Compiled from 2 sources.

I just heard on the CBS Evening news that our top envoy in the
Turkey v Kurd conflict quit saying that the bush admin. did not live up
to it's word. Retired U.S. Air Force General Joseph Ralston has submitted
his letter of resignation to Condi Rice because he had promised to
the Turks that we and "loyal Iraqi troops" would keep the Kurds in
check but it turns out we are powerless to do anything. So rather than
play the fool he quit.



< Monday's U.S. statement called on Iraqi authorities to take effective measures against the PKK,
and said that the United States stands ready in every appropriate way to support efforts by
Turkey and Iraq to protect their citizens and stop terrorist violence.

In a reflection of the importance it attaches to the issue, the Bush administration in 2006 named
retired U.S. Air Force General Joseph Ralston, a former supreme commander of NATO, as a special
envoy for countering the PKK.

Spokesman McCormack confirmed reports that Ralston has submitted a letter of resignation
to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, but would not address questions about the reasons
for his departure from the unpaid position.

He said he did not know if Ralston would be replaced. >

I Bet Bu$h had a shit hemorage..... that is why they have to provide their own oval rug

.... from what little I could gather he was hung out to dry and
a senior military official said of the powder keg, "Nothing we can
do we don't have the troops ... we can just pray that things do
not get worse."

We really have opened the gates of hell.
