Turkey retaliates against Syrian fire for 3rd day - Washington Post [getdailynow.blogspot.com]

Question by Mark M: Magazines always state "Periodical postage paid in Champlain NY" - why is such a tiny place always mentioned? Many magazines, particularly those published overseas, state "Periodical postage paid in Champlain NY and other postage offices" - why is Champlain always mentioned and not another town? Champlain only has a few thousand residents - why is its post office so special? Is this some kind of legal requirement? Best answer for Magazines always state "Periodical postage paid in Champlain NY" - why is such a tiny place always mentioned?:

Answer by 917lifer
well as a postal employee sometimes there are single companies that make multiple magazines thus being from champlain NY those companies pay the postage through the champlain NY post office in which they have bulk mail clerks that makes sure that the proper postage is paid thus being periodical on other words 2nd class its the cheapest and fastest for bulk mailers and remember all or most of your magazines are most likely coming from the same company or place:)

BEIRUT â€" Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyep Erdogan warned Friday that Turkey and Syria are “not far” from war as Syria and Turkey exchanged mortar fire across their border for a third consecutive day.

The belligerent remarks and the continued shelling sustained fears that the two countries are drifting toward war more than a year after Turkey threw its support behind Syrian opposition demands for the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, reversing a decade of warming relations.

Rebels claimed to have shot down a government helicopter.

Turkish officials said that Turkey’s military fired mortar rounds into Syria on Friday evening after a Syrian shell crashed into farmland in the southern province of Hatay, more than 200 miles from the site of a shelling attack by Syria on Wednesday that killed five people in the Turkish town of Akcakale.

That attack triggered almost immediate Turkish retaliation against Syria in the most serious cross-border incident since the Syrian revolt evolved into an armed rebellion last year. Although it was not the first time shells fired in Syria have strayed into Turkey, Turkish officials said this strike was different because it involved more than six shells fired simultaneously at the same area, and because civilians died. The shell fired into Turkey on Friday caused no casualties, and Syria did not comment on the incident.

In a speech in Istanbul on Friday, Erdogan made it clear that Turkey is prepared to go to war to defend its territory, a day after the Turkish parliament authorized the government to carry out military operations beyond its borders.

“We are not interested in war, but we’re not far from it either,” Erdogan said, adding, “When they say, ‘If you want peace prepare for war,’ it means that when the time comes, war becomes the key to peace.”

The flare-up of tensions along the Turkish border has intensified fears that the Syrian revolt, which has already polarized the region along sectarian lines, could spill beyond its territory. Turkey and the Gulf’s Sunni leaders have lined up behind the rebels, while the Shiite-led governments of Iran, Lebanon and Iraq support Assad.

In another indication of the ways the region is being drawn into the conflict, the Free Syrian Army battalion that claimed in August to have kidnapped 48 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that it would begin executing the hostages unless the government halts attacks on civilian areas within 48 hours.

In a video aired on the Al-Arabiya network, a uniformed rebel claiming to represent the Baraa battalion threatened to kill one Iranian hostage for every Syrian killed after the deadline passes. There was no immediate comment from Iran, which has acknowledged that at least some of the men were retired members of the elite Iranian unit and has also admitted that it has sent military advisers to help the government in Syria.

The Eastern Ghouta suburb of Damascus where the battalion is based has been the target of an intensified government offensive in recent days, but the rebels have fought back. On Friday, they claimed to have shot down a government helicopter, and posted a video on YouTube showing a burning helicopter spiraling through the sky to the ground. On Thursday, the rebels also claimed to have captured a significant air defense base in the area complete with sophisticated air-defense systems and surface-to-air missiles.

Government forces also unleashed an unusually heavy attack on the central city of Homs, where rebel-held neighborhoods have been besieged and regularly shelled by loyalist forces for months. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it was the heaviest bombardment there in months. The Local Coordination Committees, an opposition group, said seven people were killed, among 40 who died nationwide in government attacks.
