NATO back-pedaling furiously over Syria

"We have no intention whatsoever of intervening in Syria" NATO boss Anders Rasmussen announced today from Ankara, where he has been overseeing the negotiations to free 49 NATO intelligence advisers held by the Syrian Army.

Which begs the question; how did those NATO advisers get captured in
Syria, if we're not interfering already?

And from Mexico, where she's helping celebrate the success of the War on Drugs, Hillary Clinton tweeted this morning that the US continues to stand behind the Syrian opposition and support the "protesters".

It's not like the NATO boss to contradict his US masters.

So is Rasmussen back-pedaling or just lying?

The think tank here at Falling Downs believes that this is a bit of strategic fibbing in the course of negotiations.

Once the NATO advisers have been released it'll be back to a full court press for "humanitarian intervention."

And we all know what that looks like.
