Another indication of why this is so serious. I sense that, at the very least, it is a watershed event. There are now a whole bunch of cards way up in the air and slowly heading back to earth. I doubt the axis of deeply strained US/UK/NATO unity of purpose can survive their landing - and I also doubt the US has much left by way of influence over how they land.

Quote:The war projected between Israel and the Iran-led bloc of Syria, Hizballah and Hamas is suddenly overshadowed by Turkish-Israeli hostilities over a deadly Israeli commando raid on an aid flotilla from Istanbul. Against the US president Barack Obama's bid to bridge the rift, Turkish generals are drawing up plans to break Israel's Gaza blockade and avenge 9 deaths, while Israel is bound by its war on terror to thwart them - bringing both to the brink of overt hostilities.Overt hostilities means the unambiguous invocation of NATO article 5. Which must surely be an absolute priority for the US to try to prevent - or is it?
