#1 Well, if you weren't repressing the hell out of the Kurds, shit like this wouldn't happen.
Poo on you.

#2 Does calling this an 'accident' imply the mine was placed by Turkish army? It would seem to be more of an 'on purpose' if it was placed by Kurdish terrorists.

#5 40,000 killed in Kurdish rebellion. In your own country. Admit it, you are in a hopeless quagmire. Withdraw back to Turkestan.

#6 Dear Fuckwad - repressing Al-Q is a necessity for the future of civilisation on the planet. The Turks repressing Kurds - now that's just a domestic squabble.

#8 I think someone confused incident with accident, because if it was an accident, it would mean the Turks are planting mines on their own territory which would be an astonishing admssion, but it wouldn't surprise me. The Turks are panicking big time about Kurdish autonomy/independence. It shocks the hell out of them that the Kurds in Northern Iraq can run a stable prosperous ministate. Blows their racial predujices out the window and gives them the prospect of a state encompassing all Kurds that is bigger and much more successful than Turkey.

Scary times if you are a Turk nationalist.

Funny pic BTW.

#9 Dear Murat,

Your "boys" have lost more men boys to the Kurds/shia/Israeli than all of our war dead in the middle east since Jefferson sent marines to kick your ass off the shores of tripoli. You are all pathetic. We will take you on, anytime, anywhere and send you to hell in a pig skin where you belong.
I'm tired of PC bullshit!!

#15 "Poo on you"?
Will that get him sinktrapped or will the stifled laughter of those present at the extremely lame attempt at a putdown suffice?
Although he's probably in a pretty good mood today. Big Armenian plane crash yesterday...

#16 The rangers in Mogadishu took down 200+ enemy with 18 losses. Pretty damn good. Thanks to Clinton, who is good for only going after defenseless women and is a squirrel, (ed - fluffy tails are cute!) it looked like the US ran. I'll trade you all of our spineless politicians for your democracy loving people. Deal?

#17 More like 1000+ skinnies dead. Somali medical personnel claimed the death toll was as high as 3000. 160 US vs. militia of thousands with heavy weapons.

PS. Don't forget the Malaysian who died in the relief column.

#18 I have no sympathy for the PKK. They should be taken out. That said, the Turks have treated the Kurds badly.

#20 The US Marines are the greatest, most feared and respected fighting force to ever roam the face of the earth. And for good reason.

#21 In the interest of time, I'll only repeat the punchline of an ancient slop chute story;

"Murat returned to the top of the ridge and faced the commander of what was left of his once proud Division, filthy, bleeding, uniform torn to shreds. "It's a trap, General!! he gasped, there are TWO Marines!!!"

HARHARHAR !!! Semper Fi maggot
