Turkish Troops Enter Iraq

Nobody could have predicted:

Turkish troops have launched a ground incursion across the border into northern Iraq in pursuit of separatist Kurdish rebels, the military said Friday, an action that dramatically escalates Turkey's conflict with the militants.

"The Turkish Armed Forces, which values Iraq's territorial integrity and its stability, will return as soon as planned goals are achieved," the military said. "The executed operation will prevent the region from being a permanent and safe base for the terrorists and will contribute to Iraq's stability and internal peace."

That quote is pretty sweet. Right out of the Bush playbook.
