Will the Turks invade Iraq?

Question

Turkey has made noises about going into Iraq to deal with Kurdish rebels....insurgence! The US is opposed. I suppose it's okay if we do it, but not if they do it. Wow...who 'da thunk it?

Answer 1

Nope. They might fund rebels, but they would be too afraid of irritating the U. S. directly.

Answer 2

The prospect of an independent Kurdistan has always been a thorn in the side of the Turks. I do not think that they have any problem with Iraq as a whole, but there has been an ongoing war with Turkey and the Kurds for decades. Under these circumstances the international community should not expect Turkey to remain within their national boundaries. They have far more reason for being in Northern Iraq than any Americans. At least their invasion would be a genuine move in the interests of their national security.

Answer 3

I just read about the increased tension in the region this morning. It looks like it might be possible especially if something else happens. They have the authority. The US has been asking them not to do anything, but I'm sure if they keep getting screwed with they will. Israel essentially did the same thing not too long ago.

Answer 4

No way!!! the Kurds and Turks have been duking it out with border skirmishes for many years..it will go on for many more

Answer 5

You are so right! These guys have hated each other sense time began. I would move aside and let them battle it out. Maybe there feel better!! LOL

Answer 6

Well if they have USA's and E.U.'s support I think they will go for it. But if they don't support them I think they won't do it.

Answer 7

never

Answer 8

NO!
