Well, things have not been going terribly well with the planning. For weeks now Turkey's President Erdogan has been accusing the U.S. forces of procrastinating about setting up the corridor. To cut a story, RT is reporting this morning:
"Turkish troops & armored vehicles amass at Syrian border after Erdogan announces IMMINENT incursion (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)"
As to what the U.S. thinks of Erdogan's impatience -- from an October 4 AP report:
Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Sean Robertson said any "uncoordinated military operations by Turkey would be of grave concern as it would undermine our shared interest of a secure northeast Syria and the enduring defeat of" the Islamic State group.
Will Erdogan ignore the grave concern? We'll soon find out.
