Smells Like Victory?

Apparently, the dumber media outlets are hailing the Bush “victory” in bribing Turkey to send ten thousand troops into Iraq, despite strong objections from the US-appointed Iraq Governing Council, who want the Turks to stay out. Hmmm. Only a few weeks ago, US soldiers had to arrest a Turkish army black bag squad within Iraq whose mission was apparently to assassinate Kirkuk’s Kurdish governor. I guess they don’t believe in recalls? Anyway, I’m sure the news that a division of Turkish soldiers will soon be encamped on their southern flank will cheer up Iraq’s northern Kurds no end…
