With Us Or No?

The AP is reporting that Turkey, which some had already credited with operating troops within northern Iraq, is now publicly distancing itself from the US planned attack:

Instead of military force, Ugur Ziyal, undersecretary in the Turkish ministry of foreign affairs, suggested the United States apply what he called "therapy" to Iraq.

He offered as an example trying to tighten trade sanctions designed to force Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to abandon weapons programs.

Wasn’t turkey four square against sanctions of any kind, even a few mere months ago. What, are the great sufferings of the Iraqi people somehow no longer a pressing concern? Yeah man, therapy will work just great...
