Iraq and Afghanistan

Reuters has an analysis piece comparing the end of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan to the current NATO state.

(CNN) Turkey's ambassador to the United States makes sure everyone knows the US is helping the Turks in their attacks.

(ABC) The Kurds say the peshmerga will "defend civilians" against the Turks.

(Reuters) Saudis make up 41% of foreign fighters in Iraq.

(AP) The Defense Department's quarterly Iraq progress report says the Iraqi forces are pitiful. ("A key problem, it said, is Iraqis' "inability to adequately forecast life-support requirements and to promptly take action" as contracts expire.")
