What we've learned this past year is that the status quo in the Middle East is the better option. Despite Assad's backing by Russia and China, the alternative is going to be worse. If Assad is ousted, radical Islam will replace him. We already know this to be a fact. Doesn't Turkey know this? Do they want Iran, Jr. on their border?
The Turkish military mobilized large numbers of reinforcements from its eastern provinces to the Syrian border on Tuesday, amid rising tension with Damascus, after the downing by Syria of a Turkish Air Force jet on Friday, Turkish media reported.
Large numbers of Turkish troops — including at least 15 long-range artillery pieces and tanks – moved to the Syrian frontier from the eastern city of Diyarbakir. A video published by the Turkish Cihan News Agency showed Turkish tanks being transported by carrier trucks toward the frontier.
