<<< Speaking of idiotic, the administration's plan to insert Turkish troops into Iraq has got to be the worst idea since the war that landed us there in the first place. This is one of these "what were they thinking?" proposals that seems almost too ridiculous to be true. If you want to scare yourself in preparation for Halloween (hey, it's just around the corner), then check out this MSNBC report: "Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan shrugged off comments on Thursday by Iraq's new foreign minister that Turkish peacekeeping troops would not be welcome in Iraq, saying Ankara would make its own decision." The idea that the Kurds, or any Baghdad-based government in which they play a significant role, are going to invite the Turks in to patrol Iraqi streets, is just absurd. For the U.S. to impose such a decision on its Iraqi sock puppets would provoke a full-scale rebellion in the Kurdish lands to the north – and risk spreading the war throughout the region. Walking through the Iraqi minefield of ethnic and religious rivalries and sensitivities, the U.S. is like a stumbling, bumbling, and not particularly intelligent giant puppy. Johnny Depp had it exactly right. >>> antiwar.com Tom
