Basically what has happen is that the Turkey people are rebelling against their government because they've assisted the West by allowing Turkey to be used as a launch pad for the Al CIAeda rebels to funnel into Syria and fight a sectarian war.

With the NSA scandel going on and Liberals in a uproar over it, Obama can't appear to appeasing the usual Military Industrial war hawks suspects like John McCain and Lindsey Graham who provide him with the cover from right by beating the drums and saying he's to soft on the Syria regime.

So now they have to roll Bill Clinton out to give him his left cover, and finally they pull their ace in the hole that they've been holding for some time now and that's that the Assad regime will and finally is using chemical weapons.

If we the American people do not stand up this global corporate war machine we deserve the fate that ultimately will be dealt to us.
