Iraqi interim leaders don't want Turkish peacekeepers
Iraq’s interim leaders told the US today they do not want peacekeepers from Turkey or other neighbouring countries but were willing to soften their opposition to avoid a confrontation with Washington.
The Turkish parliament’s decision to authorise the sending of Turkish peacekeepers to join the coalition was applauded in Washington, which is anxious to bring in more troops to ease the burden on the 130,000 American soldiers.
