This after the U.S. was informed and signed off on it?
Hey, if you don't like it, Gates, send troops to push Turkey out!
"Defense Secretary Robert Gates has a message for Turkish leaders: Get your troops out of northern Iraq in the next few days.
The arrogance is astonishing, even for one like me who has waded in this shit for the last five years!!!!
Gates said before heading to Ankara late Wednesday from India:
''It's very important that the Turks make this operation as short as possible and then leave. They have to be mindful of Iraqi sovereignty. I measure quick in terms of days, a week or two, something like that, not months (AP).''
Iraqi sovereignty?
Oh, so WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN INVADE PLACES, huh?
The United States and Iz-ray-HELL, right? And telling the Turks to leave?
Believe me, I have no love for those who commit genocide, but I'm beginning to understand Kurdish "paranoia."
"... Ahmad Danes, said the rebel group felt betrayed by the United States..."
What again?
Figures you guys would have learned after '75 when we abandoned you then.
Were gonna do it in 1991, too, but Israel wanted bases against Iran there so the Kurd's plight was in the papers.
Much less Saddam's slaughter of Shiites in the south after Schwarzkopf allowed him to use the helicopters.
See what happens when you work with Israelis.
By the way, how long we been there after this aggression against a sovereign state?
YEARS with NO END in SIGHT because asshole Gates and his boss WANT NO END to the OCCUPATION!!?
Any wonder why I despise my lying, law-breaking, mass-murdering government, world?!
I'm an American and I am fed up!!!!!!!!!!
See if you can eat some more, readers:
"In other comments just before leading New Delhi, Gates said the U.S. is in the ''early stages'' of discussions with India on a missile defense system and is taking about doing a joint analysis to determine what India's needs will be and how the two countries can cooperate.
Pffffft!!
Yup, let's shield the whole planet against a non-existent threat so we can achieve world domination!
And you wonder why Russia feels threatened.
The Indians just signed a pipeline and gas deal with Iran, so why would they have to worry about them?
Pakistan, you say? Keep reading.
Gates also said the Indian government needs to move quickly to approve a landmark nuclear cooperation pact between India and the United States. ''The clock is ticking in terms of how much time is available to get all the different aspects of this agreement implemented,'' he told reporters....
Talks between the two countries have stalled on the nuclear deal, which would allow the U.S. to send nuclear fuel and technology to India. The agreement would reverse decades of U.S. anti-proliferation policy with a country that has tested nuclear weapons and refused to sign nonproliferation treaties."Oh, yeah, FRIENDLY countries like Pakistan that MOVED NUKE TECHNOLOGY all over the world and DIDN'T SIGN the NPT and HAS A BOMB?
Or like Israel, which STOLE the KNOWLEDGE for their BOMB from the United States, and still refuses to acknowledge a nuclear weapons program, nor will they let UN inspectors into their sites.
And then there is Iran, which wants the technology for POWER -- their LEGAL RIGHT seeing as Iran HAS SIGNED the NPT!!!
That last paragraph was the final one in the article.
Funny how the points I just made do not raise hackles at that shit bag paper the New York Times!
More, as Ghandi is crying in his grave.
As a non-violent peace person, I am disgusted by this next bit of information.
".... India looks to modernize its arsenal and embarks on an unprecedented — and still contentious — level of defense cooperation with the United States..... India has emerged as one of the world’s most thriving arms markets.
During two days of meetings with Indian officials, Mr. Gates pressed the case of American defense firms vying for multi-billion-dollar contracts with the Indian government, including a coveted $10 billion fighter jet deal.
But beyond the economic benefits of Indian military modernization, American officials believe that India could be an important stabilizing force in Asia and a critical counterweight to China’s regional ambitions.
On Wednesday, Mr. Gates denied that the Bush administration’s strengthening ties to India and other Asian nations was designed specifically with China in mind.
But Pentagon officials said that, during Mr. Gates’ meetings with Indian officials, more time was spent discussing China than Pakistan, India’s longtime rival....
So this missile shield must be for China, huh?
WWIII on the way!
Mr. Gates said that, given China’s military ambitions, it was essential to cement security relationships with other powers in Asia “not in an aggressive sense, but certainly as a hedge.”
And WHAT OF OURS, asshole?
WHO has China INVADED RECENTLY, other than Tibet nearly 50 years ago??
Not that I like China's government or anything.
What I've found out, much to my displeasure, is that GOVERNMENTS and NEWS ORGANIZATIONS LIE to US 24/7 from the moment of birth!
India’s budget for weapons purchases could grow to as much as $40 billion over the next several years.... Lockheed and Boeing are among the companies competing for a $10 billion contract to supply India with 126 fighter jets.
Shame on you, India, while your population suffers such poverty!!!
India has also insisted on high-technology transfer, which would have been unimaginable even a decade ago, when Cold War-era mutual distrust lingered. India traditionally relied on Russia for its defense hardware. In recent years, Israel has become a more important partner, and now the United States....
No wonder the Indian government is turning to shit!!!!
Clock is ticking?
On what?
BEWARE the CIA/Mossad FALSE-FLAG OPERATION, world!!!
