I would be really impressed if our whole dispute with Turkey turned out to be an enormous deception, and we were smuggling our troops into northern Iraq through there anyway (with the full cooperation of the Turks). Sort of the reverse of Patton's "phantom army" before D-Day. I don't really believe this could happen, but it would be something.

our whole dispute with Turkey

That same thought crossed my mind yesterday.

And what happened to the ships, equipment, and troops positioned to move into Turkey? Have they gone on vacation?
