PNA - The Pentagon says it will send Patriot air defense missiles and 400 troops to Turkey as part of a NATO force meant to protect Turkish territory from potential Syrian missile attack.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta signed a deployment order today en route to Turkey from Afghanistan, a rep says. The order calls for 400 US soldiers to operate two batteries of Patriots at undisclosed locations in Turkey. Turkey is a founding member of NATO and requested that the alliance provide Patriots.

They will be sent by NATO members Germany and the Netherlands as well as the US for an undetermined period. During a brief stop at Incirlik Air Base, some 60 miles from the Syrian border, Panetta told US troops that Turkey might need the Patriots, which are capable of shooting down shorter-range ballistic missiles as well as aircraft. He said he approved the deployment "so that we can help Turkey have the kind of missile defense it may very well need to deal with the threats coming out of Syria," he said. Panetta did not mention how soon the two Patriot batteries will head to Turkey or how long they might stay.

As for The Turkmen & Arabs, they have not been already existed at the time.

A member on RBK named Qonyeyi made a great analyst on the Patriot missiles. He said that they're not there to protect Turkey from Syria's chemical attacks, but rather they will be there to supress the Kurds even more. I'll ask him if I have his permission to copy his analyst here. I could invite him on here. He has interesting point of views and I believe he could be a great contributor.

Edit: Saleh Muslim also said they're not there to protect Turkey from Syria. But they're there for the preparation for a war against Iran. You can read the interview here: http://en.firatajans.com/index.php?rupel=article&nuceID=5471

no, it is not a war on kurds lol, it is a war on iran, US is sick worried about iran, not kurds, US now has interest (oil) in kurds in general, as we saw how they intervened in Erbil-baghdad confrontation and giving milky boy a red card.

i think Salih's analysis is more correct :yes:

It's Turkey's dirty war on us.

See it this way:

NATO troops deployed at the border to protect the missiles. If a PKK kills a NATO soldier, then PKK will be identified as the new Taliban. This will allow NATO to have no limits on Kurds.

I'm going to ask Qonyeyi if I am allowed to post his analyst here, then maybe you'll see things from a different perspective. :)
