I turned on the TV on Friday night and was channel hoping when I stopped on RTE, The “Late Late Show” to be precise.
There was an animated argument going on about the US stopping over in Shannon.
A point was made by one of the Tree Huggers that the Turkish Army is mobilising on the Northern Iraqi Boarder ready to strike south. Not to assist the Allied coalition but to occupy the Kurdish Northern area of Iraq, with an aim to subdue the Kurds, least they might spark war in Turkey in their quest for an independent Kurdish state.
Can anyone confirm this?? I had a look around and could not find any proof to substantiate this.
It seems to me that History is repeating itself, was it not a policy of alliances that dragged Europe into the First World War and subsequently the Second World War??
Now it’s the Allies Vs. Saddam and "the axis of evil" and if this "rumour" about Turkey is true, it could spark Civil War there. Compounded by Arab Hostility towards Israel and the trouble heating up in Korea, it’s looking pretty dodgy!!!
