Powell: "We hope Turkey will send a division to Iraq"

“Turkey, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Germany and France [have large number of troops],” said Powell. “These militaries are not as large as ours, with the exception of working with countries like the Turks, Indians, and Pakistanis with a large standing manpower, manpower-intensive forces, meaning lots of infantry. What you need are infantry most and similar ground units, MPs, civil affairs, folks like that.” Speaking about “dividing [Iraq] into zones,” Powell added, “We hope that the Turks will come in with a division if they can pull it off.”
