All Things Turkey

Brietbart posts an AP story that Turkish military operations into Iraq have commenced:
Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships reportedly attacked positions of Kurdish rebels along its rugged border with Iraq on Wednesday, as Turkey's military stepped up its anti-rebel operations.

On Sunday, Turkish helicopter gunships have penetrated into Iraqi territory and troops have shelled suspected Kurdish rebel positions across the border in Iraq, a government official said Wednesday.
Just letting you know. We'll see how this thing shakes out, but hopefully your calls and e-mails will kill the House resolution to condemn Turkey, and relations will remain at least relatively friendly.

For a great explanation of why relations are strained between the U.S. and Turkey, read Tony Blankley's column 'Why We Are Losing Turkey' at RealPolitics.com. It'll only take a minute, but it brings a whole new light to this particular situation, as well as a new perspective on winning the War on Terror. Go check it out.

There's my two cents.
