Of course, this would mean the democrats would have to claim that they ended the war by offending Turkey, which is not something I'm sure they'd want to do.quizwedgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235969771583962280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6775781.post-71779840628283534882007-10-13T10:15:00.000-05:002007-10-13T10:15:00.000-05:00I don't think the Dems are this devious - not to m...I don't think the Dems are <I>this</I> devious - not to mention smart - but a thought that has gone through my head is this. The Dems know that we cannot effectively win the Iraq war with out the aid of Turkey, both in the use of their air space as well as our bases actually in Turkey and without them resisting the urge to wipe the Kurds off the face of the planet. What if the Dems are pushing this through knowing that Turkey will take umbrage at this move and thus pull out of the alliance with the US, specifically with the Iraq war. So, if Turkey pulls out it means we need to back off significantly in Iraq because we can't support the war in the same way as we could with Turkey's support. So, this could essentially be seen as stabbing the pro-war movement in the back by causing our ability to fight this war to be severely hampered. <BR/><BR/>Like I said, I don't think the Dems are this devious and I'd hate to think that anyone would do this, but hey there are a lot of things done on the left that leave me speechless. Plus I know that this is <I>way</I> out there.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343760684164879351noreply@blogger.com
