We entered the war in 2003. While there have been rumblings all along, it wasn’t until Pelosi pulled this resolution out of her ‘bag of tricks’ that Turkey publicly stated they were reconsidering their position in relation to this war effort.
If Turkey does end overflights and movements of supplies across it’s soil, it’s going to make things very difficult for our troops.
I know our country allows Mexican citizens to pour into our nation to attack our citizens, but I can’t blame Turkey for doing what we should have long ago.
You know folks, Muslim or not, people do have a right to defend their citizens.
How was this resolution allowed to get any legs at all during such a sensitive time in the region? Crazy.
However, when it spills over into northern Iraq, which is currently under our protection in trying to get a stable government set up,then it is a major frigging problem.
Northern Iraq is about the most stable part of the country right now. Turkey is about to start a new war front within Iraq’s northern border. They have stated that exact intention.
When the Turks start lobbing artillery shells into northern Iraqi towns and killing innocent civilians, are we just going to stand by?
