Turkish parliment gives go ahead to strike N.Iraq

Turkey has voted itself the right to launch cross-border military attacks on Kurdish separatist fighters holed up in Northern Iraq, but it has not yet decided to exercise that right. The Turkish Parliament on Wednesday authorized military operations into neighboring Iraq to hunt down guerrillas of the outlawed Kurdistan Worker's Party, or PKK, which continues to launch attacks inside Turkey that have killed more than 30 Turks in recent weeks.

Although the article downplays the consequences of such an attack, this article does show the stupidity of the current administration. Today, there has been a lot of talk concerning invading Iran, even from our President, who dropped the W bomb (WWIII) If they really want to invade Iran, how exactly do they plan to get in there? Using the Turkish border would be a good option to get into Iran, but Bush and the Congress have begun to isolate Turkey. The article says that the U.S. will not send their own troops to root out the PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party). This, plus the bill in congress which would label Armenian killings during WWI as genocide, will surely take thast option off the table. I don't support a war with Iran, but if we ever did have to go to war for necessary reasons, I would not trust our current leaders in Congress or the White House ( Iraq doesn't count, that is a quagmire)

iran borders iraq we wouldnt have to go through turkey. supplies come through turkey but that amrenian genocide bill is putting that in a bad state right now. and this could all be solved if the government treated PKK terrorists like it treated al qeada terrorists.
