Remember Powells presentation to the UN.....he showed a still photo of a chem bunker with decomination trucks nearby.
The Marines captured 2 of those same vehicles yesterday..
Blix pooh- poohed Powells claim of those trucks.....we just proved ole Hans was wrong..
As is now plain, the Turk/Kurd (and Iran?) situation was and is a potential flash point that would be blamed on the US if ignited. A Turk/Kurd bloodbath in Iraq would have enormous ramifications, as would the annexation of Iraqi land and oil wells by Turkey and/or Iran. I think that our desire to place troops in Turkey was more to control Turkish designs in Iraq and on the Kurds than anything else. I think the Turks knew that but neither side can say so.
