Even the Turkmen are now being called the enemy. US is now attacking the town of Talafar in northern Iraq - because even the north of Iraq has become fertile ground for insurgency. Last Friday (and little reported in the US) is this from Turkey as reported by the BBC:
Quote:
On Friday Turkey's foreign ministry urged the US to halt the offensive.
"What is being done there is harming the civilian population, that it is wrong," Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said on Monday.
He added that if the operation continues in Talafar, "Turkey's cooperation on issues regarding Iraq will come to a total stop".

So why attack the Turkmen? Just another example of how things in Iraq are slowly moving just as VietNam some 30+ years ago when the United States also attacked a sovereign nation for no good or honest reason.
