Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, has promised "effective" action against Kurdish rebels launching attacks on Turkey from Iraq, calling them a "common enemy".
Her comments came before she landed in Turkey on Friday to discuss Ankara's strategy against Kurdish separatists in northern Iraq.
Condoleezza Rice is in Ankara today, no doubt making even more promises that the US has no intention of keeping.
'Low expectations'
Of course, promise the world and....well sorry guys, forgot to get the official ok....Your miles from Ankara right ?
Me?
I'm in Ankara.
Sorry about that, for some reason I thought you were up north around Istanbul. Must have left my brain in bed this morning.
Man, I wish I was. Istanbul is magnificent.
Ankara... not so much.
I loved Istanbul ! I only saw Ankara and İzmir for a short time back around 1986 when we had a contract with the Ministry of Post and Telegraph for a Satellite/radio link connecting the three cities. Of course me with my love of water, I think I must have 100 photo's of the ferries ! That is one place I would love to go back and actually have time to play. In my working days, it was 99% work and very little play time.
Yeah, Istanbul is magical.
Izmir is cool too...sort of a cross between Miami and San Francisco.
But alas, I'm stuck in Ankara for now...
