| Turkey: Chopper went down in Iraq, 8 more soldiers killed in combat |
| 2008-02-25 |
| Turkey's military said Sunday that one of its helicopters went down on the Turkish-Iraqi border and that eight more soldiers were killed in combat during its cross-border ground operation in northern Iraq. It was not clear if the eight were on board the helicopter. Kurdish rebels said earlier that they shot down a Turkish military helicopter near the Turkish border. The new deaths bring the announced Turkish military toll to 15. |

| #5 #3 I just do not understand how we can liberate Iraq and then tolerate this invasion Looks more to me as "They're doing our job for us." let them, and keep quiet. More dead assholes the better. |

| #4 America keeps making itself needful of unreliable regimes like Turkey, Egypt, KSA, Pakistan, Yemen, and the list goes on. Once we need them as "allies," we can't slap them down for their stupid transgressions. Sometimes, isolationism looks pretty inviting, no matter that it remains a bad idea in the larger scheme of things. |

| #3 I just do not understand how we can liberate Iraq and then tolerate this invasion by a litte tryant who fancies himself the leader of a global caliphate. Someone please explain it to me! We, here in the United States, would not tolerate Mexico sending thousands of troops and tanks into the Texas to hunt down violent M13 gang members who rape and kill Mexicans immigrants and reporters. Why is there such a collective yawn over this invasion of Iraq by Turkey? It's outrageous!! |

| #1 The Kurds are short-sighted. Turks retaliate disproportionately. At long last the Kurds have a quiet enclave. The time is right for peaceful co-existence. |
