Jahled Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 If Turkey decides to invade Northern Iraq, then it would turn the least violent place in that country into something similar to the more southern regions. Further, Turkey will likely be forced to remain in occupation for many years to come and in the mean time help foster more hate against them not just from the more extreme wing of the Kurdish population, but from the entire Kurdish population and what Iraqis they may encounter--no one likes being punished for the actions of a few others. Turkey should learn from the mistake we made in invading Iraq and realize that invading the North will simply create more violence, more problems, more terrorists, and bring them into a quagmire they simply don't need and likely can't support both militarily and financially. The PKK have apparently 'restructured,' as well, following Saddam's allowance for the Turkish airforce to enter Iraq and take out PKK targets. They are much more dispersed, which will make any Turkish incursion much harder to engage it's military objective. On top of this, our best and most dependable allies in Iraq are the Kurds!! I read today, their status in the current Iraqi military is the most dependable and competent, and they have declared defiance against Turkish aggression Well done Congress!

DarthTex Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 ... Is it still being debated in your congress despite the Turkish Parliament's vote, btw?...No, the debate is over and "the condemnation" measure was defeated easily (quite the waste of time, taxpayer money and good international relationship with Turkey, don't you think ). Now, the "cat fight" starts between the (Democrat) Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi) and the (Democrat) Senate Majority Leader ("Dingy" Harry Reid) on who is responsible for letting the vote fail; each blames the other ... typical. Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!! What?? What do you mean "there's only two of us"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History repeats itself, and no one tries to prevent it from doing so.

Eagle Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 That´s just pure tactics, like it was back in 2000 than. They just wanted to show the turkish government "we could condemn you if we wanted to". To blame each other for being responsible that they´ve failed is also tactics to cover who was behind that whole idea. In fact they wanted it to fail and they knew that this would happen. Political games. Who cares at all?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
