I was wondering if there is a "Kurd Card" that can be played against Syria if they get more involved in Lebanon.

Man, does anyone in the Middle East like each other?

Maybe they should of thought of that when they told us right at the start of the Iraq Liberation we could not cross their territory.
Go pound sand Turkey.

Hmmmm. Remember that time in late 02, early 03, when we wanted to use Turkish ports as a staging ground for US military and they said no. Well, here's your reward.

"It is not possible to agree with a mentality that tolerates country A and displays a different attitude when it comes to country B." That's right. You denied us access across Turkey to Iraq and we're denying you the same.

Go pound sand Turkey. Haven't trusted or cared about the Turks since they f*k'd us in the war.
Caused many additional American deaths also as a result of their duplicity.
Turkey..go pound sand!

George W. Bush is the best man to have in the White House right now.
All of you Send-A-Message-ons can go pound sand, too.

"Terrorism is terrorism everywhere," Erdogan said in Istanbul. "It is not possible to agree with a mentality that tolerates country A and displays a different attitude when it comes to country B." Hmmmm... tell that to Israel.

I do think that the Kurds ought to be told that they should stay on the Iraqi side of the border.
To: Flavius
"It is not possible to agree with a mentality that tolerates country A and displays a different attitude when it comes to country B." Oh sure it is, when country A is an ally and country B is a big old question mark. We know the Turkish government is infected.

One difference is that we will be responsible for controlling Kurdish incursions into Turkey. If it continues, we can put a stop to it, and Turkey doesn't need to invade its neighbor. If we were like Lebanon, and could not control the Kurdish militia, or chose not to, then Turkey could compare the two situations.

Except for the obvious problem. We are not Lebanon, Turkey is not Israel.

Kurdistan, unlike Iraq, is not a creation of British meglomaniacs. Kurds have a unique history, culture and language, but the world is united in denying them their legitimate national aspirations.
Try googling Kurdistan!

Our position should be that Turkey was offered a role in the coalition and refused it. If they now want in it will come with significant conditions. It should be under US command with specific missions and regions. We have to be careful that Turkey can will tell a good Khurd from a bad Khurd.
To: evad
I just want them out of power and return the west the lands they stole.

Kurdistan, unlike Iraq, is not a creation of British meglomaniacs.Those "megalomaniacs" brought the Ottoman Empire crashing down after the battle of Meggido. Israel wouldn't even exist without Allenby's victory. Too bad the British didn't get everything right.
