Is Turkey a nuclear power?

They won't be for long. Can you say Lake Ararat? [I know..I'm dreaming..]

We need to tell Turkey "Invade and you will be at war with the US"

They know that. They will only go if given tacit approval by us. There are several benefits of having them saddled with the responsibility of Northern Iraq.

I am not standing up for them but IF the Kurds in norther Iraq have been sending terrorists and weapons for terrorists across the Turkey/Iraq border that is somewhat our responsibility.

If we are there and want others to stay out we have some of the responsibility to prevent cross border problems from Iraq's side. We have not been too good with Iraq's border controls (Syria?, Iran?). If we had been there would not be the "thousands" of "foreign fighters" would not be there... and probably fewer weapons to use against us.

Turkey should be engaged in talking with us about this problem. This needs to be worked out by politicians who are or are not giving our troops the supplies and man power. It does not need to become a tactical problem in that area.

Hopefully clear heads will prevail.
