Again, mere conjecture. Why do you focus only on the US and Israel when there are other powers with interests and influence in this conflict? This myopia is distorting your perception. Furthermore, I'm not interested in what you believe regarding Cabals or other stories, just the known facts. Every thread is hijacked with the same CT BS and it is tiresome to those who would like to conduct a rational discussion.

Whatever, these rants are boring. Please start another thread on the subject and let the rest of us discuss the events in Syria without constant interruptions about some imaginary bogeyman cabal.

It just goes to show how much attention you pay to these threads,


You said " and let the rest of us discuss the events in Syria without constant interruptions"

The Rest of Us?????????????????????????????????????

Check out the 10 pages of this thread and tell me who the rest of us are.

You keep trying to control these threads with threats of reporting.

These are public forums.

Now don't be silly and enjoy the craic.

What is "boring" is cutting and pasting comentary and "news" articles about the subject of Syria from different sources, with no comments, idea, conversation or thoughts of your own on the matter.

You just paste stuff in here and you don't say what you think about it, so one has to assume that you believe all of what you have read and pasted in here, and some of it is conflicting information.

Therefore you are not 'discussing' anything at all. Save for demeaning remarks about my "conjectures" you have nothing to say.

That's boring.

The problem with that non-solution is that what is happening in Syria has everything to do with the world bankers, state sponsored terrorism, and globalization.

How more accurate and simple can it be? I named the names of the people behind it and the reasons and you are lost in details that mean nothing. That is boring.

People all too commonly let themselves get distracted with unimportant details about who did what to who and what people think about it.

This demeaning of members seems to be a common trait among a few regulars on here.

It beats me why people do not use their own words to express their opinions.

One liners seems to be the order of the day.

Turkey: 115 Kurdish rebels killed in offensive...
Turkey's security forces have killed as many as 115 Kurdish rebels during a majorsecurity offensive over the past two weeks, the country's interior minister said Sunday.
Idris Naim Sahin said the rebels were killedin an airpower backed offensive near the town of Semdinli, in Hakkari province which sits on the border with Iraq. He said the offensive began on July 23.
Sahin provided few other details on the ongoing operation but said the security forces were trying to block the rebels' escape routes into northern Iraq.
Private NTV television said earlierthat as many as 2,000troops were taking part in the offensive and that public access to some roads in the area were blocked.
Earlier Sunday, Kurdish rebels raidedthree military posts in simultaneous attacks in Hakkari, sparking a clash at one paramilitary outpost that left six soldiers and 14 rebelsdead. Two government-paid village guards assisting the Turkish military were also killed.
The rebels fired on military posts in Hakkari province thatborders Iraq, including the paramilitary station near the village of Gecimli, some 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the frontier, according to a statement from the Hakkari governor's office.
Gov. Orhan Alimoglu said the attack near Gecimli triggered clashes that claimed the lives of 22 rebels, soldiers and village guards. At least 15 soldiers, another village guard and fivecivilians were also injured in the attack. There were no reports of any casualties in the attacks on the other posts.
The attack comes some six weeks after a similar raid on a military unit, also in Hakkari province, killed 18 rebels and eight soldiers, prompting Turkey's military to send warplanes and attackhelicopters to hit Kurdish rebel targets inside Iraq.
The rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, are fighting for autonomy in Turkey'sKurdish-dominated southeast region andmaintain bases in northern Iraq from where they launch hit-and-run attacks on Turkish targets. The conflict between the PKK and Turkish government forces has killed tens of thousands of people since the rebels took up arms in 1984.
The group is considered a terroristorganization by the United States and theEuropean Union. Turkey has raised concerns that Kurdishrebels could now alsoexploit a power vacuum in neighboring Syria and warned it would"not tolerate" any rebel threats from the Syrian territory. The Turkish government said last month that Turkish Kurdish rebels have seized control of five towns along the border in collaboration with Syria's Democratic Union Party, or PYD — an ethnic Kurdish grouping. It has launched military drills near the frontier in a show of muscle aimed at the rebels.
The military on Sunday sent reinforcements to Hakkari, launching ground and air operations to chase the rebels, the governor's office said, without elaborating. State-run TRT television said attack helicopters were firing on the rebels' escape routes in the rugged, mountainousborder region.
Turkey's leaders condemned the attack, which came during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, and said the government was determined to keep up the fight against the PKK.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the attack was a"dastardly assault" and issued a warningto countries allegedlybacking the PKK, saying Turkey was"powerful enough to bring into line enemy-country (puppet masters) who hold the strings of the terror organization." He didnot name any countries and it was not clear if the statement was aimedat Syria, in relation tothe PKK presence there.
Erdogan has recently ruled out negotiatingwith the PKK to end the decades-old conflict and said state security forces would continue their struggle against the group until it lays down arms. The government has acknowledged that some officials have inthe past held secret talks with the rebels that were subsequently abandoned.
"Terrorism is, sooner or later, doomed to lose and to go up in smoke in the face of the people's resolve and determination," Erdogan said Sunday.
An estimated 20 percent of Turkey's 75 million people are Kurds. The government is trying to reconcile with the Kurdish minority by granting it more cultural rights.
Erdogan's government recently announced plans to introduce elective Kurdish classes in schools, building on moves that allowed Kurdish language television broadcasts,Kurdish-language institutes and privateKurdish courses.
The government however, refuses demands by Kurdish activists and politicians for full education in the Kurdish language, fearing it would divide Turkey along ethnic lines.
