Turkey attacks Iraq again...

[Viking]

Today 50 Turkish aircraft attacked Kurd villages in Northern Iraq killing people. This is not the first time Turkey attacks Iraq; since you are occupying Iraq and thus responsible for security and safety in Iraq how do Americans feel about this?

Thats why a long term coalition presence is necessary...If they pulled out,Turkey would invade the Kurds,Iran would invade from the east and Saudi Arabia wound invade to help the Sunnis.

And Syria would Nuke Isreal...that is if they kept trying to smuggle WMD from N Korea and assuming the IAF doesn't blow the crap outta every attempt.

And pakistan would expand as a sorta Walmart "WMD's R Us" supplier for whomever wants to get nasty(this was revealed when Libia came on side & opened their books to the UN)

Viking, here is how I feel.

Like you're a jerk.

Just an FYI here. There is more to the situation that your troll alludes. Here is a link to an article covering the attack. This is not an attack on Iraq or even the Kurds in general but against the PPK. That organization has been determined to be a "common enemy" by the US as well.

There is a chance that intel may have been passed to the Turks by the US before the attack.

This "skirmish" between Turkey and the PKK has been going on for 23 years.

Good troll though, I'm sure you get some that bite.

[Viking]

So you people are ok with this? Alrighty then. I bet the Kurds aren't though.

I like cheese curds, fresh and deep fried.  Kurds, on the other hand, I couldn't care less about.

Yes, maybe "us people" are okay with it, maybe it is all part of our plot for world domination, along with our plans to make everyone eat McDonalds cheeseburgers?

Jesus, wouldn't it be more humane to just nuke 'em?

[Viking]

I prefer Burger King myself.

We had to invade Europe a couple of times too but it proved impossible to stop ALL of the idiots from killing each other and doing other really stupid stuff. We do what we can within reason, our reason that is.

[Viking]

Yes it's horrible how the rest of the world are hampering your military efforts to bring reason to the world. I sympathize.



In any event here's the BBC report on the attack:

Sounds like Turkey is gearing up to invade northern Iraq.
