Perhaps it's planned for Syria. It could start in weeks or sooner.

On July 27, a Reuters story perhaps suggests something is planned. Headlined "Exclusive: Secret Turkish nerve center leads aid to Syrian rebels," it says:

Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar "set up a secret base (to) direct vital military communications aid to Syria's rebels from a city near the border, Gulf sources told Reuters."

It's in or near Adana. It's about 60 miles from Syria's border. Incirlik air base is there. US and Turkish forces use it jointly. It's not clear if the nerve center is within or outside Incirlik.

Turkey serves as "mail co-ordinator/facilitator." It's America's main regional attack dog. Prime Minister Erdogan takes orders from Washington. He's a shameless imperial tool. He was earlier against Gaddafi.

Reuters said Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are supplying weapons cross-border. Washington and Israel are very much involved. So are other key NATO partners and regional states.

Reuters also said Washington drafted another resolution. It authorizes "greater covert assistance." It claims it stops short of providing arms. Resolutions aren't needed for that purpose. 

At this stage, circumventing the Security Council is likely. An unnamed EU official expects Assad to hang tough and fight. Why not. Syrian forces way outclass insurgent death squads.
