No one has to give credence to the words of Assad.

The USA has been there the entire time.

There is instability throughout the region and the Kurds are moving into a more autonomous stance.

If there was an invasion by The West into the region there would be more deaths than exist today.

(CNN) —U.S. troops arrived in Turkey on Friday to man Patriot missile defense batteries near the Syrian border, Turkish state media said....

Turkey has the Cat Bird Seat. No one knows what that means? Turkey has been an USA ally for a long, long time. It has control. The USA supports Turkey in protecting it's borders. It is why The West has been blocking munitions into Syria. If Syria lit up Turkey would be in the balance.

Russia and China know that.

There have been bomb blasts in Turkey that the political parties are calling attacks. They believe it is related to DHKP-C (Devrimci Halk Kurtulus Partisi/Cephesi - click here).

There are also complaints by Iraqi leadership the coziness of Turkey and the Kurds in oil trade will split the country.

The USA is not going to war again in the Middle East. It just isn't. There is no reason to do that with a highly stable and sovereign government in Turkey.

The DHKP-C is the extremist group of the Kurds that have lead the revitalization of the ethnicity in some ways, but, they have done so with violence. That is not going to work in the real world. The POLITICAL PARTIES of Turkey are standing together in opposition of any escalation of violence within the country. If only that was the case in Pakistan.

But, the topic of returning to the Middle East to fight wars for strange and unusual reasons is out of the question. There are sovereign nations in the region that are strong allies to the USA and NATO. There is every reason to defer to them to lead the protections of their nations and formulate solutions for the region.

The rough translation is a statement by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc. He is stating an alarm of concern to the radical act of violence. He believes the timing was a part of the attack to raise fear in the country. I think they have control. I am worried. He made a speech recently in Berlin about the Turkish vision into 2023.

While war mongering is good politics within the GOP, it destroys economies and a country's infrastructure besides killing people; which doesn't seem to be a priority for the GOP to prevent.
