Turkish military marches into unknown
2007-07-14
Early elections in Turkey on the 22nd, precipitated by the generals, who're concerned about the influence of the Islamicists. Gonna be a tense time in Kurdistan during the jockeying this week.
Unknown? Unknown? Rubbish, the Turkish military has been there several times. They know perfectly well how to organize and execute a coup.

#3  They had their chance to go into Kurdistan 4 years ago. They didn't take it. Sorry, the offer has expired.

#2  They're part of this, AT1904. The way I read it, the generals are pissed at the US because they are being held back (barely) from going into Kurdistan, and equally pissed at the Islamicists in the government.

#1  I thought they were going to tell us about those 140,000 soldiers massed on the border.
