Bush Says Turkey New Front in 'War on Terror'
<http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/reuters20031121_430.html>

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - President Bush said on Friday Turkey had become a battleground in the "war on terror" as police made their first arrests in deadly truck bomb attacks on British targets in Istanbul

The United States joined Britain in warning its citizens to defer non-essential travel to Turkey over fears of further terror attacks in the country of 70 million following four suicide bombings in the commercial capital in six days.

A statement purporting to come from a unit of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network said it carried out Thursday's twin strikes on the British consulate and the London-based HSBC bank which killed 27 people and wounded more than 400.

4. Who says Smirk isn't clever!!!!!!!!
It dawned on him today after four or five bombings in Turkey that they are being attacked!!!!!!!!!!

He's on top of it. Yeah. Sure is. Mmm hmm. Those Dems didn't notice the attacks, but old Smirky issued a statement announcing that Turkey had been attacked!!

9. Talk about a fecking loose cannon!

Attacks Afghanistan, gets bored with that, bombs Iraq months before
declaring war, destroys Iraq and kills thousands of people (theirs and
ours), then can't stop his head from spinning like the Exorcist
at Syria, then Iran, then back to Syria, ---now it's Turkey!

Will somebody please get this guy a straight jacket? Seriously, it's
WAY out of control.

14. fronts popping up all over
the more fronts we fight, the more fronts there are...

i wouldn't, however, use hercules and the hydra as a metaphor. the fucks would probably *like* the idea of cauterizing the nations they cut down.
