After destroying four al-Samoud 2 missiles on Saturday and six more on Sunday, Iraqi workers crushed another six today as Saddam Hussein seems to be stepping up his good-faith efforts. But President Bush still insists Baghdad isn't doing enough, continuing the build-up of military force in the region, now numbering 230,000 U.S. and British troops.
However, many of these troops are now hanging in limbo after Turkey's surprise parliament vote Saturday nixed plans to use that country as a northern front. And it seems previous hints that Turkey might put the measure to a new vote as early as Tuesday have fallen by the wayside.
With such a big monkey wrench thrown into the works, do you think the U.S. should increase its economic aid offer to Turkey in an effort to change its mind?
