We ought to tell the Turks, "sod off" - if the Iraqis fear the Kurds, so much the better. Turkey lost its say when it refused to allow American troops to open a second front from the north.

What I trust we're tellin those Turks is invaders of Iraq will be killed with extreme prejudice, as any other attacking enemy in a war.

I agree with you, Ivan... Turkey lost its say.

I believe they are getting this message in the strongest terms from the US, Britain and Australia.

The battle around Kirkuk is going to be classic, and very devastating for Saadumb's forces, whether or not they resort to chem/bio weapons.

I couldn't agree more.

The diplomacy here must be intense. I'd post an American battalion across the approaches at a set distance inside Iraq, giving it a buffer, and let it be known that "no hostile force will be allowed to pass."

Let Turkey decide if it wants to go to war with America.

[Sir_Ed]

Absloutely...bloody pigs lost any rights whatsoever to have a say in how we conduct this war.

These people cost American LIVES!

Let the Kurds go in, and I say give 'em Kurdistan...they'll be a hell of a lot better allies than the Turks, French or Germans!
