Last I heard is that the Turks wanted to trade airspace permission for permission to move into N. Iraq, and the US said no deal and diverted aircraft around Turkey.  Officials in Washington have also warned Turkey that they may face "friendly fire" from US forces if they cross the line.  So don't get your panties all bunched up just yet Dowding.  :)

The Kurds don't have tanks, helicoptors or aircraft. The Kurdish fighter's families are also in the firing line.

I'd say Turkey would have no problem at all.

By all accounts, alarm bells are ringing in the Pentagon over this. It will be interesting to say the least.

I trust Dubya to understand "enemy of my enemy" stuff. But "enemy of the enemy of my enemy" and further could prove to be too much for him to grasp.

BBC talks now about a 1500-strong commando force.

Well, Nostradumus...I mean Dowding called it.

1000 Turks crossed into Northern Iraq...according to Fox.

This is some bad stuff here, boys.

Excuse me, but who the hell invited the Turks? Last time I checked, they were against this war to begin with. Now what? They see it's going well, and they want a piece of the action?

They have no right to move into Northern Iraq. If they don't withdraw, we need to deal with them.

These sandy little butt holes are going to cause more problems than they are worth.

This is why they did not want to let us launch a Norther Front attack from Turkey. So they could do it themselves, and snatch up Iraqi Real Estate.

With Friends like this....we would not need France.
