Turkish media deceives public over strength of locally developed arms

[Saithan]

A single SOM to take out a SAM installation or two along our border with Syria would have been a proper answer.

1. You'd reply by means of arms
2. You'd send a message to Syria, "you won't get a warning from now on"
3. No need to waste time with words

On the other hand it doesn't cost anything to talk compared to firing of cruise missiles etc.

we cant have a prime minister who is talking with a women ( leyla zana) who said we have to see turks bloods flow like a river.

@Leggionaire, I totally understand the anger many Turks feel towards Syria for shooting down the Turkish Plane.

Heck I was livid with anger when I heard the news and I am not even Turkish citizen.

But you have to understand the Turkish Government Position because they are looking at the big picture.

I am sure PM Erdogan is fuming with anger but he has the responsibility to balance a lot of things such as the country's Economy, Unemployment, GDP growth rate, foreign policy and relationship with NATO, etc.

You just have to trust your Goverment that they will handle this situation in a calm and cool manner with strong resolve.
