I think there are something like 14 divisions of Turks [View All]

Sitting on the border waiting to see just how we handle things right now.

They are waiting. This issue - not win or lose - but if the matter stays internal to Iraq -is going to be decided shortly. And it is going to happen in that province NE of Baghdad.

By December - there will be a vote about the oil up there. That oil is more than half of the production of the country - and those Kurds want to keep the money and if they do Turkey will move to block it - it is really simply in a way.

We will almost certainly end up in a fight with the Kurds that helped us or a NATO ally.

And by the way - if we were going to move to oppose Turkey - we don't have 14 divisions to oppose it.

It probably won't matter - we'll be screwed by September anyway.

Closing on a cheerful note.
