#3 Rich Lowry, [an?] editor of National Review, writes in the Corner that he's had a worrying call from David Pryce-Jones, an NR writer, presumably reporting from Iraq or Turkey. Pryce-Jones says the Turks have crossed border, claiming it's a humanitarian mission, but there are fears that they always intended to occupy N. Iraq. Powell is furious.

Lowry stresses that this is just rumor at this point. I bring you only the freshest rumors and scare-mongering today.

#5 I can not be the only one who does not find this at all surprising.

After a year of working late and constantly coming home with lipstick on the collar, Turkey has moved out, closed the bank accounts and today served us the divorce papers. How much long will these US diplomats continue to insist that, depite it all, they still love us? Jeeze - get a clue.

#6 No need to bomb the Turks, just the roads into Iraq. That will slow them down and if they think they were going to take an economic hit, wait till they see that the roads are going to remain closed for month's and their oil stays in Iraq or goes out through Jordan, who know where their bread is buttered and are helping us.

#7 Unless, like Old Spook says, there is some sort of covert cooperative agreement - its as if the Turks are acting suicidal with delusional assumptions to reclaim their Empire. At some point, they have to realize this will be far more painful for them than it could ever be for us and that those oil wells just aren't worth the cost.
