greenwald: terrorist lover

* AP:
"Turkish officials signaled Tuesday they are prepared to send the army into northern
Iraq if U.S. and Iraqi forces do not take steps to combat Turkish Kurdish guerrillas there — a move that could put Turkey on a collision course with the United States.
[]
Turkey is facing increasing domestic pressure to act after 15 soldiers, police and guards were killed fighting the guerrillas in southeastern Turkey in the past week.
[]
Any operation was unlikely before the end of August, when the current military chief of staff is replaced by an officer widely regarded as a hard-liner, NTV said."
jeebus. (i wonder what israel would do if 15 soldiers were killed.)

* Teh editors:
"Greenwald is “illiterature”, a moron, a liar; he is a douche, the uberdouche, the biggest douche in the blogosphere, the Babe Ruth/Bill Gates of douches; he is McCarthy, befuddled and/or manipulative, more than a bit of a fascist, intellectually and morally bankrupt, an absolute disgrace, gay (tee-hee!) and therefore insane; and, of course, a terrorist lover."

I'd suggest it might have something to do with the fact that she's a war correspondent, but that can't be it 'cause there's no war going on in Lebanon...

(The woman's got more guts than the entire WH+DoD combined...)

Hard to figure, but they've had at least 25 troops killed trying to get back their 3 lost sheep, so far.

I'm sure it makes sense in someone's twisted version of reality but I'm having problems wrapping my brain around it.
