Getting set for Syria, news from space, and other updates

Actions against Syria are likely to begin very soon. Turkey will likely have an important role. Headlines such as these confirm it;
- Turkey urges Assad to step down.
- U.N. & Turkey increase pressure on Syria's Assad.
Turkey's aggressive military posture toward the Kurds in Iraq shows their increasing boldness.
 But now, this most recent article;
- Report: U.S. & Arab states set to impose 'No Fly Zone' over Syria.
Sounds like Libya, huh? Remember, these nations need not get official U.N. approval before taking action. The 2003 invasion of Iraq was a venture without the U.N.'s backing.

Rounding out the hostilities' articles;
- Ambush kills 14 Pakistani soldiers.
- Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S. resigns.

In Africa;
- Kenyan airstrikes kill 39 in Somalia.
- Ethiopia invades Somalia.
- 3 killed in fresh Egyptian clashes.

In WWIII related odds-n-ends;
- U.N. urges Israel to free Palestinian funds, stop illegal construction.
- A War Crimes tribunal in Malaysia has found former leaders Bush & Blair guilty of war crimes (Iraq).
- Iran lawmakers cry 'Death to Britain' in parliament.
- Yemen's leader is reported to accept yielding his powers.
- U.S. shifting military closer to China.

The "space" news, and related quakes;
- There was a 6.6 quake yesterday (11/22) in Bolivia; one of 5 quakes of 5+ magnitude for the day.
- Watch the short video on Planetary Alignment & quake watch for 12/2-3.
- Watch another short video on a neo asteroid set for a near-Earth pass on Thanksgiving Day. This was discovered only this past Friday, 11/18.

This next asteroid looks harmless, but the "suddenness" of its appearance is disconcerting. NASA has admitted that it is possible for an Earth-threatening object to come within just a few weeks' range, before they would notice. There is also a standing gov't order not to inform the general public over any "inevitable" natural disaster which may present itself. We need to stay ALERT.
