Until the conflict goes beyond their border, the Turks don't have to take up arms. They should be prepared for something spilling over but that doesn't mean they should invade Germany and settle things themselves.

A lot of shelling was spilling into Turkey as Syria was trying to kill fleeing refugees.

In which case, their involvement would be warranted but that's only after they've been hit. They didn't do what the U.S. normally seems to do and say, "Yeah, we kinda need resource X and because we're giant asshats, we'll cook up a story about WMDs and go ahead and invade. We'll deal with the bad PR later."

That warrant is almost a year overdue.

Bush 43 is an example of normality?

That was a specific example but it's not the first time the U.S. has exercised faux police powers and pushed other nations around to suit its own interests. Bush 41 did it with Iraq, Ford did it with Pinochet, Obama did it with Palestine and Hamas, Kennedy did it with Castro...

Nevertheless, you agreed that the US should take action if Syria's whacky hijinks should spill out of their borders; they have. Visiting Syria has legitimacy.

No I didn't. When did I say that?

They've been hit. Time to gear up.

...I was referring to Turkey. Unless Turkey is somehow an extension of America?

So was I.

Unless Turkey is somehow an extension of America?

Risking burning someone to death...hilarious

What I find to be amusing is that the people who insisted that the US should invade Iraq and Afghanistan when Bush 43 was in office are now against going to Syria with anti-Obama commentary.

So true, What's more depressing is this meme that seems to be catching on with the twenty something confused libertarian/conservative crowd.

It can't be helped that there are fools out there who still believe Obama is some sort of Heaven-sent saviour.
