"There is no reason anymore for Washington to consider Turkey's interests in northern Iraq," a Turkish military source said. "If the United States acts alone in northern Iraq, then the Kurds will be the main military ally of Washington."

That's right. And the die is already cast.

Turkey would have been great to have as an ally. Too bad they chose the other side.

Turkey prepares to stake claim in Iraq's oil fields - (It's the oil, stupid.)

Seems like the Party of God (the Islamic political party in Turkey) really doesn't care. Their objective was to stop Washington, which apparently has not worked, and in the process...their economic sector will slide 20 percent over the next two weeks. This is normally where the Turkish military steps in and tosses all the politicans on the street for 3 years. I wonder if that is the next step in this process.

It's like WWI all over again. The Ottoman's chose Germany over England and we know what happened to their empire...

I'm not so sure about Turkey. I can't really trust someone that killed over a million Christians.
