This is one way for the US military to get inside this conflict, by sending aid. From there military advisers bringing aid can assess the situation and start the war planning.

So what does ATS think, is this the guise the US will use to help the "rebels" in Syria - we come in peace with aid? Or is it legitimate, the US wants to send food and blankets?

I wonder how this "humanitarian aid" will help Syria? I guess they will help out as good as they are helping in Libya...you know with the torturing and genocide...yes please rush to Syria...#thanx Nato #thanx west

Humanitarian Aid?? Is there some famine or other disaster of epic proportion that I just entirely missed?? Oh.... This is for the civil unrest huh? Ya know..If we stopped funding and pushing the rebels to make war among civilians in Homs and other cities, they might not be short of things when it comes time to stock the kitchen and make dinner.

On with the war drums...and nothing will satisfy be big green killing machine until Syria and Iran are both safely taken from their current leaderships and delivered to the UN and IMF with a pretty red bow wrapped around them. 10's of thousands may die?

Oh gee... can't make an omelet without breaking eggs...and all that. ( /end sarcasm)

If the Western powers stopped pushing Syrian internal matters into open warfare in the streets, we wouldn't have this problem. SO rather than literally feed the problem, how about we STOP causing it?

A bit late to the party, it's a shame Syria doesn't have oil, the SAS and CIA would have been on the ground months ago forming the rebels into an army and getting them ready to take Assad out for a nice lynching

One thing is for sure, they need to hire better actors and directors for the next invasion show. The actors need to really act like they are happy Americans have come to liberate them. They need more props, like roses thrown in the path of the tanks. They need more than 10 people dancing around joyously. Hollywood needs to help out the spin doctors here. American credibility is at risk now. The fake jubilation at the arrival of US troops needs to be believable.
