It is the safe haven I assume that Syrian has come to the same understanding the US did in relation Iraq and Iran during the Iraq insurgency expand the war. Get rid of the safe haven and the insurgency loses intensity. Short term pain long term gain. The US launched cross border attacks into Syria during the Iraq war they would have been forced to do it with Iran to get out of Iraq. It is the safe haven, cross border.

What happened is that that Turk Jet Fighter was shot down in Syrian Air Space, Syria had every rights to shoot it down, they violated Syrian Air Space deliberately and it constitutes an act of war against Syria, is NATO really thinking we're a bunch of idiots or something ?? Who do they think they are ?? If such incident would've happened over Israeli Air Space, the entire Middle-East would be in utter chaos and all at war by now...

Several points are already plainly clear. First, Turkey has declared war of aggression on Syria. This is fact on record. This came straight from the mouth of the Turkey’s Prime Minister. This is a basic fact. So now Syria and Turkey are in state of war. Second, is NATO also an state of war with Syria? This point we do not know. Third, and most critically, what is the position of the UNSC when one country declares a war of aggression against another country? Is this not the function of the UNSC? We are sick and tire of spins. we need simple and factual based legal analysis of drama unfolding in Syria.

Shame on you disgusting erdogan and akp !  To push to war with syria,with your lies. i am a shame to say i am turkish. cowards !

Turket you are at fault and can carry on twisting and turning your story with your NATO Gang> If Syria comes under attack from Turkey and NATO - people of the world we need to start bycotting anything that's Turkey - European - UK-US.
Bullies are always in the wrong side of history

Poor pilots died for absolutly nothing, because their corrupt puppet policians wanted to wage war and kill some thousands of people so the terrorist entity called Israel could last few more years.

Would you Arabs please stop using western names as if you are from the west!
It is so... apparent!
I'm not Israel's favourite supporter but using the word 'Zionist' every 5 seconds gives the game away children!
Terms like 'the UK/US only fight weak countries' are pathetic beyond belief, 12, maybe 13 years old I would guess.
Africaboy, a government is set up to represent the 'majority' of the country!
Everyone knows(except you) that Assad heads a 'minority' led government!
If a dictator says 'his' government do you think he means the 'people's' government?  I'll ask my 4 year old to give you a lesson in comprehensibility. Any idea what that means?

This was clearly a deliberate provocation by Turkey who have been helping the terrorists. Given the tension between the two countries, Turkey would never otherwise have flown it's aircraft in such a way that they might have accidentally entered Syria. 
The wreckage of the 'plane was found in Syrian waters. Therefore I cannot believe there might be any rational dispute about this plane being shot down in Syrian air space.

Hey guys lets call these so called "defectors" by their proper name. They have been paid to betray their country. So they are traitors and fraudsters because they accepted bribes. Was Judas a "defector" or a traitor? Think for once the corruiption and immoral degenerative nature of our so called western society which bribes people to make them turn against their fellow countrymen and sell their country to foreigners and then calling these traitors and morally corrupt individuals as "revolutionaries" or worse still "freedom fighters!" So for correctness sake, let us call a spade a spade, and traitors and morally dejected and corrupt individuals as such.

...marty jg, we know everything about "stealth fighters/bombers/dro nes. But the best part is that Iran also knows everything about "stealth drones/bombers/other stuff" and have already shared that knowledge with Syria. Forget it guys, Syria is a "no fly zone" for nato... You 'think' you do!  Russia is still trying to copy America's technology never mind Iran/Syria or anyone else. I take it you are Iranian?  How's the nuclear technology coming on?  Managed to get any more help from a western(style) government yet?  You're only 65 years behind us in technology, not bad for a  backward country living by the ideals of the Stone Age!  We are from different worlds, no matter if you get your best education from the West, you still have to travel back to your homeland that exists in the Stone Age!

What NATO did instructing the Turks was to test not “a domestic radar system” but the Syrian one, the patience of Syria and the patience of the world. How could could’ve the jet been shot in international airspace when the wreckage lies in Syrian territorial waters, did the Syrians chase it from Turkey into Syria or the opposite? The Turks appear to be the same pathetic liars as the Jews. But as we all know the motto of the NATO musketeers “attack on one is attack on all” they all now have to play the circus of the clowns regardless the truth. While the Spaniards stated "Syria acted in its right for self-defence," so now this creates another rift within NATO.

GoUSgo (to hell) Quote: Paranoid muzzys! Let me guess............... Its the Zionists fault. Fact: Zionists control America (Check Ariel Sharon's famous quote: "Don't worry what America will say. We control America and America will say what we want her to say." America controls NATO. NATO controls Turkey. So Yep! Exactly. Zionists are behind this all the way!

NO it is NOT NATO in disguise...it is OBVIOUSLY NATO!!!......... Ju st a TWIST on the Western "False Flag" tactic to convert the last  remaining "rebels" ,Syria and Iran to the Western Banking system and to BOW DOWN to the Israeli ZIONSITS. The GOOD NEWS is that people are waking up to Western Hegemony
