The Battle for Jisr al-Shughour = Syria

BBC News: Reports from Syrian TV that the Assad Regime is in a battle with rebles in Jisr al-Shughour. As the article notes the Syrian Army has the upper hand with tanks and helicopters, also it seems that the people of Jisr al-Shughour have done a runner to Turkey, thus one can ask is there a battle going on in Jisr al-Shughour or is it PR from the Syrian Regime, to create the impression that its under attack. As no Western News networks are allowed in Syria one has to trust the Western reporters in Turkey to get the real story from the Refugees. The one danger point should it be by accident or plan that Syria attacks the refugees in Turkey. This is an outside chance, as Turkey is part of NATO, thus any attack on Turkey would be an attack on NATO and thus the US. So what can we expect folks, more refugees YES, more pictures of helicopters shooting at Protesters YES, the West doing NOTHING = YES. Poor people of Syria.
