Emin Colasan: When a wolf ages

That's just what was missing, some words from Talabani on this matter. Anyway, we also know we cannot enter Northern Iraq. Maybe if there's a miracle, we will carry out some sort of operation for show, but nothing more.
 
However, it also looks like we will have to just deal with comments like this from leaders like Talabani and Barzani. Our ancestors said it so well:
 
"When a wolf ages, he becomes nothing but a buffoon for the lambs!"

Just look at the situation we find ourselves in, dear readers! The Turkish Republic, which is busy burying soldiers killed by PKK violence every day these past weeks, is addressed by a few lousy leaders like Talabani and Barzani, and yet it can't even respond or react. Its hands are effectively tied.
 
Even more painful is the fact that we expect help from the puppet Iraqi regime's ambassador to Ankara, a man whose word means nothing in his own country, and who himself sits in the lap of the US.

 
Only 200 meters from our Baghdad embassy, a culture center devoted to (imprisoned PKK leader) Abdullah Ocalan has been opened up, complete with PKK flags and all. And we help prop up that clearly puppet government by sending an official note of protest about this all from Ankara.
 
There's more. We call in the US Ambassador to Ankara, making an urgent petition. But the US Ambassador is not in Turkey as an envoy, but as a commissioner of capitulation. He addresses not our Foreign Ministry, but the Turkish media directly, making statements on a number of topics. Still, not a peep out of our government. We have decided to accept this, we have been crushed. Even the Northern Iraqi Kurdish government has outdone us. As Osman Bolukbasa used to say:
 
"Aah, for those days when we used to rule, old grizzled king/But the mule has become the head of finances, and the donkey now wields the signet ring!"
