Turkey may not be in the Mosul area to attack ISIS or train Iraqi troops, as other stories have claimed.

This is interesting.
Maybe a little playing off of Russia against US, and what about the Kurds... and all that oil?

They violated Iraqi ground space, shoot them down.

Yesterday Iraq said.....No US boots on the ground....

Russia is there at the invitation of Iraq.

Why would Turkey attack their oil business partner?

Didn’t the Iraq PM mention several weeks ago he would consider asking Russia for help against ISIS?

[Thibodeaux]

Mosul is not now and has not been Iraq in some time now

[bakeneko]

This kind of crap is why American assets should be out of there immediately.

Plenty of oil to try to take advantage of as well as lots of Kurds to hinder.

This is what happens when GOP Neo-cons and Democrat `Arab Spring' NWO twats take turns screwing the same poor pooch: A complete cluster ****.

Suck it up buttercup you made your bed, go lay in it.

“Turkey may not be in the Mosul area to attack ISIS or train Iraqi troops, as other stories have claimed.”

Turkey is probably there to:

a. Support ISIS
b. Attack the PKK Kurds
C. Both

Nineveh Province, where Mosul is, also has a main concentration of Iraq’s ethnic Turks (Turkmen). They could be forming a militia from that population.

I expect Turkey is there to attack the Kurds, the only ground forces opposing ISIS.

Question for the Iraqi PM: If Turkish troops are in Mosul, ISIS controls much of the western part of your country, and you can’t do anything about it but talk, does Iraq have much “sovereignty” to violate?

So what, borders mean nothing. /s
