"But Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul urged the United States not to show bias towards Iraqi Kurds and warned
Ankara would not refrain from taking military action if it perceived a security threat emanating from Iraq."

I didn't know they were drunk.

Glad they're sober now after 300+ dead.

Maybe they'll begin kicking ass.

Just in case anyone is listening ... Why don't we go to the Sunni triangle in force? EMPTY every town into camps - take IDs, take the bad guys, offer rewards, search the town stem to stern.

Stay safe.

John - we're not personally aquainted but you once did a mega-ping for me. If I might impose once more ... its important. Thanks. Charlie.
