EXCERPTS from: Saudi Arabia, Turkey Discussing Unlikely Alliance To Oust Syria’s Assad
by Ryan Grim, Sophia Jones and Jessica Schulberg, Huffington Post, 12 April 2015

Turkey and Saudi Arabia, two nations with a long history of rivalry, are in high-level talks with the goal of forming a military alliance to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The talks are being brokered by Qatar. As the partnership is currently envisioned, Turkey would provide ground troops, supported by Saudi Arabian airstrikes, to assist moderate Syrian opposition fighters against Assad’s regime, according to one of the sources.
“… … …”
Obama: ““We both are deeply concerned about the situation in Syria,” Obama said. “We’ll continue to support the moderate opposition there and continue to believe that it will not be possible to fully stabilize that country until Mr. Assad, who has lost legitimacy in the country, is transitioned out.””
“… … …”
There have been previous indications that Turkey and Saudi Arabia were discussing a cooperative effort in Syria. On March 2, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud Salman, met in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, where they announced an agreement to jointly boost aid to the Syrian opposition and broaden overall cooperation on defense and security matters
“… … …”
Weeks after he met with the Saudi king, the Turkish leader signed a defense deal with Qatar to facilitate intelligence sharing, military cooperation and possible deployment of Turkish and Qatari troops in one another’s countries. This agreement builds upon a joint training deal the two countries signed in 2012, and positions Qatar well to mediate the discussions between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
“… … …”
“Iran has been engaged in Syria with one hand tied behind its back as a result of the sanctions,” he said. “Without that constraint, the perception among the Sunni states — Turkey and Saudi Arabia — would be that they need to contribute significantly more to match what they fear will be an increased Iranian commitment.”
“… … …”
Riyadh and Ankara have shared the goal of arming Assad’s opposition since the early days of the Syrian civil war.
“… … …”
Saudi Arabia recently demonstrated its willingness to intervene militarily in the region by leading a coalition of Arab nations in launching airstrikes against the Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen. While the U.S. did not participate directly, American officials said the U.S. provided logistical and intelligence support to the mission.
“… … …”
“If the only way to get the U.S. to go along with us is to show our teeth, we will show our teeth,” said one Gulf source. “And Sunni teeth are wild.”

my head is spinning—every day, there is a kaleidoscopic update. let me get this straight, Turk/Saudi military alliance for invasion of Syria, to try to change its regime. Today’s news says US is entering an alliance with Kurds, not exactly sure which factions, YPP peshmerga? to take over Arab Raqqah, in a rush to get there before Syrian Arab Army can liberate it. As Syrian government gets closer and closer to steering the titanic away from the iceberg, war criminal enemies of Syria getting desperate, those of us who retain humanity and perspective on what’s at stake, worried about people who live in Raqqah and wish for things to go well for SAA and the people of Raqqah who have suffered so long.
