I think you are mistaking truck drivers for soldiers.
I know the Iraqis don't want the Turks to come into Iraq, especially the Kurds, but Turkey, in its zeal to appease France and enter the EU, has made life difficult for us, including not allowing us to enter Iraq through Turkey during the initial invasion.
They'll get to read the perverted writer of their beloved koran there!

I realize that. It was the same case for the Filipino truck driver, except the Philippines decided to hasten up the departure of their soldiers out of Iraq as a response to this extortion. The Spaniards pulled out their troops because train passengers in Madrid were blown up. The point is that by acceding to these demands, we put more people in danger.

These sub humans must be wiped off the face of the earth. I think some Turkish troops should find these bastards in Iraq and take care of a few of them appropriately.
The Iraqi people will take care of these animals themselves.
The US military will see to it.
It saddens me that an innocent Turkish truck driver has been slaughtered by barbarians. May he rest in peace.
It also saddens me that some on this forum paint all Muslims with the same brush.
The religion of this murdered Turk and the innocent Iraqis being blown up almost daily in Iraq is Islam.
They are being killed because the terrorists really want to kill American and Coalition troops and, being unable to do so in large numbers, are targeting so-called supporters.
This suggests to me that religion is just the excuse used for recruiting, rather than the true motivation.
I am sorry and ashamed that you have to put up with this level of vitriol because of your country of origin.
That sound like a threat. Not from you, but from the fundamentalist Muslims. That people who dare speak the truth about Muhammad's life of murder will be killed or neutralized. I know many ex Muslims are afraid to come out in public and say they have broken with Islam.
IOW: Very, very bad to say bad things about Mohamed and his life. Jesus is often mocked, Jews are killed by the millions, but no one is allowed say what needs to said about the life of Muhammad. The worthwhile Muslim is the one who ignores the parts of Koran and Hadith that spell out Jihad wars against the kufr (non Muslim)
Scum.
Heartfelt sympathy for the family of this young man.
They also explore how Palestinian stringers are used by almost every single wire service. Of course, most of these guys are affiliated with Arafat's Fatah thugocracy and/or Islamist psychopaths, who are members of PIJ, HAMAS, etc.
On the other hand, it seems kind of odd that they would do this so abruptly, without consulting other foreign suppliers/security companies, to see how their safety could be ensured.
Even if they retain seventy-percent of their business, it's still a bad business decision.
What happens if say, the Kurds rebel in Syria, or more unrest breaks out in the Persian Gulf region?
How are they going to justify obeying the whims of a terrorist group?
Personally, I think that this maneuver is just as shortsighted and dangerous as The Phillipines' decision to withdraw its forces from Iraq.
The only problem with the football analogy, is that the USA = Baltimore Ravens, and Terrorists = Pop Warner. No matter how much they cheat, they're still going to get killed.
Their worst fears are going to be realized if they don't stop placating the worst instincts of the worst creatures on this planet.
Yakkety yakkety yak. Kill these terrorist f***s just to shut their mouths, if nothing else.
Fear is the primary motivation behind pandering, IMHO.
I make one by accident from time to time.
Normal scenario: Little kid in school gets bullied. Little kid starts trying to be bully's friend. Bully starts getting little kids lunch money. Little kid keeps quiet. Bully starts beating up little kid. Little kid stays quiet. Little kid takes a stick to bully's head. Bully leaves little kid alone.
Conspiracy Guy scenario: Bully picks on Conspiracy Guy. CG asks what the problem is. Bully says, I don't like you. CG says, so. Bully takes a swing. CG ducks, moves quicly behind bully, and kicks bully in the groin. CG grabs broom and procedes to flog bully. Once bully is throughly flogged CG says, want to be friends or do you just want to stay out of my way.
