Question of the Day: 'How many stages does a Turkish Ultimatum have?'

The Turkish warnings & ultimatums to Syria are sounding more like a six years' old never ending 'count to three' (two and a quarter, two and 2 & a 1/2 thirds ...)
"...“immediately and unconditionally,” warning that unspecified steps would be taken otherwise.
The comments by the minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, who visited the Syrian capital, Damascus, just last week, were the latest addition to a semantic exercise in diplomatic ambiguity, as the United States, European countries, Turkey and Syria’s Arab neighbors have sought to condemn the violence while leaving President Bashar al-Assad the chance to begin reform.
So far, the Syrian government has ignored the condemnations..."
