"Push coming to shove" for the Crawford Strategy. A couple of biggies for this coming week. The Turkish government is planning to ask parliament next week to approve the dispatch of up to 10,000 troops to neighbouring Iraq to serve in an international security force, parliamentary sources said Thursday. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is expected to discuss the issue first at a cabinet meeting on Monday and within its parliamentary group on Tuesday. It is then expected to ask lawmakers to vote on a motion on the dispatch of troops on Wednesday or Thursday, the sources added. from spacewar.com and US Ambassador to the UN JohnNegroponte told reports Thursday that members of the Security Council will hold their first consultation on the new US draft on Iraq at 3:30 p.m. (1930 GMT) next Monday.
