We are still giving the Turks $1 Billion (it was in yesterday's war appropriation bill). As to the heavy armor units formerly parked in Turkish waters: The troops are already in Kuwait... but their tanks and APCs will take 4 to 6 weeks to get there.

I hope not. It could be the right move; the troops can only stay in the field so long before becoming physically and emotionally exhausted. If we bring in fresh troops at that time, we may be able to sweep the Iraqis up. I think there are those who oppose Bush and/or the war who secretly want to see some disaster in Iraq to prove they are right. I think people like that are, in a word, scum. I did not agree with the path here, but we're here. Saddam IS scum, so let's take him out and get started on the rebuilding. I don't have a problem with antiwar protestors. I think it demonstrates to the rest of the world that we really DO allow free speech and that we protect it fiercely. However, when the protestors try to disrupt commerce, in this economy, they are doing more harm to everyone.
