10,000 Turkish troops enter Iraq - World - smh.com.au: "TURKEY has sent up to 10,000 troops into northern Iraq to hunt down Kurdish guerillas, despite earlier warnings from the United States against such a ground offensive.
'A land operation is a whole new level,' a US deputy assistant Secretary of State, Matthew Bryza, said in Brussels yesterday.
In October, shortly before Turkey's parliament approved such a cross-border offensive, the US President, George Bush, said: 'We are making it very clear to Turkey that we don't think it is in their interest to send troops into Iraq.'"
