Romney picks up steam after
strong first debate showing
Turks hold banners that read "no to war, no to fascism" during a protest in Istanbul Turkey, on Thursday. v
Turkey expands m m1 1 ar
operati ons wiin Syria
Shelling of Turkish
territory prompted
strong retaliation
AKCAKALE, Turkey (AP)
Turkey sanctioned further
military action against Syria
on Thursday and bombarded
targets across the border with
artillery for a second day, rais-
ing the stakes in a conflict that
increasingly is bleeding outside
Syrian territory.
Although both sides moved to
calm tensions, Turkey's parlia-
ment overwhelmingly approved a
bill allowing the military to con-
duct cross-border operations into
Syria-makingelearthat Ankara
has military options that do not
involve its Western or Arab allies.
It was the most dramatic
escalation in tensions between
the countries, which were close
allies before the revolt against
Syrian President Bashar Assad
began in March 2011. Over the
past 18 months, however, Tur-
key has become one of the stron-
gest critics of the Syrian regime,
accusing it of savagery and mas-
sacres against the opposition.
The rebels who are trying to
bring down Assad have used
Turkey as their base, enraging
a regime that accuses foreign
countries of fomenting the
unrest inside Syria.
The spark for the latest hostil-
ity was a mortar shell fired from
Syria that slammed into a house
in the Turkish border village of
Akcakale on Wednesday, killing
two women and three children.
"(The shell) hit my neighbor
next door. His wife, his children
died," villager Bakir Kutlugil
told The Associated Press. "Now
I worry whether the next one
will hit me or my neighbor."
MehmetYasin, anothervillag-
er, said he feared Turkey will get
drawn into more violence. "They
are warring over there anyway.
Why should we battle against
anyone?" he asked.
The Turkish response to the
Syrian shelling was swift - it
fired salvos of artillery rounds
inside Syria, contacted its NATO
allies and convened Parliament
for a vote authorizing further
cross-border military operations
if necessary.
The bill opens the way for uni-
lateral action by Turkey's armed
forces inside Syria. Turkey has
used a similar provision to repeat-
edly attack suspected Kurdish
rebel positions in northern Iraq..
Syria's U.N. envoy said Thurs-
day that his government was
investigating the source of the
cross-border shelling and did not
want any escalation of violence
with Turkey.
Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari
said the Assad regime sent
its "deepest condolences" to
the families of the victims,
but stopped short of an apol-
ogy, pending the outcome of the
investigation. He alsourged Tur-
key to act "wisely, rationally" and
prevent infiltration of "terrorists
and insurgents" and the smug-
gling of arms across the border.
Turkish officials, however,
characterized the statement as
an apology.
Ja'afari said that the return
shelling from Turkey early
Thursday injured two Syrian
army officials.
Syrian opposition figures in
Akcakale, which has a clear sight
line into Syria, said the targets
of Turkey's retaliatory attacks
included at least one tank and
one anti-aircraft gun in the town
of Tal Abyad in Raqqa province,
where the Syrian regime and
rebels are battling for control.
Democrats prepare
for political fallout
from apparent loss
DENVER (AP) - Buoyed by a
powerful debate showing, Mitt
Romney said Thursday he offers
"prosperity that comes through
freedom" to a country struggling
to shed a weak economy. Presi-
dent Barack Obama accused the
former Massachusetts governor
of running from his own rescord
in pursuit of political power.
Both men unleashed new
attack ads in the battleground
states in a race with little more
than a month to run, Obama
suggesting Romney couldn't
be trusted with the presidency,
and the Republican accusing the
president of backing a large tax
increase on the middle class.
The debate reached 67.2 mil-
lion viewers, an increase of 28
percent over the first debate in
the'2008 presidential campaign.
The measurement and infor-
mation company Nielsen said
Thursday that 11 networks pro-
vided live coverage of the debate.
Not even Democrats disputed
that Romney was likely to ben-
efit politically from the debate
Wednesday night in which he
aggressively challenged Obama's
stewardship of the economy and
said his own plans would help
pull the country out of a slow-
growth rut. Still, there was no
immediate indication that the
race would expand beyond the
nine battleground states where
the rivals and their running
mates spend nearly all of their
campaign time and advertising
dollars.
Debate host Colorado is one
of them, and Virginia, where
Romney headed for an evening
speech, is another. So, too, Wis-
consin, Obama's destination for
a mid-day rally. Nevada, Ohio,
Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida
and North Carolina are the oth-
ers.
Among them, the nine states
account for 110 electoral votes
out of the 270 needed to win the
White House, more than enough
to tip the campaign to one man or
the other.
"Victory is in sight," Romney
exulted in an emailed request
for donations to supporters. It
was a show of confidence by a
man hoping for a quick rever-
sal in pre-debate public opinion
polls that showed him trailing
in battleground states as well as
nationally.
Reprising a line from the
debatehetold anaudienceofcon-
servatives in Denver that Obama
offers "trickle-down govern-
ment." He added, "I don't think
that's what America believes in.
I see instead a prosperity that
comes through freedom."
Another possible pivot point in
the campaign neared in the form
of Friday's government report on
unemployment for September.
Joblessness was measured at 8.1.
percent the previous month..
Obama campaigned with the
energy of a man determined
to make up for a subpar debate
showing. Speakingto a crowd not
far from the debate hall, he said
mockingly that a "very spirited
fellow" who stood next to him
onstage Wednesday night "does
not want to be held accountable
for the real Mitt Romney's posi-
tions" on taxes, education and
other issues. "Governor Romney
may dance around his positions,
but if you want to be president
you owe the American people the
truth," he said.
Later, before a crowd of tens
of thousands in Madison, Wis.,
he said Romney wants to cut fed-
eral funding for Public Television
while repealing legislation that
regulates the banking industry
"I just wantto make sure I've got
this straight: He'll get rid of regu-
lations on Wall Street, but he's
going to crack down on Sesame
Street," Obama said.
Taxes were a'particular point
of contention between the two
men, although they were sharply
divided as well on steps the cut
the deficit, on government regu-
lation, on education and Medi-
care.
