#3 Rewritten for Baby Assads consideration:

"Turkish Defence Minister Vecdi Gonul said Syria was allowing terrorists to stage attacks on Turkey from its side, and Turkey would be able to settle accounts after clearing lanes through the minefields."

#4 this may be smoke for - we are clearing this areas of mines to make way for avenues that the military can use in a pincer operation in conjunction with the US army in Iraq. the Turks know that scewed with the best security relationship they have ever had, regardless of what murat say's,and that they cannot depend on the eurotrash. time for some amends....

#8 Dan, every time there is discussion of an invasion, Shipman expresses a maniacle enthusiasm for the pincer move. Evidently it is Lucky's gag, but imagine Patton after a double expresso.

OT, but of intrest - BBC news is running the article Coffee is "health drink" says Italian. I needed good news of this sort after finding out that McDonalds would no longer allow me to Super Size my Fries.
