in defiance of chimpy and dicky??? how dare they

STANBUL, Oct. 9 — Turkey took a step toward cross-border military action in Iraq today, as a council of the country’s top political and military leaders issued a statement today allowing troops to cross to eliminate separatist Kurdish rebel camps in the mountainous northern region.

Turkey’s move toward military action comes in the face of strong opposition by the United States, which is anxious to maintain peace in that area, one of the rare regions of stability in conflict-torn Iraq.

All government offices and institutions have been ordered “to take all economic and political measures, including cross-border operations when necessary, in order to end the existence of the terror organization in a neighboring country,” said the statement, which was released by the Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s office.

1. dick and his monkey wouldn't know "peace"

if it slapped them upside their heads.

2. Actually, this is the one place in Iraq that might require

a continued US presence (though I would prefer a UN or some other multi-national force). If we leave, Turkey will find a reason to invade to prevent an independent Kurdish nation on its border.

3. Who sez we're the only ones allowed to invade Iraq?

4. If Mexico or Canada had groups coming into the U.S. with terrorist attacks, what would we do?

Even apart from that, how can we tell any country what to do, when WE invaded a country who didn't attack us. The PKK is crossing the border attacking inside Turkey

5. for some strange reason does anyone think that Bushco

welcomes this news, cause they(bushco) want a regional outbreak of chaos anyway.
