Trinilos: Money shot.

Is this the new boobies?

As a liter, I wish the mods would flat out refuse to greenlight anything until it has been subjected to TFers for at least one comment.

I love that headline...

My God! Daft Punk has invaded Iraq?

Nope. In fact, I believe my comment pretty much directly correlates to the headline.

/think about it

Subby: +1 for the headline.

My question is did Turkey actually reach those rebel bases? My understanding, from what I can read, is that they took heavy casualties and got bogged down pretty quickly.

My question is why is this such a big deal? Turkey sending troop into Northern Iraq this time a year happens with almost the same regularity as basball and spring training. In fact that is how they know spring is near, the spotting of the first Turkish troops.

Turkish officials denied they had been pressured into ending their country's most extensive operation in northern Iraq in more than a decade.

"The Turkish Armed Forces decided when to begin and end the operation on its own deliberation and its decision is not influenced from outside or inside," Turkey's chief of general staff, Gen. Yasar Buyukanit, said in a statement.

Um... yeah, ok. And I won't cum in your mouth, I swear

This one is for you whistleridge

hasty ambush: My question is why is this such a big deal?
This isn't a minor raid, it is a division sized attack. If it goes on a long time the 7 to 10 thousand Kurdish troops working with the Americans in Bagdad and Mosel would be likely to leave their posts and go north to help their tribal brothers against the Turks.

Turkey has a new government, and they have long since been disgusted with the lies and duplicity of the Americans in Iraq. It is very likely that TFA is little more than wishful thinking (propaganda aimed at domestic USA) because 1)a division sized attack 30 miles into the mountains of northern Iraq in the dead of winter cannot be turned off like a faucet and 2) TFA mentions Bush several times as being a key to the situation and the new Turkish government has absolutely no respect for the Bush administration.

This is an ongoing problem, and it still could spiral out of hand.
The Kurds have been attacking into Iran as well, and if Turkey gets away with attacking with impunity into Iraq, Iran might chose to do so as well. Probably not with Cheney having a hardon to start a war with Iran (so very lucrative for him and his cronies, but so very bad for the average American), but if Obama or Clinton get in probably soon thereafter.

gangbangs are funny...

milominderbinder: My question is did Turkey actually reach those rebel bases? My understanding, from what I can read, is that they took heavy casualties and got bogged down pretty quickly.

They also claims to have killed a few hundred Kurds, haven't seen any ratio on rebel vs. farmer or anything like that yet.

Just guessing that this entire thing was in order to appease the most kill-happy Turks over what has been happening in Turkey lately. Of course, there are quite a few upset PKK members and relatives, which will lead to a new bout of attacks in Turkey, which will mean that there will be another Turkish invasion by midsummer in order to appease angry relatives of killed soldiers in Turkey.

Many Turks, especially in western cities such as Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, strongly supported the crackdown. During some months last year, the PKK guerrillas killed more Turkish troops than Americans lost in Iraq in the same period.

In the United States, "the more casualties you suffer, the less support" for an operation, retired Gen. Haldun Solmazturk said in Ankara. "It's the other way entirely in Turkey."

This is why you don't mess with Turks. They're farking crazy people, man.

whistleridge: Right now, in the US at least, that's probably more of a reference to the Kanye West song "Stronger", which samples heavily from the Daft Punk song, and which a lot of musically illiterate morons under the age of 25 think is all original...
!

So you're familiar with Edwin Birdsong, whose "Coca Cola Baby" was basically sped up, looped in places, and given a high-hat overdub to create the Daft Punk track?

Sampling Daft Punk to make a new song is like having your signature 'homemade' barbecue sauce be mediocre grocery-store barbecue sauce (say, KC Masterpiece) that you've added honey to at home.

I like how when Turkey invades, the US demands they leave, but the US themselves refuse to leave.

I guess that answers that question I heard a long time ago:

If Turkey invades Iraq from the rear, would Greece help?

Withdrawing from Iraq is tantamount to surrender.

One of my favorite recycled headlines.. +1

Military occupation in other sovereign nations is just wrong.

Antimatter: I like how when Turkey invades, the US demands they leave, but the US themselves refuse to leave.

Forget that. I like how Bush is the one telling the Turks to get out before they get themselves bogged down. Oh, the irony.

Never trust a Turkish condom.


It's packed in crab juice, after all.

They had the rebel bases in their sights, but then some bush pilot shot a proton torpedo up their exhaust pipe.

That headline is full of win. +1 subby

1. That would be "Harder, Better, Faster Stronger", and not the other.

Under 25. Was aware of Daft Puck prior to Kanye.

Well, not quite, but they did sign off on him getting a couple actors to put on their stage outfits for the video, and when interviewed about the song "Stronger" said that they felt like West "completed a collaboration we hadn't realized we were participating in" (paraphrased).

Hate on West because of his goofball politics, if you must. Don't be so silly as to claim that he doesn't understand the music he's making.

Yea, and I really don't see how it's any less "cultured" than Daft Punk. People that hate on good rap music usually are into stuff that looks just as stupid to people who aren't into that particular type of music.

And yea, I'm going to see Kanye in May, and the concert looks like it'll have sort of a "Stronger" vibe

As a metalhead, I should not my head in agreement, and say something like "Totally true."

But metalheads aren't that smart. So rap is the gayzor and should be abolished. \m/\m/

Look, in case you haven't been reading the FARK threads for the apst year, the worlds' cities are in flames; the economies are reduced to barter systems, all we have to barter with is canned goods, shotgun shells, and our good-looking children; oh and it is world war three now because of Turkey invading Iraq.

Does that burn? Or does the condom pinch your dick or something?

http://natas6.0/: Ain't big on wearing womens underthings, and ain't likely to go to Turkey. But if it gives you a thrill to do such things, knock yourself out, it's a free country.

Yeah, I'm Mr gloom and doom with my predictions. Probably reading way too much War Nerd and foreign writers, since I don't trust a lot of the American sources, especially including a writer sitting in the green zone working for the Washington Post. Most of my above opinion comes from this article by the Israel defense writer
David Eshel. Link

If you have actually been over there, why don't you enlighten me in the error of my ways instead of doing the internet tough guy routine?

Well I guess it's on our shoulders again to throw puppies off of cliffs. Big responsibility, that.
