The Turkish Special Forces team put up no resistance though a mean arsenal was discovered in their cars, including a variety of AK-47s, M4s, grenades, body armor and night vision goggles. "They did not come here with a pure heart," says U.S. brigade commander Col. Bill Mayville. "Their objective is to create an environment that can be used by Turkey to send a large peacekeeping force into Kirkuk."Turkey has no land grab schemes, eh, a_Turk? Remember when you called me brainwashed? I think you owe me an apology. Whatsa matter, too ashamed to show your face on this thread?

IN all honesty, I don't believe it is a land grab, I think that they want to see the Kurds are not allowed their own country, they are still scared to death that that is going to happen, a Kurdish nation next door would be their Palestine. They do not look forward to that possibility.
Fact is though, they need to chill out, we gave them guarantees that the Kurds would not become a separate entity, and we will keep that promise. The problem is that they screwed us and now they are running scared and doing what they feel is necassary to protect their interests.
Turkey needs to sit on their side of the border and let it happen, they did this to themselves, and they are just going to make a BAD situation WORSE.
