"NATO as of Monday has activated two of six Patriot batteries deployed in Turkey as a means of defense against ballistic missiles or other airborne threats launched by neighboring Syria.

The two Patriot batteries supplied by the Netherlands and fielded at the southern city of Adana are now operating under NATO command, an alliance official told Global Security Newswire."

I think this is a means of keeping the upheaval in Syria from spreading. I think it shows that the President is paying attention and doing whatever he can to help contain the situation.
