Turkish Troops In Action, 10 kms into Iraq lands Options

[arrow]

Today Turkish army started a limited incursion ( 10,000 troops ) against PKK bases in mountains of Iraq. After heavy bombardment of planes and long range artillery last night 10,000 troops moved into snow covered areas.

PKK was sure that there was no chance that such an operation would happen in winter but..

What do you guys think about it, any inside information ?

You may support the actions or not but it really doesn't matter anymore. The thing is we have been asking for authorities in there to take action against PKK and secure your borders.


We have lost a lot of civilians last year and troops killed by roadside bombs... We asked over and over for colobration but all we had was people telling us how to do things and how to run our own country...

Our Kurdish friends in here accused us of being cowards, tried to humiliate us with childish topics.. PKK has around 10,000 " guerrillas" , now we have 10,000 troops in the region. Let us see what those " brave guerillas" can do when war is on their own lands...

I am a pasifist, I believe in diplomacy, negotiations and reason. But there is a time when action needs to be taken. And I believe the time for action is past due. I hope for the sake of civilians that Talabani can seperate PKK and Pesmerge or things will get really dirty..
