Weapons money and logistical support to the rebels. Further diplomatic cut offs and further much harsher sanctions. That's actually quite a lot Turkey can do without going to war

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement: "We will work with Turkey and other partners to hold the Assad regime accountable.
"It is yet another reflection of the Syrian authorities' callous disregard for international norms, human life, and peace and security."

Like the time US had complete regard for human life when it shot down a CIVLIAN IRAN AIRLINER, killing all 290 on board, 66 of them children?

The hypocrisy of the US is unbelievable and the people who support this are even more idiots than US offcials are.

12,000+ dead for more than a year is slightly different to one mistake which killed 290 in a matter of seconds, no?

So you're comparing the uprising against a plane shot down?

Why dont you compare a plane shot down (Turkish Fighter Jet) to another plane shot down(Iran Air)? The former were legitmate targets since they were military men, the latter werent.

I hate you scum who justify military intervention and the death of civilians (Iran Air in this case).

The latter was not targeted because it was a civilian air liner. It was believed it was a military target.

It still doesnt get away from the fact civilians died. Syria's decision is justified.

How? Would you support the UK shooting down the odd 5 or 6 if not more Russian bombers that entered our airspace and probed our response times in the past couple of years even though it could easily end in war?

Justifying civilian deaths eh aj?
It still doesnt get away from the fact civilians died. Syria's decision is justified to take down a military target.

You seem fairly pro-Assad, sugar plum, and you're talking about justifying the deaths of civilians?

Go on... justify the deaths of 12,000+ innocent Syrian civilians.

Haha the irony of your username and evading my question. Go on then, justify the death of 290 Iranian then? Since I asked you first.

Call me pro-Assad if you helps you sleep at night too.

The aircraft was believed to be a military jet.

Justify the shooting of crowds of innocent civilians, more than 12,000 of them since March of last year. Justify the indiscriminate shelling of densely populated cities. Justify Assad's armed gangs, the shabiha, which have raped, beaten and brutally murdered innocent civilians.

I couldn't care less whether you are pro-Assad or not, but to support him would imply that you've either lost or have never had any sense of morality.

Not even a retard can mistake a civilian airliner ascending over Iranian waters for a descending F14 Tomcat. Let alone the most advanced Navy in the world.

(A navy which incidentally during the 1980s had a long history of attacking Iranian ships, oil platforms and so on in its role as Saddam Hussein's best mate. Oh and giving medals to the crew was an especially nice touch btw).

"believed" key word right there mate. It wasnt, duh.

I can tell you only take in what the news tells you. The 12K figure includes government forces and pro-government civilians killed by the Salafists terrorists. Forgot that one huh? Its all in the UN reports.

Houla and Qubair was done by the FSA, some say, if you travel to those villages. There is no proof, other than a mans word vs another mans word, that it was indeed the government.

Other than that, there is no justification for such atrocities committed by either side or a military intervention.

I couldn't careless if you're pro-US but to support them indiscriminately using white phosphorus in Fallujah imply that you've either lost or have never had any sense of morality.

That was what the problem was. The technology was advanced. The crew were green, had no idea what they were doing and freaked out when they thought they were under attack. It was a bizarre set of circumstances and the American response of medals and no admittance to what they did was wrong on so many levels.

However it was an accident/mistake based on a whole load of factors.

Seemingly enough, you don't quite understand the fact that mistakes happen in wars. Innocent civilians died during the Iran-Iraq War - that's part and parcel of war.

Oh dear, we're becoming desperate now, aren't we? .....

I don't support the U.S. military.

Give these a watch, tinkerbell, I'm sure you're their biggest fan.

Desperate? Its all in the UN reports mate, you know, the ones you havent closely looked at?

You supported the Iraq war. If thats not supporting US military, then what is, Id like to know.

Mhmhmhm yeah, dead people! Very appetising!

Whether the figure is 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, or 12,000 is irrelevant; what is relevant, however, is the fact that so many civilians have been butchered. And you support that, don't you?

I supported, and still to this day support, the liberation, and any liberation for that matter, of an oppressed people. Whether the United States military, the Russian military, the Italian military or the Congolese military led the charge I would have still supported it.

They're your boys.
