I know that Turkey has openly uncovered such arms dealing before.

And, note, that the Freeper’s claim came from the PKK. http://www.kurdishaspect.com/doc060607DO.html

This reminds me of the plight of the Hmong people. They're spread around in China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Nobody wants them in their country, but they have no place else to go. They tend to hide out in mountainous areas to escape political and racial persecution from whatever country they're in.

I used to work with a lot of Southeast Asians, mainly Hmong and Vietnamese, but also a scattering of Laotians, Cambodians, Thais, and who knows what. One day a machine broke down and someone put a sign in English on it saying not to use it. Before the day was over all the different nationalities in the plant had repeated the warning in their own language. There was Spanish, French, German, Vietnamese, Hmong, Thai, Laotian, Cambodian, and they all had their own unique script. It cracked me up. Those Asians used to embarrass the heck out of me over how long and hard they were willing to work to get ahead in their own version of the American dream.

Turks stage “incidents” to justify subsequent actions.

Bastards. Hopefully Kurds wil teach them what’s up.

The Turks are just POed because the Kurdish Rebels blew up a train and accidentally exposed arms shipments from Iran to Syria to Iraq and/or Lebanon via Turkey.

I had no idea, but it explains a lot. I wonder who gave the Kurds the intelligence? I doubt it would have happened without our "knowledge."

And we support the Turks getting into the EU? Good grief.

[Truth29]

Thanks. The cargo included a rocket launch pad and 300 rockets. This is just the type of things that ends up being used against Israel from Lebanon. I wonder if Turkey is playing both sides or this is lower level corruption with the necessary officials bought off?

The Turks — more genocidal Muslims, from way back.

You are so right!

Muslim Turks wrote the book on genocide. Hitler modeled his actions on that Turks did to the Christians of Asia Minor (Turkey)

An event that doesn’t happen doesn’t need censorship and the story was picked up by the AP also. Turkey admits being allies with Iran and has been playing two ends against the middle since this conflict started and that’s why they refused the US to use our bases in Turkey to launch into Iraq in the beginning.

The Kurds must feel “Sold Out” now,,,Those tanks should have been taken out as soon as they crossed the BORDER,,,
This is sickening...

“US officials” rebutting this story:

U.S. says no new military activity in northern Iraq

[tobyhill]

This is Turkey’s warning rhetoric of what they will do. ha, ha.

[Truth29]

Read post #4 in the thread you linked for an update. It looks confirmed that there is a large Turkish incursion into Northern Iraq.

[Dog]

What arms shipment?

[SevenofNine]

Yeah you are right OH OH

[elizabetty]

I think the US military has debunked this.

[jrooney]

Read what the White House says where it is not true according to American Generals in Iraq and the Kurdish government. br>

Update - White House says story not true.

It’s this situation that is undoubtedly why Iraq was not divided in three (Kurdistan, Sunnistan, and Shiitestan) as others including myself had suggested early in the game. The Turks haven’t been much an ally lately so it makes you wonder if it was worth appeasing them early in the process.

There is no religion of peace in a way of life that violates the truth from the start and ensnares its adherents into turning away from their only Savior.

Right now we have tens of thousands of socialist invaders, many of whom are violent criminals, pouring over our borders every single month.

I for one welcome our illegal alien overlords.
