ANKARA, Turkey (Reuters) - Turkey said Friday its troops would enter northern Iraq (news - web sites) to prevent an influx of refugees across its borders, but gave no date for an incursion the United States says it opposes.

Turkey's armed forces would also enter the Iraqi Kurdish enclave to prevent "terrorist activity," Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul told reporters at a news conference.



When our allies the Turks and our allies the Kurds sstrt shooting at each other, who's side do you think we'll take? It's hard to say. After all, one of the reasons were in Iraq is because of Sadams shameful murder of the Kurds. On the other hand, Turkey came across with the air space.

My guess? Kiss the Kurds goodbye. They don't have a stte, and stateless people get the fuzzy end of the lollypop.
