Looks like Turkey has come to threaten Iraq’s freedom and security.
The United States cautioned Turkey on Tuesday against making an incursion into northern Iraq after Kurdish rebels launched attacks from there and urged both countries to work together to resolve the conflict.
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan gave the go-ahead on Tuesday for all necessary measures to be taken against Kurdish rebels, including a possible incursion into northern Iraq, after they carried out a series of attacks.
But the U.S. State Department warned against such a move.
“If they have a problem, they need to work together to resolve it and I am not sure that unilateral incursions are the way to go, the way to resolve the issue,” said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
Amen. Turkey must not act unilaterally against our ally the Iraqis. If they try to do so, we shouldn’t rule out military options, up to and including taking out the Turkish government.
Let’s not forget, these are the same scumbags who wouldn’t let us use their country as a staging ground when we began Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Why should we worry ourselves with what happens to them now? What favors has Turkey ever done for us? No, taking them out may work out best for us all in the long run. America will lose a burgeoning adversary, Turkey will become free and Christian, and Iraq’s security will substantially improve. Taking out Turkey, Iran, and Syria at the same time will simplify the Middle East tremendously.
We never should’ve let the Turkish state emerge after World War I. That was France’s mistake. As usual, America is there to clean up France’s mess.

I am confused. You say it is time to eat Turkey, but that’s not until next month. They we cut off their heads and scald their bodies and strip them naked.
Then we baste them and cook them and eat them.

You are the biggest ignorant in the World…USA has Airbases in Turkey which has been using whenever it needs…Right now there are Turkish army units in Afghanistan fighting alongside US soldiers against the terrorists…By the way France did not create Turkey, Turkish (Ottoman Empire) has been around before USA…AND BELIEVE YOU TO ME THEY ARE NO IRAQIES…

It would be a shame to destroy them. They deny EVILution even more than America.
Can we nuke the UN and the UN headquarters first? All they have done is attempt to bring us into a One World Government. Their flag also seems to prove to me that this theory of a ’round earth’ is completely false. The UN is just playing on our gullibility.
Why is conservatism adopting the intervention tactics created by LIBELrals, anyways? Neoconservatives DIDN’T make 9-11 an inside job (they were right to go after Bin Laden).
Comment by Bob_Corker — October 9, 2007 @ 4:19 pm |
What favors has Turkey done for US???? Looks like you have no knowledge of history or the present for that matter…
Who saved American soldiers’ ass in Korea? Who hosted hundreds of American bases in their country during the cold war allowing Americans to spy on the Soviet Union?? Which air base is US using today to fly into Iraq conveniently??? Which border crossings are being utilized to transport goods to US soldiers in Iraq???
You must think before you call people scumbags, especially if those people have always been your allies! What good has the Iraq war brought to the US so far? Turkey used her democratic choice not to participate in that idiotic war. Turkish people were able to see the grave consequences of an unnecessary war, while Americans were so blinded by Mr Bush’s lies… So many lives have been lost in vain & US’ entry into Iraq opened the Pandora’s box, which is why today we are at this point.
US weapons are miraculously finding their way into the hands of the terrorist organization PKK (Blackwater), who in return kill hundreds of innocent people and soldiers!! You think Turkish people should rejoice attending dozens of funerals everyday, and at the same time have great feelings and trust towards US when they know the weapons which kill these people are of US make and that US is not even lifting a finger to do something about it?
For years now Turkish government has been almost begging US to help resolve this conflict, what has US done so far other than playing both sides?
Nobody wants war, but nobody wants to see the death of more innocent people in the hands of terrorists. Isn’t the deaths of over 30 thousand people enough so far?

Dear sir,
As a republican I am amazed at your ignorance. I do not know what state you represent at this time, but it is obvious you did not get a quality education in historical matters. I think to keep your job in the next election you should try and concentrate on local matters since you have no real knowledge about what has happened on this planet outside of the county you grew up in and the historical lessons you may or may not have received from your local preacher. One may use your level of ignorance as a barometer of the quality of public education in your district. Maybe this is something you can concentrate on?
Maybe, by the time the kids attending grade school graduate from high school they may know who won the civil war.
Comment by ZC — October 9, 2007 @ 5:39 pm |
What a pity… Those minds are governing USA…
You should define the term terrorism. USA attacked two countries so far presumebly to catch terrorist. Turkey will also hunt PKK terrorist who nested in northern Iraq, protected by Kurdish local government,unless Iraq delivers them to Turkey. You will see. What a shame that the terrorists are using American weapons. You will learn the value of Turks when they cut logistic support, and usage of bases in Turkey.
By the way, France did not give independency to Turkey, Turkish people won independence under Ataturk’s leadership(The greatest leader in 20th century)
Comment by Fuat Ornarli — October 9, 2007 @ 8:36 pm |
This sounds like a joke! It is so sad and so embarrasing for a US senator to be so ignorant. He calls Iraqis America’s friend. I suppose since he thinks it is ok to kill his friends he accepts Iraqis killing Americans. Nearly 4,000 soldiers have died in the hands of people you call “friends” He has no clue who Turks are, how they have been a loyal ally of the United States forever and have supported USA in every war except this one. And, what a smart choice! It is a losing war senator! There will never be victory I am sad to say because this beautiful country of ours has sent so many its young there and they have died in vain! I had an uncle who fought in the Korean war, he used to say how Turks saved Americans from the N. Koreans. As NATO members Turks aided US in all their cold war operations with tens of bases all across Turkey, sent soldiers to Afghanistan, commanded the ISAF troops in Afghanistan at least two terms, supported US during the first Gulf War, allowed ally planes to fly into N. IRaq since first Iraq war to take in all types of support, aid, supplies and technology for the Kurds to build their land which now turns against the Turks by allowing terrorists being based there. It is a great nation you are talking about Mr. Brownback, proud nation that had empires long before this country was built. And, Turks are loyal friends, I hate to see them lose faith in us, because we will always need them. It is not easy to build friendship and trust, but it is very easy to lose them especially if someone like you gets to vote in US Congress. Simply unbelieable!! You certainlty have made a fool of yourself.

A QUESTION FOR OUR COMMENTERS ON A RELATED TOPIC
So you angry Turks, I have a question for you. What do you think of the Brownback-Biden three state political solution for Iraq? I imagine that none of you are too excited about a Kurdish state on your southern border. Could it work? Or is it a bad idea?
In brief, the idea is to create three states within Iraq: a Kurdish state, a Sunni state and a Shia state with a central government in Bagdad. A loose federation of three states within Iraq. Thoughts?
You can read more about it in Senator Brownback’s own words here.
I think there will be more details on Friday, October 12. So be sure to come back and comment on it after we bring you the latest!

In democracy everyone including the scumbagsenators are entitled to their opinions.
To make those irresponsible and insulting statements one has to be ignorant,liar and stupied jerk. Only in America a so called senator with those attributes will get a few votes and elected. Mr.Brownback is a living proof of that.

That’s because they don’t have the same Culture of Life we Christian Republicans Americans do. The Turks would just bomb people to kill them, not bomb people to save lives like we Americans do. Only a compassionate people who are fully committed to respecting life have the moral clarity to necessary to attack civilian populations.
Comment by BJ Tabor — October 10, 2007 @ 11:54 am |
Calling for war in yet another country who never invaded or attacked America is a prime example of Neo-Conservative fascist theocratic outer fringe right wing Nationalism.
People who are pro war that claim to be Christain are nothing but charlatans. Satan is alive and well with the pseudo-Christain pro-war crowd.
Comment by Spacebrother — October 10, 2007 @ 1:39 pm |
Spacebrother,
Were are we calling for war? All we are doing is declaring we will do our Christian duty and defend freedom if it is attacked. Good men can not stand by while some country declares a weaker country a bunch “terrorists” and attacks them just because the stronger country feels like it. This is why Bush is making this moral stance against Turkey.
Comment by BJ Tabor — October 10, 2007 @ 3:38 pm |
The thread title “Time To Destroy Turkey” numb nuts. Nothing Bush says remotely resembles truth and the only duty to being Christain is praying and charity. Christ had never encouraged violence and people who support war are’nt real Christains.
A side note on Bush. He’s a war criminal and should be imprisoned.

Now I understand that we are talking about a country called “Turkey” and not the highly tasty bird raised in cages to celebrate the founding of our Christian Nation, and the start of our necessary elimination of the evil indians that had pre-stolen our land.
Now, seriously, why would any nation call themselves “Turkey” if they were not just begging to be abused. Definately low-self esteem that may be helped by sending everyone in the country to Baptist Bible School for proper Christian Training.

Spacebrother @ The thread title “Time To Destroy Turkey” numb nuts.
Now how are we to protect Iraq if we don’t destroy Turkey? Well? We are only acting defensively, the Turks have in their hands to prevent Istanbul and Ankara turned in a pile of radioactive rubble. All they have to is value the lives of others like we and President Bush does and we won’t have to send fleets of B52s to rain death from the sky down upon them.
Comment by Bob L — October 10, 2007 @ 9:09 pm |

Turkey has the right to defend its territory just like The US. Fighting with Iraq was the stupidest battle America has ever engaged in. Even all of the European allies except for Britain thought it was a bad idea. And now America needs Turkey. Then why the hell is our stupid congress people voting for the Armenian genocide bill? For 1.5 million Armenians out of 300 million people, we are going to risk the safety of American soldiers if Turkey should decide to close military bases, which the US uses to transport military hardware and supplies? We are risking the lives of our soldiers!
Now, I am pissed. The Armenians obviously are interested in their own self-interest instead of the best interest of the United States. Maybe we should deport them. One more thing, this Senator Brombeck and his blogger fan base should take some history lessons before they make such stupid statements about a NATO Alley. My friend you have a lot to learn about the Geopolitical world.

Turkey has every right to squish any wannabe terrorists coming from their neighbour country. ANd hey, right now, your army couldn´t even mess with Iran, let alone a military that has actually some modern hardware and backing by the EU. But right, you are the guys that want WWIII…
What favors has Turkey ever done for us?
You mean except allowing you to station SRBM´s in their country during the Cold War and being NATO members? Or except renting a huge airbase to you?
PS: Turkey´s a democracy. I somewhat doubt that anyone would buy your “regime change” excuse here.
That’s because they don’t have the same Culture of Life we Christian Republicans Americans do.
“Culture of Life” my ***! Christians are responsible for the worst cases of mass murder in human history.
Good men can not stand by while some country declares a weaker country a bunch “terrorists” and attacks them just because the stronger country feels like it.
In that case, someone should nuke your country.

As far as I´m concerned, we won´t massacre anyone. We´ll just kick anyone square in the nuts who tries to mess with us or our allies. (If it are GI´s, well, that´d be a massacre, given what I´ve seen about the quality of today´s US Army.) And I say it again, sissy: Mess with Europe and the USA are going down in a conventional war. Go nuclear and we´ll just kill each other, making China and Russia the big winners.
PS: Somehow I remember us being a bit too busy digging/assaulting trenches to care about Turkey in WWI.

They pick up the other country’s government in their car, and treat them to dinner and a movie before dropping them back off at home.
That, or they nuke an entire country, including innocent men, women, and children who had nothing to do with the activities of said government.

Yes, it’s time to divide Turkey. The western part all territory north of the Mediteranean Sea should go their former motherland Greece. The eastern part should be merged in a new state with Irak, Iran & Syria. That way we will a Arab-free Asia (Arab peninsula considered part of Africa and a Muslim free Europa. The Turks who don’t want to learn Greek can go back to South- and Central-Asia were most of their ancestors come or to Mongolia, were their language comes from.

I wonder how you’re going to take out Turkey, since Turkey is a member of the Nato.
And trying to make the population christian will only bring forth more and more rebellions, riots, and killing of your soldiers.
Eventually, people will rise up, and throw you out of the country.
And, Turkey has a military not to be underestimated. you wont get into Turkey like you did in Iraq.

With all the shit you gavurs talk. I have seen and experienced the truth myself. You humans are scared to death of any Turk or Turkic on Earth. When a Turk is in the area, that Turk is controlling all life in that area. How did one Turkish family and one Turkic control the waves from the OCEAN in Santa Monica? How? When you realize the answer, you will know that Turks will bring you gavurs to an end. A long awaited end of the gavur, non-believer, blasphemer, most-garbage way of living since the history of Earth, gavurs. Every Turk or Turkic knows they are here on Earth to bring Earth to an END. Not a new world order, not a dick-jerking faggot illuminati, but WOLVES devouring the human race in the last horror show of the Earth. It’s when ALLAH lets loose the most vicious divine animal their is. To tear apart a world gone wrong, and to make the gavur suffer in life and in death. And for eternity. 8.
