| Turkey approves Iraq incursion plan |
| 2007-10-18 |
| TurkeyÂ’s parliament resoundingly approved a motion on Wednesday allowing troops to cross into northern Iraq to crush Kurdish rebels hiding there, brushing aside appeals from the United States and the Baghdad government. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has played down expectations of any imminent attack, but the parliamentary vote gives NATOÂ’s second biggest army the legal basis to cross the mountainous border as and when it sees fit. AnkaraÂ’s stance has helped propel global oil prices to new record highs above $88 a barrel, though they eased on Wednesday. |

| #1 Stormbringer The greenwood sighs and shudders, the westwind wails and mutters Grey clouds crawl across the sky, the moon hides her face as the sunlight dies And mankind soon shall realize the bringer of storms walks tonight CHORUS: No mortal dare to meet the glare of the Eye of the Stormbringer, For he is the lightning slinger the glory singer, the gallows reaper Upon his shoulder, ravens, his face like stone, engraven Astride a six-hoofed stygian beast, he gathers the fruit of the gallows trees Driving legions to victory the bringer of war walks tonight |
