Pawn takes center field.

Must be coming quicker than I thought.

I thought the Turks usually had more troops inside Iraq's 1990 borders, watching the Kurds.

This may be very interesting. Are Turkish troups generally in this part of Iraq with its permission and knowledge?

Good for them. If Saddam is going to fall, Turkey might as well take back some of what used to be theirs.

I hope Turkey gets to OWN Iraq, as much as it wants. Let Arabia and Iran tremble in fear at the very name. I tire of my nation having to deal with extremists.

Where is it written that we couldn't have arranged the Turks to go on ahead of us: Turkish land operations in the north, American air operations all over, American land operations in the south to come later.

Was there ever a doubt that Turkey would be "with us"?

I don't think so...

Thanks for posting and translating that.
I'm really starting to like Turkey!

We'll be in to help as soon as congress finishes debating it.

I, for one, would be happy to see the Turks live-up to their ancient and well-earned reputations!

Hmm, Maybe a year from now there will be no Iraq. Just an expanded Turkey, Jordan, Kuwait…

Who, us? We only "assisted"!

I totally support restoration of Turkish rule in Mosul-a province of Turkey for 800 years.

Is Turkey working with Chalabi as well?

I'm wondering about the Kurds. I know they're muslims, but are they extremists like the Arabs?

I'm curious of why the Turks keep cracking down on the Kurds.

P.S. Just asking, I know that Turkey is a great ally of USA. :-)

I am curious as to the Kurds status when the end-game is played out. While I am certain they will support the downfall of Saddam, would they willingly submit to Turkish rule? I assume the Kurds are Islamists, since that is prevalent in the Middle East, but are they extremists?

Kurdish questions aside, I am delighted at the prospect of Turkey moving against Suddam. My impression of Turkey is that they have a democratic government, yet a government that would have little tolerance for tribal warfares within its community (the type of tribal warfare that continues to threaten the new government in Afghanistan).

Great news!

Way to go Turks!

Guess we don't need that base in Saudi Land after all. Nothing better to fly our wings of death to the Iraqi thugs, than a secure air base in Northern Iraq.

I see no reference to this situation in the Turkish Press. Can it be verified?
