>> If the Scuds are in the Kurdish area of Iraq, could this not be the staging area used for a strike on Turkey?

They know better than to attack us.

>>US Airbases (Incirklik(?)), or other assets not necessarily belonging to Turkey might be targeted

Correction, those assets belong to us, we're kind enough to host you.

>>how would the Turkish government react to that?

Declare war and "help" their poor oppressed population.

Sorry, I was'nt referring to the Real Estate of airbases and staging areas that one of my nation's most valued and loyal allies lets us use, I was referring to the equipment and some persons on those bases that are US military assets and personnel.

If that did'nt get conveyed properly to you, than that is on me.

You're right. It would be an invitation to flatten the cities. Do you think we'd take the invitation? How many innocent civillians would we be willing to kill in order to kick Saddam's Ass? Don't you think that's precisely the question he wants us to be faced with.

You have to understand. Saddam doesn't give two *hits about anything but his own lust for power. As he sees it, he's got a nation full of human shields.
