Syrian mortars strike Turkish village, as fighting continues in the border area - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The chaos in Syria has once again spilled across borders, with mortars striking villages in southern Turkey. Clashes between the Syrian regime and rebels have raged for days near the Tal Abyad border gate, which rebels seized last week to the glee of Turkish supporters. But ongoing battles in the city of Tal Abyad have resulted in mortars hitting villages in the Turkish town of Akcakale, the town's mayor said, according to Turkey's Anadolu Agency. It was unclear whether there were any casualties. "We wish the war will end soon in our neighbor Syria," Akcakale Mayor Abdulhakim Ayhan told Anadolu. But inside Syria, the civil war raged on Sunday with no end in sight. Here are other developments in Syria's 18-month bloody crisis: On the ground: Signs and fears of new violence nationwide Large military reinforcements, including 30 armored vehicles, headed to the hotly contested northern city of Tal Abyad, opposition activists said Sunday. Rebels have been trying to take control of border crossings to secure a haven near Turkey, a country sympathetic to the Syrian opposition movement. But fighting in the border area show no sign of letting up. Rebel leadership announces move from Turkey to Syria Meanwhile, barrels of TNT fell in the western province of Latakia, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria said. Dissidents have reported an increased use of "barrel bombs" by the Syrian regime in recent weeks. Barrel bombs, often dropped by regime aircraft, are filled with TNT, nails and fuel to try to maximize damage, opposition activists say. Across the country, at least 25 people were killed on Sunday, the LCC said, including nine in Daraa province and six in Aleppo province The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, meanwhile, said the army killed a "large number of terrorists" in Aleppo -- the country's largest city and a key battleground between regime and rebel fighters. Armed forces "cleared" the area of a restaurant that "terrorists" had been using the as a center of operation, SANA said. Throughout the Syrian conflict, the government has blamed "armed terrorist groups" for fueling violence in the country.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/23/world/meast/syria-civil-war/index.html?hpt=hp_t3"]Source[/URL] This is what Aleppo looks like right now, btw, [IMG]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120923040156-03-syria-0923-horizontal-gallery.jpg[/IMG]

This is getting out of hand...

This is not gonna end well. Are they syrious?

someone needs to step up and slap dick to Syria's mouth bitch needs to get back in line

Turkey is going to snap at some point and get in there. Seriously; Turkey is not a country I'd like to piss off.

I wonder if Turkey takes one of these attacks as an act of war (which I feel is more likely every day), NATO will be called up to side with them. If so...please let the US just be material support, at best. We don't want nor need another war in southwest Asia.

[QUOTE=UnknownDude;37774363]There could potentially be Assad end to many lives.[/QUOTE] That Israelly possible, as we can see.

I wouldn't be surprised if there currently was discutions amid the turkey's government wondering if they should pack their shit and roll over Syria.

quit being pussies, turkey, and go fuck their shit.

Looks like this will have Abyad ending

The problem is neither side can end it as the other won't stop fighting because it does not achieve the end political goal.

Wow in the source: The country must be extremely fragmented when the opposition leaders can meet each other less than 20 miles from Assad's presidential palace; in the ruined remains of their capital city. but yet they the situation doesn't seem to draw to an end.

[QUOTE=smeismastger;37783458]Running out of proper bombs to drop on hospitals it seems.[/QUOTE] They're helicopter bombs. Its like rebels burning down schools, to prevent the opposing force from using them to their advantage. Collateral is hard to avoid against a insurgency supported by outside forces.

Whats funny is, our news reports arent detailed as you guys. I'm being knowledged of my own country by other countries news. Sad. [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] Like 1 minute of "More soldiers died today" and 59 minutes of "This politician did this, this celebrity did that"

This is assad situation

[QUOTE=smeismastger;37783458]Running out of proper bombs to drop on hospitals it seems.[/QUOTE] Hospitals, gas stations, mosques. Anywhere there are large gatherings of people. And yes, the regime has run out of bombs for their planes.

[QUOTE=Disotrtion;37784537]Hospitals, gas stations, mosques. Anywhere there are large gatherings of people.

Collateral does happen. Its like their Vietnam.
