#1 Turkey has apparently moved a few hundred thousand men in its eastern provinces, and could be poised to make a cross-border move into the Kurdish areas of Iraq.

#2 The turkeys do have every right to defend themselves, including hot pursuits. But launching a major offensive is another matter.

#3 Sure. After all, Israel (and maybe the US) is the only country that doesn't have the right to defend itself.

#4 Since we 'found' Turkish SF types in Kurdish Iraq some time ago, and then they followed it up with massive acceptance of that idiot Valley of Wolves movie and Metal Storm book (after we pushed for Turkish membership in the EU and all) I've decided the Turk is not our friend.

The Turk is a Jerk.

If the Iraqi War fails and we go to Plan B=Kurdistan I'm ready to hack out a chunk of Turkey to give the Kurds and call it 4th ID Province.
