Speaking to reporters in Davos, His Royal Highness Prince Turki Al-Faisal has called on the Nations of Virtue to equip the Syrian "rebels" with the sophisticated weapons that they need to shoot down fighter jets and destroy tanks at a distance.
Obviously mindful of concerns in some quarters that the Syrian "uprising" has been hijacked by extremists, His Excellency also addressed this question. Apparently by giving the heavy-duty hardware to the "good" rebels, it will prevent the jihadis from gaining too much influence!
Hmm... what could possibly go wrong with such a plan?
Quoted in the same article is Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutolgu of the Middle East's rising giant, who signaled that he is totally on board with the Prince's line of reasoning, claiming there are no limits to Turkey's help for the Syrian people.
Now that those Patriot anti-missile missile batteries in Turkey are up and running, he may feel confident in shipping anti-aircraft missiles over the border, but his NATO allies may need some time to get their Patriots set up at Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle before they give this plan the green light.
