Sandy made landfall along the New Jersey coast earlier Monday evening sometime around 7:30pm CDT wreaking havoc to all in its path. We now wait for the sun to come up to see just how bad it all was during and after landfall. Going to be real bad in a lot of places I’m afraid with deaths and injuries on top of it. Our prayers go out to all those that got hurt the most, to self and properties.

* CBC News had this AP report posted up early Saturday morning and it starts off like this… Turkey's president says his country would take the “necessary” action against Syria, a day after Damascus said it had shot a Turkish military plane that had entered its air space… Abdullah Gul said Saturday that Turkey was still trying to establish the exact circumstances of the incident but conceded the jet may have strayed into Syrian air space. He's convening another security meeting Saturday… Germany and Iraq urged Turkey and Syria to remain calm and not let the unrest in Syria become a wider conflict in the area…

Turkey vows to respond after Syria shoots down jet

.

* LATimes.com had this report posted up on their website early this Sunday morning and it goes in part like this. …Turkey has said it would act “with determination” once the facts were clarified… Turkey is a NATO member and was probably consulting the United States and other allies before deciding how to respond. But there was no public indication that Turkey was seeking support from North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies for retaliatory action…

* Google had the following AP report posted mid Tuesday afternoon and it starts off like this… Turkey warned Syria on Tuesday to keep its forces away from the countries' troubled border or risk an armed response -- a furious reply to the downing of a Turkish military plane last week by the Damascus regime… NATO backed up Turkey and condemned Syria for shooting down the plane but stopped short of threatening military action, reflecting its reluctance to get involved in a conflict that could ignite a broader war…

.

* NYTimes.com reports it this way… Buoyed by support from his country’s NATO allies, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Syrian forces on Tuesday to stay clear of their troubled border or face a Turkish military response to any perceived threat, following the disputed downing of a Turkish warplane…

As said, all this mess will be settled through Diplomatic efforts -- NOT Military Might. That is as long as another shoe doesn’t drop on the situation all of a sudden, spinning everything out of control. In that part of the world… one never really knows.

My Take: Syria - May 31, 2012

My Take: Syria

Thursday, May 31, 2012

.

    This is and has always been some really sad, troubling news out of Syria that really makes one irate over watching these innocent women, children and men being slaughtered in their homes and in the streets.

.

    I’m not sure what it is going to take to make the world wake up and do something besides run their mouths over all this mess… But I’m still holding hope in the belief that the world will finally wake up and step in and SERIOUSLY do something about all these Syrian Massacres/War Crimes.

.

    Yeah… you’re a real hero there, President Obama. NOT!!! You never have and NEVER will be the man President GW Bush was when he was in office either. I say this because President Bush put right ahead of politics and Party. You, President Obama… Not so much.

.

    It seems to me that you’re too dang worried about your reelection this year and the political winds of the day to worry about anything like this.

.

    President Obama, I just got to ask you... How in the world do you sleep at night knowing that 1000’s are being murdered in Syria… and you’re not seriously trying to end it? HOW!!!?

.

    It took the World Powers and bad politics to pull you into the Libyan conflict… so I guess that’s about what it is going to take to get you off your duff and do something this time around too.

.

    God forbid you lose face in the political arena and look weak, again… LIKE YOU REALLY ARE!
