You really need to be better informed the Turkish Army did not make a grandiose move and invade Iraq. the Turkish army was just chasing Kurdish guerrillas and pursued them back across the boarder be cause the guerrillas were in Turkey. As for being a regional conflict... it's already a regional conflict because Syria & Iran are arming and suppling troops to Al Quida..Everyone else is doing nothing We can debate the fact that you believe Bush started this, I blame Saddam and Al Quida.

In this particular case it is the US that has been keeping the Turks from entering northern Iraq since many years, 'cause they wanted badly to destroy Kurdish bases over there, Where they "put their finger" is that the Us wants a Kurdish state in northern Iraq which the Turks don't, fearing that Kurds will claim the turkish Kurdistan ti incorporate it to the Iraqi Kurdistan. The thing is that the US were trying to pull both puppets' strings to keep both satisfied but it seems impossible....

How does Turkish troops invading Iraq fall back to being Bush's fault? I would think the Turkish troops or the Turkish government would be responsible before Bush would be.

No, Turkish troops have been battling Kurdish sepratists in thier own country for a long time. In addition, Turkey has made incursions into Iraq before, well before the current war started.

The Libyan is already over. confident, Nato took over immediately so it became the conflict that became won in each week and the Iraq conflict has been occurring purely approximately a decade. approximately seventy 5% of people criticize the Bush conflict in Iraq and yet, the republicans are whining with regard to the fee of the humanitarian intervention in Libya.

Don't think Bush has done much at all. The Kurds have been conducting terrorist attacks in Turkey and they have not been all that supportive of us so why should we care. The Iraqis don't have much use for the Kurds and vice versa. Don't see how you can blame Bush for any of that other than a deep desire to feel bad and blame someone.

Provide a link for this one, I haven't heard anything about Turkey invading. All I knew was that they were getting pissed off about Kurdish terrorists.
Ah, thank you for the link. Well, the kurd seperatists have been fighting Turkey for a while, but from what I've just been reading special forces have already been in there(so good, they got caught instantly!) But it is Turkeys right to defend against terrorists, so good for them.

I hadn't heard about the Turkish troops. Regardless of that though, yes, Mr. Bush has caused a regional conflict. He was warned by Powell, "Mr. President if you attack Iraq you will be opening the gates of hell", but he didn't care, it was his little war and he wanted it like a child wants a Tickle Me Elmo doll. Fine. Congratulations to everyone who voted for him. Pathetic idiots.

Do you blame Bush for your car not staring too? At what point does something become Bush's fault?
I'm not a Republican, i'm a Democrat. Just wondering as it seems like every other post here is someone blaming Bush for something he had no control over.

The actions of this moronic president will have far reaching consequences leading to destabilization and further conflicts.
This is one of the early examples.
