Turkey invades Northern Iraq
 

Yeah now the fun REALLY starts.

No shit. War is everywhere.

No surprises ...

The Kurds ( those great top notch stand up guys, friends of the USA ) are attacking Turks troops ( you know, troops, support them ...) since they claim that part of Turkey should separate ...

So to the Turks, Kurds are Terrorists ( PPK ... I think ) .... but to USA they are a model of freedom and democracy...

To each its cup of tea ...

Disclaimer : This elementary course was not intented for GatorB , he is informed ...
It is for a few GFY'ers that will soon come here and claim they know Kurds in Nashville .....

bang bang bang

Hmmm cnn.com, abcnews.com, cbsnews.com, msnbc.com is reporting this NOTHING on foxnews.com

so now we'll have fried turks :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- Several thousand Turkish troops crossed into northern Iraq early Wednesday to chase Kurdish guerrillas who operate from bases there, Turkish security officials said.

Two senior security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said the raid was limited in scope and that it did not constitute the kind of large incursion that Turkish leaders have been discussing in recent weeks.

"It is not a major offensive and the number of troops is not in the tens of thousands," one of the officials told The Associated Press by telephone. The official is based in southeast Turkey, where the military has been battling separatist Kurdish rebels since they took up arms in 1984.

The officials did not say where the Turkish force was operating in northern Iraq, nor did he say how long they would be there.

The officials said any confrontation with Iraqi Kurdish groups, who have warned against a Turkish incursion, could trigger a larger cross-border operation. The Turkish military has asked the government in Ankara to approve such an incursion, but the government has not given formal approval.

An official at military headquarters in Ankara declined to confirm or deny the report that Turkish troops had entered Iraq.

Thanks. See the Turks are our buddies and the Kurds are our buddies so who do we kill? If we let the Turks invade to kill what they call terrorists( which they have a right to otherwise Bush would be a hypocrite ) then who is next Syria, Jordan? Wouldn't they feel enbolden to do the same?

Turkish Army General Staff Says Cannot Confirm Report Its Troops Have Crossed Into N.iraq

Since when is SEVERAL THOUSAND troops considered a "small incursion"?

Compared to the 50,000 rumor on debka.

A page 2 story so far

Walmart remains open and McDonalds is still serving apple pies so 99% of the USA does not give a damn:(

The Kurds probably do have some legitimate land claims, and perhaps they should get their own country, but the right way to do it is to go through the UN.

Fun Stuff.

Now all we need to do is attack Iran, thereby dragging Russia and China into the conflict.

Which would result in North Korea pushing into the South.

And who knows from there.

Ride 'em, Cowboy!

This really doesnt mean anything. They were just pursuing rebels that attacked them.

i didn't know they even had a military, where are we gonna get our turkey from

wonder who put them up to it ?:winkwink:

kinda like when American soldiers pursued Vietnamese guerrillas who attacked them into Laos and Cambodia.

Whoops! We didn't do that. Shhhhhh.

I blame the Mexican Airforce

They're just trying to liberate the people from a dictator.

PKK sucks

What your not concidering is that the Turks have been killing the Kurds for Years! that's why the fled to Northern Iraq in the first place, The Kurds origan is in Turkey not Iraq, only after they fled to Iraq and then tried to make N. Iraq There home that's when Saddam went on offensive against them backed by the US. Turkey is a fucked up ass kissing Terrorist country that we back for some reason..
People really need to get their facts straight and understand the history in the middle east!

A Chaldean once told me that the kurds are viewed as the "ni**ers" of the middle east.

i bet that be about the time china thought it prudent to take back taiwan..

Yeah that'll be fun for a few months.
