Actually, no they are not. They wanted to and when the US said no, Turkey promptly revoked the 2 Air Corridors into Iraq they agreed to allow coalition forces to use.

On the brighter side, Australian Special Forces captured an Iraqi Tugboat!








(It was attempting to lay mines, but it is funnier just to say tug boat! Go Aussies! )

FOX news reported about 1500 Turkish Special Forces have crossed the border to engage the Kurds there.

This is why they didn't want US troops on the ground there.

Turkish Forces Deploy in N. Iraq, Risk U.S. Anger

1,000 Turkish Troops Move Into N. Iraq

If the Turks and Kurds start killing each other...who do we back? Our "allies" or the people we are trying to "liberate"?

For those who would like, feel free to use the ICON in my Signature.... we have all seen it (and many used it) after 9/11..... it seems appropriate once more.

Just heard that witnesses saw Saddam taken out of palace on a stretcher after the first bombing raid. Not exactly what the news said. Was to busy eating Homer style.

Well sad news is some of our Soldiers were wounded in a grenade attack in a tent. Seems to be a inside event and was done by one of our own. Thats realy tragic and I certainly hope they find out who did it. 10 wounded and some seriously.

Now appears they do have the Soldier in custody.

Still no pictures of proof Saddam lives. They are playing some old tapes and claiming them as proof but they hardly are. But no matter.

Looks like terrorist are operating in Iraq. At least five killed at a checkpoint near a camp of the al-Qaida-linked militant group Ansar al-Islam. At least eight people were injured. More here: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ar_journalists

yea we have known they were there for some time. They are in every middle east country however. It breads em. We will be facing it for a good long while now that its been allowed to fester so long. One thing at a time is all we can do.

CTV news reported on at least one Iraqi village without food or water. Hope they get in that aid promised soon or starvation could set in.
