Its a dangerous situation with the unknown variable of "who fired the morter".

It could be a accident in most likelihood, however situations like this can have some serious consequences.

The match and the powderkeg metaphor comes to mind.

It is dangerous that we do not know who did this, and this could be the match that lights the powder keg but I hope cooler heads will prevail.

To add to your accident theory...I was watching a segment on Al-Jazeera (total propaganda piece) and it was showing "since the international community is not helping us (the FSA) we meed to make our own weapons".

I found this to be BS because most people know that plenty of weapons have made their way to the FSA with the help of foreign entities, but the FSA claims that these home made weapons, including mortars, are not very accurate...so maybe this was an accident...maybe not though

The fact that the two Turkish piots of the downed jet are alledged to have been brutally executed by Syrian gov Forces, (on Russias orders yet), apearing as well as the other incident, smacks of false flag type ops designed to raise the ire of the western nations and provide "incremental excuses" for intervention in Syria
Like you, i suspect that much of the Syrian revolution is a falsely reported illusion, designed to allow full military involvement in Syria soon.
Ever since the Oklahoma bombs destroyed the Alfred P Murragh building, and the BATF Waco texas massacre of multiple men women and children ,i have had the nasty feeling that these things are primarily "psywar theater".and that we are being influenced this way by those with something to gain from it. whoever they are....(presumably with the power to bring such things off....)
I am assuming that there are other causative factors as well, but the stage is set primarily by this typeof reality theater
perpetrated upon the public.Thus the course of history is influenced in the directions desired.
I realise this strays somewhat off topic in a way, but i have to say that much of the news we pass back and forth to each other....may be exactly what the PTB want done...???get me?
Its a slippery slope.

A few more mortars, some more damaged buildings, and dead Turks could very well lead to involvement by Turkey. Perhaps, this is just an accident as another poster pointed out? I am not going to point a finger at FSA or the Syrian Army right now, because nobody knows why those mortar rounds ended up within Turkish borders?

So I am gonna refrain from the typical false-flag explanation for everything related to the Middle East. That term has become so redundant lately. Still, the Syrians should really think long and hard about getting their act together. If this nonsense continues, they could be welcoming another belligerent to the party? Like an occupation of Northern Syria, by the Turkish Army.

Stop supplying weapons US, Israel, Britain.

This is NOT a God damn civil war.
These are paid invaders from other Arab countries backed by western influence and western intel.

I've seen a dozen or so videos of opposition fighters using mixtures of crap homemade mortars and mortar rounds, other videos or images of fighters showing off homemade gear or videos showing how to make them. I've also seen attempts at rocket-assisted mortars reminiscent of the type used by Special Groups in Iraq.

It's a rather fanciful idea that any group anywhere in the country has access to pristine mortars and ammunition. Most of their heavier kit is stolen Syrian army equipment or cannibalised from equipment stolen from the Syrian army. I remember one video for example showing an exceptionally brave or stupid individual firing an improvised artillery round from a device fashioned out of the barrel of a BMP-1. The guy probably could have thrown the projectile further than it travelled from the launcher with greater accuracy and less risk to his person.

We don't know who did this yet as it could be the FSA or Assad's forces. This reminds me of rockets being fired into Lebanon a few months back.

I do not see what Assad would have to gain by attacking Turkey, but the FSA would certainly gain international support if they were to attack Turkey and have Assad's regime take the blame. This was also my theory in the lebanon incident.

This will certainly rise tensions in an already tense situation.

It makes you think when you notice the timing in all this.

After the turkish jet being hit, and after the subject has cooled down, new rumors appear around their deaths, teasing a response from Turkey. It was even admitted that russians were involved in the decision.

With that pretext, if someone is trying to tease Turkey to blame Assad, throwing a rocket inside their territory seems to be asking for trouble, with a purpose.

Could it be the FSA? Or is it really Assad getting desperate? I honestly believe Assad is at fault.

If I'm right about it being Syrian forces, well.....they are treading a very very very fine line.

Just to post an update in this thread as well, Looks like Turkey has conducted a strike in Syria in retaliation.

Other break news thread has additional details
