> I did not hear anything you would not expect to hear from most of the statesman in the west in a similar situation.

What are you talking about?!?

The head of secret service states: "If need be, I'll send 4 lads to Syria. I'll make them fire 8 rockets back to Turkey in order to produce a valid reason to go to war. We can make them attack the Soliman Shah mausoleum"

Is this NORMAL in your opinion? Does that have anything defendable?

Many times in history people lie or scheme to go to war. For instance the Gulf of Tonkin incident that prompted US entry into Vietnam, or the sinking of the Lusitania before the US entry into WWII where the German government placed ads in newspapers telling people not to get on the ship as it would be sunk.
