I think that Turkey might "come around" at the last minute and surprise everyone. I think that there will be a Northern front that Saddam is not expecting. What is your feeling on this Turk?

See my post #34, and I'll also add an eighth reason why a surprise Turkish based northern front probably isn't in the works. Creating such an appearance of division & setback in the Pentagon's planning would reduce the likelihood of Saddam choosing abdication over armed conflict. Moreover, it emboldens our diplomatic adversaries to obstruct the path to war in several other areas - most notably the United Nations. Again, I fail to see the utility of a surprise northern front, for this reason along with the others I've stated previously.

I have a feeling that the US DoS and Turkey may not be seeing eye to eye.. I don't want to speculate any more.

Good luck to all of us..
