What’s up with this 100 year-old stuff?

It was merely a ploy to anger Turkey. Get Turkey riled and they'd cut off support for the WOT and our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe even force us to close Incirlik. Then blame Bush for the debacle. Turkey is the shipping and waystation point for lots of supplies and ammo. This was just another way of killing the war in Iraq without any Dems fingerprints on it, but it didn't fly.................

Yup. Rush was all over this early in the week. Fortunately for us, our friends the Turks saw right through this BS resolution.

Besides the supply route issue, just the promotion of this, without the passage, has been enough to give the anti-Kurd forces within Turkey enough ammunition to mass troops at the Iraqi border and start formal measures in the Turkish Parliment to authorize border crossing to hit Iraqi Kurds they feel are fostering and supporting Kurdish insurgents and guerrillas in Turkey.

When this starts, and I believe it will, it causes possible conflict for the Nato partners and I want to be sure that it is referred to with its proper name:
