks , they of course land tons of explosives from the sea unnoticed , of course the well known and long identified ring leader has crossed the border four hundred times in the last two years , of course Goverment's Intelligence service warned everybody , including the Congregation's Police months ago . ı don't know , but do think that the Syrian spymaster's 400 trips is part of the counter-attack by the Police .

rule number whatever in conspiracy : America invades when America wants . There is so much learned railing against , say Russia . Lots of men - of more than a few were -or even are- in Russian payroll and they accuse Russia of lacking strategic vision , by resistance to the glory of "Turkey" . Russia was offered continued use of the Tartus Naval Base , as if Ankara owned Syria . As such when Barack Hussein , whom Ankara put to office -according to strategists talking on Turkish TVs- doesn't talk the talk ... But it's not all lost ; America accepts Turkish mastery of the world ; in that Blair House , the temporary residence for the PM is biggerrrr than the White House . Has 36 bathrooms , even ...

there is even this formerly Racist in practical terms / currently democratic TV channel that translates White House , not as the Palace where the US Presidents live/work but as a white painted dwelling . You would have to speak Turkish to see the grandeur of my country to see the difference between the Beyaz Saray and Beyaz Ev ... All in a week that has seen the first reported discussion of camps for the internally displaced in Turkey after the "future" UN-led intervention to stop bloody Turkish racism and stuff and whatever . Not concentration camps , of course . No planning for gas chambers , but epidemics "can be ignored" ...

Yep, always nice to have your NATO allies with you when you're going up against a brutal middle east dictator. Like, say, Iran 2003... Oh wait, that's right, Turkey gave us the bird.

EDIT: I swear, I meant Iraq!

I think you're mixing up years now V, Iraq was 2003, Iran was 1953.

/me blinks

Oh Lordy. Look, I swear, I know the difference between Iraq and Iran. Don't know what happened there, but please don't add that to the general "Americans are stupid at geography" pile.

I'm just happy you're not the one pushing the big red button.

You know so little of Americas. All homeowners have an emergency nuke button installed!

Assad screwed up so IT wont happen just yet. When It happens it'll already be too late.

Chrck this out, from Granma International English May 17, 2013
I.e., who wants war and who wants peace?

IT was enough for a high-ranking Israeli intelligence official to allege on April 21 that the Syrian government was deploying chemical weapons against so- called insurgents, for the infamous phantom to reemerge as the pretext for a possible military invention in that country.
Accusations immediately rained down on Damascus from Western capitals and even U.S. President Barack Obama pointed the accusing finger, threatening to change the rules of the game if the use of these weapons were to be confirmed.
But, why and to what end is this issue being whipped up after the disastrous experience of Iraq 10 years ago, when the George W. Bush administration assured that Saddam Hussein’s possessed weapons of mass destruction, an assertion that proved to be false, but left Iraq destroyed after the aggression of U.S. and NATO troops.
In recent weeks, the Syrian Arab Army has made significant advances throughout national territory against the mercenary groups sponsored by regional and Western governments.
In parallel, authorities are advancing in terms of implementing the political program, a document proposing a route map to make concrete an end to the conflict through dialogue with all the political and social organizations involved, as well as with belligerent groups who lay down their arms.

well , the operations of entire War on Terror thing revolves around creating a favourable situation for the establishment of a Kurdish state that will take off the heat from the other designs of the West , say an entity -or was it a state- called Israel and so on .

plus Turkey would have been "taken to fight" in Anbar , the Sunni Triangle , Felluce and not in the easy North , where our troop presence could be used to hinder Kurdish "ambitions" for oil fields . And it was all agreed and would have happened until the US itself got involved in the Parlementary voting with the field offices making last minute calls . The reason has long been given as the last minute detection of people with bags of fresh minted US bills to bribe any Arabs , to go easy on the Turkish invaders . America doesn't like the American way of fighting very much .

yeah , America gives the finger always and yet no attempts to break that finger , to make a point ...

ı was allowed in a forum in about 2006 or so , the thing came up and by the end of 2009 , ı lost some amount of Money for the American invasion of Turkey didn't happen that year . It was cheaper to arrest officers , patriots and American assets mixed , to bring about the plans , afterall ...

indirect confirmation from the Turkish Goverment that the El Kaide affliates load car bombs in Turkey . Debateable whether it was El Kiade that carried out the Reyhanlı bombings .

the situation arises after a hacker group claims capturing Jandarma documents that detail the activities . Goverment denies it was an hacking and declares the conscript who leaked the documents is under custody . So the question becomes why .

a) the glory of being smarter and hacking "enemy" computers was a central theme in the rise of the new Turkey , where the Old Republic leaked like a sieve and deserved to die . This obviously can not be allowed to happen to the new Turkey , even if it means giving official evidence to any future UN Tribunal that will justify a No-Fly Zone and beyond for Turkey ;

b) or maybe the newly elites think as a heart -winning operation for the Sunni Arabs who will just drop dead at our cuteness with supporting their "champions" , the El Kaide .

this being CFC and me being r16 ... This goes on under full understanding , even command and control of the US , justified at the White House level as a some sort of sting to get assets within El Kaide structure .
