#2 Lots of ammo/weapons dumps around that part of Iraq, boys. Grab a gun and some RPG's, and go show Baby Assad what a revolution looks like from the losing side. I mean, obviously we can't guard the WHOLE border, right?

#4 Dare we hope there is some sinister (this time real and Western)conspiracy? I hate to be an optimist.

#5 Looks like the balloon may be going up in Syria?
Sooner or later we're gonna need a causus belli to get in there and do our democracy thing...
I'm pleased as punch that the Kurds on our side, not to mention our kick-ass U.S. military!
Baby Assad, Bring it on.

#6 "Dare we hope there is some sinister (this time real and Western)conspiracy? "

Let us hope, but myself I am rather pessimistic about the West's capabilities to conspire -- and I think that Iraq is many years away from being capable to exert power in the area without tearing itself apart in the process.

#7 Tanks and helicopters surrounding cities! Doesn't Assad realize that within days millions of Europeans and Americans will take to the streets to protest this act of fascist oppression? Ahh, maybe not.

#8 "The unrest began at a soccer match in Kamishli and spread around the whole Kurdish area"...

It's nice to see them killing for other reasons for a change. I guess even killing for Lallah needs some spicing up once in a while:)

#9 I was thinking this evening that I saw a report just last week that Turkey had started de-mining operations on the syrian/turkey border.

coincidence?
