COMMENTS: Eye in the Sky
From the Pentagon, CBS' David Martin offered an Exclusive on a scheme to forestall Turkey's full scale invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan. Martin quoted the official statement by Gen Benjamin Mixon about the extent of US military plans against Turkey's Kurdish rebels, the PKK guerrillas: "Absolutely nothing." However, to encourage Ankara to confine its cross-border incursions to air raids, artillery strikes and commando raids--instead of the 60,000-strong force being amassed along its southeastern border--the Pentagon will offer to spy on Turkey's behalf. It will deploy unmanned Predator reconnaissance drones to pinpoint PKK positions and supply targeting coordinates. Martin predicted that such a US-Turkey deal will be sealed in ten days.
