*head to desk*

god that was horrible. so, so, horrible.

Cheesy? That was about as gouda headline you're gonna get in this situation.

Are they going to go from cottage to cottage? I bet they're pretty sharp.

/cheese pun powers... ACTIVATE
//form of.. Thread derailing!

Hoshyar Zebari's comments came amid calls by Turkey's military for the government to give it the green light to carry out military operations in northern Iraqi against the rebel Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.

...and by rebels, they mean everyone. Get ready for the turkey shoot.

Make note of this, in case we need a reason to invade Turkey 20 years from now.

All cheesing aside, I actually think this is a good thing (for everyone except the Kurds).
Turkey has the means and the stomach to get control in the region.
This could be the perfect opportunity for the US to leave and let them have the whole mess.
Keep in mind, before we stuck our noses into WWI and upset the balance of powers, the Ottomans did quite well in keeping peace through out the whole of the middle east.

an' that 'no?

/Glaswegian joke.

Under/Over on US ally and NATO member Turkey getting into a firefight with US troops?

I'm going to Turkey in September. Not this area though. Going to feast on kofte and get wasted on uzo.

Were they sitting on tuffets?

/Didn't RTFA, just laughed at the headline.

ralanprod

Code name: Operation Little Miss Muffet


anyone heard of an old video game called "Jet Fighter 2"?

because I remember that being a mission code name :(

Bet they gobble those Kurds right up.

FarkingBastige: Bet they gobble those Kurds right up.

Yup, they'll edam for breakfast.

So it is our fault the Ottoman Empire collapsed? That's a hoot.

That headline was the product of a very active culture

This colby very bad. They cheddar not bleu it.

That's not gouda ... what are the american and swiss going to do about this? they might have to send in jack ... that guy from monterey. i hope he doesn't get peppered.

That headline blue.

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

/somebody had to

Somewhere, there is an American cheesed.

NikolaiFarkoff: I didn't know Turks were Catholic...(that's nobody's business but their own)


MadAfro: That's nobody's business but the Turks.

/somebody had to

Missed it by about three hours.

Blood in the water, they smell it.

czarangelus: nder/Over on US ally and NATO member Turkey getting into a firefight with US troops?

Considering the size of the Turkish army, I don't want to see that.

They're just trying to get the Kurd's goat.

bitteroldman: Turkey has the means and the stomach to get control in the region.
This could be the perfect opportunity for the US to leave and let them have the whole mess.

Saddam had the means and strength to maintain control in the region.

We should have left Iraq alone and let him keep the whole mess.

Just came in...very nice Subby.

Wait a minute - Turkey's a COUNTRY now?

Approve
/love the Wensleydale

You guys are farked up.

/Air Support?

I'll take a bag of 'em.


/Make sure they're squeaky, please.

MadAfro That's nobody's business but the Turks.

People just like it better that way?

World War Three Cheese?

/weak, but it's the best I've got right now...
//Yes, I am enjoying the text editor

Provolone...

/Do'h!

The Kurds at least accept midget's in their army. They have no problem with either large or small Kurds.

/+1, Subby.

GIVE IT TO THEM.

Then Iran won't get it, and we can leave.

Why are they so afraid of poultry?

Those muensters. Still, tons of troops on the border can't end wheel.
