Looks like the Turks might roll out a “new product” just before an election. Way go show ’em the way, there, Commander Guy! AP:

Sinan Ogan, head of the Turkish Center for International Relations and Strategic Analysis, said one option was a limited air force operation, which would help the government deal with domestic demand for action. If ground forces do go in, he said, the military would want them to stay for at least six months to assess the impact of the mission.

“An operation before the elections will bring the ruling government more votes so they might be willing to allow such an operation,” he said. “A clash with several soldiers getting killed or a bombing at an important spot might be the spark for a military operation.”

And, best of all, it’s only going to take the Turks one Friedman Unit to get the job done and get out!

Good luck with that.

I’m sure the facts and the intelligence are being fixed around the policy even as we speak…
