Turkey Must Withdraw “within 24 hours”: Iraq National Security Council

http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/turkey-must-withdraw-within-24-hours-iraq-national-security-council/


In the last 24 hours, Turkey has stated it will deploy up to 2000 troops in Iraq, up from a few hundred. They claim they were legally asked by the Kurdish Regional Government to help in the fight against ISIS. Baghdad claims they are the only sole legitimate government in Iraq.

and this last one is disturbing
In recent weeks, Shi’ite militias have also vowed to fight against US troops in Iraq if were to be deployed there.

source is definitely biased so take it with a grain of salt

but just another addition

Pearl Harbor
a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, in the United States Territory of Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II.

I hope we can learn from our mistakes
