Turkish Troops Said To Invade Iraq Near Mosul
CNN Turkey, citing security forces officials, is reporting what appears to be yet another escalation in the middle east maelstrom:
- *TURKISH TROOPS ENTER MOSUL REGION IN IRAQ, CNN-TURK REPORTS
- *ABOUT 1,200 TURKISH TROOPS IN BASHIQA NEAR MOSUL: CNN-TURK
As Bloomberg reportrs, about 1,200 Turkish soldiers have entered the Bashiqa region near the Islamic State-held Iraqi city of Mosul, CNN-Turk reports citing Turkish security forces.
- Anti-Islamic State coalition members were informed of the move, Sabah newspaper reports
The number has now been "revised":

Of course the fact that Turkey has invaded Iraq isn't the curious thing here. After all, Turkey technically invaded Iraq on September 8 and has launched ground incursions across the border on a handful of occasions over the past two decades or so. There was "Operation Sun" in 2008. And then there was "Operation Steel" in 1995. And "Operation Hammer" in 1997." And "Operation Dawn." And the aplty named "Operation Northern Iraq."
You get the idea. The question is this: what are they doing near Mosul, an ISIS stronghold?
Here are some hints from Stratfor:
Turkish troops reportedly entered Iraqi territory on Dec. 3, allegedly arriving at the Al Shikhan militia camp to help forces retake Mosul from the Islamic State, according to sources in the National Crowd for Liberating Ninevah militia and an anonymous peshmerga official, Aena News and Shafaq News reported Dec. 4. Ninevah Gov. Nawfal Humadi and Ninevah Operations Command leader Maj. Gen. Najim al-Jubouri denied the report, as did the Kurdistan Democratic Party. The anonymous peshmerga source said that the Turkish force is composed of three regiments armed with heavy weapons and that it will assist the fighters of the National Crowd for Liberating Ninevah, an umbrella group of militias, to combat the Islamic State. The Al Shikhan base camp, also known as Nargizliya Camp, is located on the border of Dahuk and Ninevah provinces and has to date trained 3,500 fighters. The report also suggested that an assault on Mosul would occur soon. Given the surprisingly sparse media reports about the supposed deployment of such a large force, Stratfor believes that this information should be taken with a note of caution. The presence of Turkish forces could be a mischaracterization of an expansion of Ankara's footprint in training the National Crowd for Liberating Ninevah rather than an actual deployment of large Turkish units for a mission to retake Mosul. If some element of this report is true, however, this would be a very notable development and a sizable increase in Turkey's commitment to the conflict in Iraq. The addition of three Turkish combat regiments could upend the balance in what has been a largely stagnant front. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Dec. 3 that he would reject any foreign ground troops in the fight against the Islamic State, calling any such incursion a violation of sovereignty that would be dealt with accordingly. Iraqi security forces have been working to isolate Islamic State-held Mosul by cutting lines of communication and directing airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition.
So suddenly, just as the world is scrutinizing Turkey's role in the Islamic State oil trade, Ankara decides to send anti-ISIS troops to Iraq? Are they trying to secure the crude trade and guard the trafficking routes?
This should be interesting.

No doubt to secure "their" oil fields
MOTHERFUCKERS...
Turkey is run by complete fucking idiots.
This is how you give Iraq over to Russia and hence to Iran.
Russia can bring in more troops with Iraqi cooperation than Turkey can shove across the border (or even has).
Erdogan wants to kill a bunch of Kurds.
No ISIS-crazies will be hurt in the process.
Looney

Out with the ISIS, in with the... Same guys, but a new name? May I suggest "Moderate Islamic Rebels"?

This is impossible! Turkey is very sensitive to matters of sovereignty.
Turkey will asisst with the Yinon Plan, only to find that it too will be thrown under the bus at the right time.
With all the war on the horizon, Obama will have to serve another term - ahahahahahah
Really looking forward to a little roasted Turkey this Christmas...
How about a page from Obama, "Rebels with uncertain motives"?
Wrong.
Most of the Turkish army is based in the eastern provinces.
Russia would have to go thru' them to deploy troops in quantity in Iraq.
39 days from Franz Joseph to the start of WWI, ten days since the Turks shot down the su-24.
Just saying, you have a little prep time left.
Not to mention that if the Turks are entering to hit the Kurds, why would the Sunni rulers
give two shits?
Iran also has a Kurdish problem, so no transit that way either across the Caspian.
The plan is rolling out with precision timing and execution
WWIII
This WW3 that keeps being tossed about and susposedly already started is a strange one. It is a war where one side never attacks or shoots back. NATO has never been fired upon by Russia. Russia never moves into a NATO country.
What about the Russian bomber SU-24, that was shot down by a missile from a fighter NATO F-16?
Let the drafting begin... Them unemployed youngen's need some work.
The economic situation is getting worse. Therefore, the United States really need a war between Turkey and Russia. Or between Russia and Germany.
That is, the United States needed a war between Russia and NATO, as much as possible away from the US border. Three years ago, many American economists openly wrote and spoke about the necessity of a new "good war", to rescue the US economy.
Let's see...we have been having wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. Economy is not improving in the slightest. With the amount of debt now, US economy is beyond help.
Today's wars take a slightly different game. Whoever wins the information war will eventually rule. The truth bombs could destroy nations.
The US economy can be improved only by a war in which the United States did not participate until the moment when United States have ability to take the profits of the war.
For example: the United States waited on the sidelines and did not enter the war against Hitler until the moment when it became clear that Hitler's troops lost the war.
Up to this point, the United States did not participate in the war, but the gold accumulated by trading with Stalin and Hitler at the same time.
GOATFUCKERS...
Them and Harry Reid.
You're going to have to be a lot more specific there...
I thought they were into shagging SHEEPLE. Sheeple-style.
I.e. "You give us your labor, money and fighting-age sons, or we screw you over real bad!"
Mission to destroy evidence of complicity.
aw shucks, it's a 'pincer movement'...going to Baghdad and back into Syria thru the rear door
...or Erdogan has been reading up on Suleiman the Magnificent
Gotta keep dat oil flowing boss......
http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2015/12/road-to-ww3-time-to...
If Iraq defends its borders, do we get to invade Iraq for a 3rd time to defend our NATO fuckwad?
This invasion serves three purposes: Steal oil, kill Kurds, and provide human shields for Turkey's ISIS allies.
The American public is going to force the US to hit ISIS hard after San Bernardino, and Turkey needs to provide a safe place to protect them before that happens.
Jethro! Where the hell have you been? Shaving?
BTW, those oilfields aren't "their" oilfields; they're mine!
If you are in NATO you hva e license to kill, invade and trade with terrorist that wh turd-key joined.
ok. The Turkeys now go direct to protect oil smuggling. And create an appearance of cooperation.
However as member of NATO and per the Russian promise to share it's strategy and targets? NATO (Turkeys) have advance warning of Russia (invited into Syria) bombing paths etc. And Russian commitment to not intersect with coalition anti-terrorists forces.
Gotta love this bullshite.
I also have to wonder regarding the UK and German forces. RUSSIA promised to forewarn of activity in order to avoid any conceiveable damage to "coalition forces". So now everyone is on the bandwagon and likely protecting the illegal oil smuggling/ arms supply routes that have been exposed.
Bullshite.
So, when did it become legal for a country to simply let its military walk into another country and start taking over??
So, all these years, the Red Dawn movie was a fake. Russia (and in the revision, China) have the right to just send in troops to the country. Never knew.
This is insane and Iraq should condemn this immediately and tell Turkey to leave. Give a deadline and if they are not out, tell Russia to turn hades aloose on them.....
To keep Russia from bombing their oil fields and routes. Also to give US pretense to not bomb their oil fields and routes.
Whoops sorry didn't see you there. Boom.
You looked like oil convoy.
-Putin
1200 seems fair retribution for 2 russian piolets
This is covering the loss of the hardware (Su-24 and Mi-8?). The bill for the loss of the pilot and the marine will be collected separately.
Won;t happen. Putin is not that stupid and will not provoke. UK?Germany? and now the Turkeys are converging. Putin commited to the "coalition" that Russian strategy would be forewarned and shared to prevent any confrontation. That is what got his plane targeted and destroyed. The sharing of the flight paths in advance that allowed the Turkeys to hone in a plane,
This is just sick. Now put UK/German/Turkeys on the ground to "support the fight against ISIS"?????? Give me a break.
Ok, but how will it affect my stocks?
Turkey's out of NATO...can't trust the white sand-niggers
NATO?
Invades Iraq?
Inconceivable!
Hasn't happened since the last time the U.S. did it.
Zoomed in to read the bumper sticker on that NATO tank transport...
Thats funny hedgeless
Or horrible, if you happen to live in Eurasia.
What if you happen to live in Oceania? Or Bethesda?
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Comrads!
If they've been there longer than 17 seconds, they should be bombed with impunity.
EDIT: A down arrow? Who knew Erdogan had a fucking ZH account?!
It's Zinu, the Ukie potato farmers.
He's paid to hate on Putin.
Plus, Vlad shot a load in his momma's eye.
That would be a polonium scented spunk wad.
Hey 17 seconds? NATO is not in Syria (because they never got an invite to the prom)....they are in their own playground Iraq. Russia I do not think will bomb Iraq...they have legal, sanctioned permission to support a fight against terrorism by a sovereign state,,,,Syria. AND that includes the Turkeys/Syria border.
WTF. Iraq told the US to get lost but apparently NATO treats Iraq as their own..will take some time to come up with some other illegal way to steal oil and supply arms (planning for Syria to close the Turkish border, and hence the lines of tankers going out ...and the "humanitarian aid/arms, weapons coming in.}
Bullish!!
WW111 here we come! Fools!
When is a game not a game?
When it is a foot.
When you got boots on the ground with armor.
Putin has this really wide grin on his face...
He's about to receive an invite from the Iraq gov't...
Oh Come On! Y'all didn't see this one coming???
So Iraq, unless I am really wrong, told the US to FOFF a week or so ago.. So how is this not an invasion by NATO? Illegal and provoking and so transperent to protect theft and genocide.
Go Turks! Destroy criminal putin regime oil field bussiness with ISIS aka Daesh.
Now Turkey says RUSSIA is involved in illegal oil trade with ISIS after Putin warns ‘murdering our pilots’ will be met with more than just sanctionsQuoting the British Daily Mail aka Daily Slime isn't very convincing given it's a .gov mouthpiece most of the time.
But when criminal putin regime claims about Turkey involment with ISIS - you don't have any problem with "gov mouthpiece" - why that? :D Ouuu because you are criminal putin regime paid troll :D ha ha ha
Here we go with criminal putin regime again, boy! You are not worth the money your master is paying you.
"Zinu" - one half "Zionist", one half "Nuland".
To be fair the daily mail is a pretty schizophrenic paper, sometimes posting controversial stories that others fear to mention, but then often flipping the next moment to just parrot the government line.
But Russia selling ISIS oil? Really? How do they get the crude even out of the county, do they fly it? Seriously, the only interesting thing about this statement is how it underlines how pathetic and dishonest the Turkish government is to resort to such unbelievable lies.
How? Well Russia managed to send thousands of tanks into Ukraine, invisible to US satellites, so they are quite capable of sending thousands of invisible tanker trucks into Syria, driving them along special invisible roads all the way to Russia.
After all, it is not as if Russia is 'a gas station masquerading as a country' so it needs all the gas it can get.
"Turkish government is to resort to such unbelievable lies."
I think that in the area of the absurd lies, they get advice from Jen psaki from the US State Department.
Zinu. 5 weeks 1 day
Give the guy a break. He is not up to speed in trolling quite yet. Takes more than one paycheck to build the links to "cut and paste".
BUT on a great note; ZINU likely is including somewhere in the employment stats. Service industry jobs created. Gov. jobs increase. It will take him a bit more time to catch up to the propaganda message. Pay it no mind.
Zinu previous trolling names:
Latvian troll "viedoklis_lv", "freedom123", "newsoutlet", "message", "Zinu".
Zinu - it is ukrainian electronic bot.
Abbreviations: ukra-e-bot.
Zinu is Latvian for "I know".
ZINO is German for "I know nothing, NOTHING!"
I can't wait to see Turkey's Photoshoped pictures of thousands of tanker trucks clogging the roads all the way from the ISIS controlled oil fields to Moscow.
Unbelievable.
choke on a dick.
nobody in right mind read daily mail..
much less quote...
Calm down. 130 to train locals. now being reported.
The US are there aswell
WWIII is right on schedule. Just waiting on India and the Pakis to jump in.
Popcorn futures up 6%.
Physical price is only that matter...
We warned govts fuckery would make shortage
If this is true? Get your affairs in order. It will not go unanswered.
Turkey helping Kurds retake an Iraqi City from IS? Seems totally legit.
Sounds like an opportunity for Putin to start bombing ISIS terrorist gangsters in Mosul and accidentally obliterate some Turks at the same time.
Iraq probably won't complain about that.
That's devious and funny. Effective too, I'd think.
And, technically, they wouldn't be attacking a NATO country with said "accident".
If anything, Iraq isn't going to complain about Turkey plugging a few Kurds.
Putin/Russia have stuck by International law. I very much doubt they will bomb any "provacative, low-hanging, fruit placed by NATO/Turkeys". Question now is becoming who exactly ignored and profited from the illegal oil/and arming of ISIS.
Turkey obviously. US stood by and condoned, But is looking to me that all the big dicks in the playground were lining their pockets on this for a very long time. That includes UK, Germany, US. NATO.
But my question goes back again to Goldman Sachs buying into the control of Turkey port this year. WHY did GS need to invest in controlling a Turkey port?
Time for everyone to wake the F up.
easiest link I found: https://www.porttechnology.org/news/goldman_sachs_buys_into_turkish_port
Everybody who thinks the orders to do this came from Washington, raise their hand!
1) I don't think George approves.
2) It seems that there is less and less attention being paid to what Obama wants. Various actors are starting to consult their own perceived local interests regardless of what Mr. Huff and Puff says.
3) Competency hearing. NOW. Somebody had better grab the wheel.
tarabel.
Think you need to grow out of your idea that Obama ever was in control of anything more than golf swings and charm. It matters not whom you folks elect. Freedom/democracy gasped the final US breath with JFK/RFK. And even before.
It is all an illusion meant for voters and keeping the people pacified.
I think Washington only think they control. MINIONS ( and not cuddly ones)...there is far more going on. And manipulated by far fewer hands. Washington ? UK Parliament? Minions only.
RT Claims it's only a 100+
to train Iraqis
i dunno......
Ruh - Roh. I think Obama should go there and try to make the Turkish army understand that they are only doing this because of the effects of climate change.

What's with those goofy trucks?
Jed Clampett meets Mad Max.
Lookas like a modified garbage truck with sand-bagged machinegun on top.
Just a warm-up for when they invade Syria.
Funny how there is no UN posturing like for Iraq 2.
No Coalition of the Willing.
Literally, just a gang-bang.
Cut off Iran from the Med at all costs.
Turkey has to go in and get the damning evidence from the other end of their "supply chain" before anyone else finds it.
Why facilitate black market oil if you can pretend to rightfully seize it?
Turkey has apparently been given the green light to retake the old Ottoman borders,,, maybe more.
Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria are obviously no longer considered sovereign nations. Everybody's trying to get a piece of the action. It's like watching the old movies where gangsters were dividing up Chicago.
NATO is about to fight it's Vietnam war in Turkey.
Well, it seems that to invade Syria is not a good idea... go Putin!
A message from Dutch MP to people of Turkey "You voted for Erdogan.....stay away from Europe, you are not welcome here"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5EoMdwkpgY
Amen
They want to make sure they're in on the action when the city is recaptured so they can quick burn all the paperwork for the oil they bought from ISIS.
Open season on turkeys in Iraq.
There is only one survival strategy for that region now:
a new ISIL axis - Iraq-Syria-Iran-Lebanon military alliance
GEES, CAN NATO DO THIS? Please don't panic they're looking for more oil truck drivers. Apparently, there are a few strip joints and bars where the drivers have been hanging out. Now they're having a tough time convincing the Turks to leave the bar.
Another bad day for TurkISIS truck drivers and Soros Shite Helmets.

Meanwhile Russia has been testing mobile anti-satellite missile system Nudol. The first two tests failed. The third, 18 November, was a success.

So when TSHTF, the first things to go will be US military / navigational satellites over Russia. So where are NATO going to hide their satellites? Where is the equivalent of the Persian Gulf in space? The big problem is the satellites are only useful in their current locations.
Rohrabacher is right. We need to kick Turkey out of NATO or get the USA out of it.
These troops are NOT a part on the US anti-ISIS coalition, and are stationed in full ISIS controlled territory. Obviously they bre there to SUPPORT ISIS, destroy proof of complicity, and are ripe for obliteration by the Iraqi army. Erdogan is a dangerous and duplicitous fool...the Turkish people and generals should rid the country of this mad man.
I expect Iraq soon to INVITE RUSSIA FOR A BOMBING CAMPAIGN. Surely Iraq does not love the Turks especially coming to rob their oil.
US is not protecting Iraq. US allowed ISIS to prosper in Syria and Iraq. ISIS in now way loves Bagdad.
My guess is Iraq will be formally lost to US max. in 2-3 years.
Dead turks convoying.
Is that supposed to stop the SYR/RUS/IRN/IRQ Air Forces from dropping ordnance and/or launching Cruise/Drone-based Missiles on the Oil Trucks?
They'll just drop another set of leaflets prior to the BombEX. 15 Minutes should do.
Now I believe that Erdogan is really crazy.
Turkey must be pissed off that Iraq is going to complain to the UNSC about Turkey stealing its oil and supporting ISIS
They could be US soldiers disguised like Turkish soldiers...we need to kill one of them to confirm they're indeed Turks.
The most interesting thing here would be if the French were to bomb the Mosul Turks. If Russia bombs them, Turkey will demand NATO come to their defense. But if France bombs them, then Turkey has a real problem. There are only two bridges crossing the Bosphorus Strait which divides eastern Thrace from Asia Minor.
I just got a call Mr Putin, we have these chats now and again, and when I told him what I just read here, he started shouting at the other end of the line. "Yeah Yeah Yeah" he was shouting and I could tell from the excitement in his voice and by the thudding sounds he was jumping up and down so thrilled was he. Finally he calmed down enough to speak and said "whoo hoo, I was right, I was right all along, I knew I was right - that fucking dipshit cocksucker fell for it, the cunt really is insane after all, This is fantastic, this couldn't get any better, I have that motherfuckers balls in my vice now, and I am going to enjoy squeezing them until they crack and pop like fucking ping pong balls. That cunt won't know what hit him, Sorry must dash, thanks for the great news, I have some balls to crush now and the fucking faggot nigger in the whitehouses balls are next in the vice after I have done with this fucking moron, if he has any that is. .........tra la la triddle de dee dee, you wake up in the mor.. fading as the phone goes down.
Now who was it says our leaders are smart ?
it'll be a real SHAME when their troops are MISidentified and "neutralized"
lol
