No surprise as Turkey marks its territory
THOMAS BARNETT
ARTICLE: "Turkey Allows Troops to Enter Iraq to Attack Rebels," by Sebnem Arsu and Sabrina Tavernise, New York Times, 10 October 2007, p. A12. nytimes.com

This was coming no matter the diversions of Congressional resolutions or Kurdish oil deals or neighborhood stuffing in Kirkuk.

Cleaning up border camps is something Turkey has a right to do, given the continuing threat.

No, as our State Department points out, it does not lead to long-term stability in the region, but it doesn't exactly hurt either.

God knows we've got similar plans and intent re: Iran, and those are legit too, when pursued in the same limited manner.
