The Kurds Pretend Turkey Hasn't Invaded
2008-02-22 19:54:00
How do the Kurd's deal with a major Turkish incursion? By denial. If it didn't really happen and was coordinated with Kurdish authorities to chase bandits, then there wasn't an invasion. You can hide 10,000 troops backed by tanks in the mountains. Turkish media warn a larger incursion is being prepared. AlterNet Turkish troops entered northern Iraq to hunt Kurdish separatist rebels after fighter jets struck at their bases, the Turkish army said Friday. Some 10,000 troops penetrated 10 kilometers (six miles) into the autonomous Kurdish northern Iraq, the NTV news channel said. The operation started late Thursday when tanks were reported heading for the frontier and came as the region is in the thick of winter with sub-zero temperatures. The army did not state the number of troops involved but said the incursion followed eight hours of air and artillery strikes on Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) camps across the border on Thursday. "Following this successful offensive, a cross-...

Still more incompetence and another debacle
2007-10-27 19:50:00
Most could see the problems with the PKK coming and many could see a way to avert them. Unfortunately none of those people were in the Bush administration' State Department.A Missed Moment In Iraq The Bush administration has only itself to blame for the quandary it faces with Turkish forces poised to intervene in northern Iraq. The Turks want to retaliate against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), whose insurgents killed 12 Turkish soldiers Sunday. A massive retaliation would be a major misfortune for Turkey, Iraq and the United States.First, it would undermine the stability of the only part of Iraq where the United States is welcome. Second, it could plunge Turkey into an Iraq quagmire of its own.Sadly, this crisis was predictable and predicted. U.S. officials have long known that a Turkish incursion was just one terrorist event away. As tensions mounted, the administration had numerous opportunities to engage in preventive diplomacy. A combination of lack of imagination, incomp...

Iraq: Even Closer to the Brink
2007-10-23 18:42:00
The news out of Iraq just keeps getting worse. Now Turkey is threatening to send troops across the border to wipe out Kurdish rebel bases, after guerrillas killed at least a dozen Turkish soldiers. This latest crisis should have come as no surprise. But it is one more widely predicted problem the Bush administration failed to plan for before its misguided invasion ? and one more problem it urgently needs to deal with as part of a swift and orderly exit from Iraq. Turkey?s anger is understandable. Guerrillas from the Kurdistan Workers? Party, or P.K.K., have been striking from bases in Iraqi Kurdistan with growing impunity and effect, using plastic explosives, mines and arms that are far too readily accessible in Iraq. The death toll for Turkish military forces is mounting. Turkey?s civilian leaders are feeling strong popular pressure to lash back. The leadership needs to realize that the conflict is providing a dangerous opening for Turkey?s generals. The military is determined ...

Still More on Pelosi's dangerous folly

I discussed Nancy Pelosi's misguided and dangerous resolution condemning the massacre of Armenians here and here. I also expressed some disappointment that more people on the left had not been critical. Well this morning Steve Soto weighs in: I must have missed something, but when did the Armenian genocide become Topic A for the House Democratic leadership, at a time when we shouldn?t be pissing on Turkey and at a time when the House Democratic leadership can?t seem to focus on the here-and-now? I have no idea why Nancy Pelosi hasn?t stepped in to tell the Adam Schiffs, the Brad Shermans of her party as well as slugs like GOP hack Joe Knollenberg to go away and think about our mission in Iraq instead of scoring points for Armenian Americans. I agree with John Murtha and yes, the White House that this isn?t the time for raising this issue once again, unless you are more concerned about pleasing an interest group here at home than you are about helping to get our troops out of Iraq o...

Turkey is on the Verge of Attacking the Kurds of Northern Iraq: Thank You N

Nancy Pelosi needs to resign from Speaker of the House immediately, and be drug tested. Just as we predicted, after the recent resolution in Congress to recognize the Armenian genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire in WWI, Turkey has moved its troops to the northern boarder of Iraq, and is waiting for governmental permission to attack the Kurds. When another genocide takes place, the Kurds can thank the idiot liberals in Washington, D.C.Condoleezza Rice, while in Russia, urged Turkey not to take any further action. But, apparently we have no clout anymore with Turkey because of our meaningless resolution. This is just another reason why the Democrats cannot be trusted with our foreign policy.

Bush: The Armenian Genocide Isn't A Genocide
2007-10-11 00:02:00
Dear President Bush,Please consult your dictionary. You will find this;gen·o·cide /?d??n??sa?d/ [jen-uh-sahyd]-nounthe deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.I personally side with Turkey on the Kurdish issue, but it is time to fess up to what they did to the Armenians 90 years ago. This is in no way a criticism of our Turkish friends. We accept that our German friends and Japanese friends committed brutual war crimes in the past.On the Kurdish issue, Turkey has every right to send troops into Northern Iraq if their territory is being attacked. We were warned this may happen before we decided to do our G.I. Joe testostorone soaked invasion of Iraq three years ago, but as usual, our government did not listen.And WE are the ones preaching restraint to the Turkish? US? Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
Russia urges Turkey to show restraint over Iraq's Kurds
2007-10-10 22:05:00
Moscow has called on Ankara to exercise restraint and desist from the use of force against Kurdish militants based in Iraq, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.Mikhail Kamynin said Turkish authorities earlier announced their readiness to counter the mounting threat of terrorism, including, if necessary, the conduct of a cross-border operation in the neighboring state. "We urge all parties in the conflict to exercise maximum restraint and demonstrate the ability to assess the long-term effects of their actions, including those that might further aggravate the situation," he said. Turkey has been amassing troops on the border with Iraq, while artillery units have been shelling Kurdish positions across the border. The situation is especially serious in southeast Turkey, where 15 military servicemen were killed recently by Kurdish separatists. According to Turkish intelligence services, 3,500 to 3,800 activists from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) are being trained ...

At a high-level terror summit earlier this week, chaired by Mr Erdogan, Turkey’s senior civilian and military authorities decided to consider “every kind of legal, political and economic measure, including an incursion across the borderâ€. Parliament would still have to officially authorise any military action and the final decision rests with the Government, but the current sabre-rattling is the most purposeful it has been for some t...
