What to do?

Yesterday, Turkey crossed the border into Iraq.

With more than 100,000 troops and as many as 4 divisions of armor massed within 2 km of the frontier, I'd say the Turks showed amazing restraint by sending only a brigade-sized contingent into Iraq to pursue and attack the 30+ PKK terrorists they say they saw.

The Iraqi government and Condi have denounced the action as counter-productive to Coalition efforts in the country... but Ankara isn't listening. They want the PKK stopped at all costs, and don't seem to think the US or Iraq is taking them seriously.

Of the 788 articles that I scanned over (mostly headlines... I'm not THAT good of a reader!), no where did I see a proposed alternative plan that would give the Turks the level of security they need and allow Iraq to remain un-molested by its most powerful (conventionally speaking) neighbor.

Prior to my radio being stolen, I had been listening to the BBC (or CBC, can't remember) and they had been interviewing a former US Ambassador to the UN (can't recall his name, but he was part of the Bush 41 administration) who was WILDLY critical of Condi and her performance to date as SoS. Is this going to be another example of "the wrong man for the job"? Will Bush Jr. simply leave her in place as his administration winds down to insignificance over the next 12 months?
