I just saw on Good Morning America that Turkey will allow ground troops, however according to their newspaper, it was because they had no other choice. Their leader, referred to the U.S.' request as a demand, which sounds as if his decision to allow troops to come in was forced. His appearance didn't appear especially supportive of the decision.

What's the board's feelings?

Turkey's leader just had two tough decisions given to him, and he picked what he considered to be the lesser evil.

Turkey. hmmmmmmm?

Is that the other country that oppresses kurds and is going to help the U.S. invade Iraq, under the reasoning of Iraq being a country ruled by a dictator that also oppresses the kurds in his country?
