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. 0 f--- - lu- ---- iR i I p
