LibGranny's JournalTurkish Artillery Targets Syria after Deadly Shelling
Source: Google News
Turkish artillery fired on Syrian targets after deadly shelling from Syria hit a Turkish border town on Wednesday, sharply raising tensions on a volatile border that has been crossed by tens of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing violence in their country.
In a terse statement, the office of Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, condemned shelling that hit the Turkish town of Akcakale, killing five local residents and wounding a dozen others. The shelling appeared to come from Syrian government forces who were fighting Syrian rebels backed by Turkey, which has called for the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"Our armed forces at the border region responded to this atrocious attack with artillery fire on points in Syria that were detected with radar, in line with the rules of engagement," the Turkish statement said.
"Turkey, acting within the rules of engagement and international laws, will never leave unreciprocated such provocations by the Syrian regime against our national security," it said.

Perhaps this is the distraction President Obama had during tonight's debate!
Great News!
My 87 year old mother-in-law told my husband she is voting for Obama this time! She was totally against him last election but she now says she can't stand rMoney! I'm so happy I'm gonna make a donation to Obama's campaign!
for Obama along with most of my family!
Although, I too, am somewhat disappointed more wasn't accomplished during his first term, I realize he had to deal with that bunch of idiots (aka Repubs) who stood in the way of any kind of progress - unless it was against abortion! I would vote for him just based on the fact that he's married to Michelle and not her highness Ann Rmoney!
I refer to him as Joe "DeadIntern" Scabro!
suits him
And Romney is an asshole for lots of reasons
