A Turkish military official said Turkish troops had conducted a "limited operation" into northern Iraq in recent days in pursuit of Kurdish rebels.

"This cannot be called a cross-border operation, it is a limited operation," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

1. This is not a real burglary, I'm limiting it to stealing your TV and watch.

The military, anywhere, has an "unlimited" capacity for spreading bullshit and calling it Chocolate Frosting.

[Sanity Claws]

2. Turkey has mastered doublespeak.

It's learned a lot from the Bush administration.

8. Leave it to "Good Job George" fuck it up so bad...

that a country once being considered for EU membership is about to start WWIII, hopefully this won't be nukular like everyone always feared it would be.

3. Like the Germans crossing the border on October 1, 1939 to chase

the alleged Polish militiamen?

4. Poland was an urgent, unique and immediate threat, though

sort of like a mosquito between two elephants (Germany & the Soviet Union)

7. Yeah, it was the communists.

Or at least that was Hitler's story and he stuck to it.

10. fear of Communism

has been the RW mantra for decades...

Hitler, Mussolini, McCarthy, Reagan, Bush.

5. The U.S. doesn't occupy Iraq:

the stay of its military is limited -- to a few centuries at most.

LOL!

6. sabra, are you insulting Turkishness?

:rofl:

I think Borat was off, he should have been Turkish.

9. Nah! nah! NAH!! to YOU Dubya! ... the Turks just told you to FUCK OFF!
