What's more worrisome is the political reaction to all of this. Syria is no threat to Turkey militarily. They might be able to cross the border but the Turks could smash them and overrun Syria if they so chose. The Syrians certainly know this.

As for attacking protesters, I think this administration complains too much. I really think that the State Department had a lot to do with setting off this string of protests because of secret meetings held in DC and other aid that was given. They've sown the wind and the whirlwind is coming.

Clinton told reporters at the State Department on Thursday that the U.S. saw the situation as volatile and "very worrisome" and that the Syria military should immediately end attacks and provocations in the region. She said the buildup of soldiers just 500 yards from the Turkish border was another sign of the Syrian government's intent to repress its own people.
