I predicted this at the beginning of the war. Fine mess you’ve gotten us into, Georgie:
ANKARA, April 24 (KUNA) — Chief of the Turkish General Staff Hilmi Ozkok said Turkey will conduct military action in northern Iraq if needed.
According to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, Ozkok said since article 51 of the UN Charter allows beyond-the-border military action, Turkey might enter Iraq to eliminate Kurdish separatists.
While explaining that each nation makes decisions independently depending in its needs, he said this issue has no link with the visit of US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice to Ankara on Tuesday.
Ozkok explained that moving the Land Forces Command to the Turkish border has no special connotation, adding that “it was only a matter of needing the command over there.”
Wonder what shrub is gonna do??? Start a war with our largest NATO ally or stand by and watch the Turks wipe out the Kurds??? Turkey will not stand for an independant Kurdistan..No matter the cost..
[...] Huh. And here, the Turks are already threatening to send troops into Iraq - while we’re still there. [...]
