ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey's Cabinet agreed Monday to send troops to Iraq (news - web sites) to help stabilize the country — a decision that could relieve U.S. operations in Iraq and help Turkey mend frayed relations with the United States.

The decision now faces a tough approval from parliament, which is likely to vote on the issue this week. If approved, Turkey would become the first predominantly Muslim nation to contribute troops to Iraq.

Thus freeing up US troops for use on the "next" target in the WOT, Syria.

The parliment jerked US around before the war, I expect more of the same.
