Thanks to our wonderful Speaker of State Nancy Pelosi, Turkey has entered the ground phase of the war by invading northern Iraq. This AP News Alert is interesting though:BAGHDAD (AP) U.S. military says it understands Turkish incursion 'is an operation of limited duration' specifically targeting Kurdish rebels.So it seems that Turkey is making it clear that their beef is NOT with the United States or its military. Which is good...because if they wanted to cause us more problems, they could. The story filed by the AP is here.
UPDATE: Bill Sloat would have you believe that Jean Schmidt sent Turkish troops in to Iraq to fight PKK terrorists. No mention at all that the United States diplomatic corps had Turkey's military concerns under control until Nancy Pelosi decided to have Congress condemn the Ottoman Empire... Could it be that this story attracted Bill's attention because Jean is a Republican while Pelosi is a Democrat? (Yeah, Bill, I'm calling you out! :)
