Iraqi Kurds, Turks, US and the Media

BUSH'S BETRAYAL

It's astonishing how fast the media will jump on any pretext to stomp on Bush!

October 9, 2003 - JUDAS drove a hard bargain compared to President Bush. At least the great betrayer got 30 pieces of silver. All Bush is going to get for delivering the Kurds unto their enemies will be 10,000 Turkish troops - who will act solely in Ankara's interests, not in the interests of Washington or the people of Iraq.

Bush's desire for Turkish forces is craven. Hoping to reduce U.S. troop commitments as an election looms, he verges on throwing away the practical and moral achievements won with our soldiers' blood.

His actions will backfire at home as surely as they will in Iraq. A Turkish presence will make things worse, not better.
Turkey has one enduring aim: the suppression of Kurdish freedom anywhere in the region. That will be Ankara's immutable goal in Iraq.


How the hell does this nitwit know what Ankara has in mind?


The Canukistanian's explanation for why the Iraqi Kurds do not necessarily have to fear Turks coming to Iraq to work with the US is logical; let's hope the Turks are logical. Check it out.
