CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Iraq is likely happy with the move made by its northern neighbor. Turkey is not putting out a welcome mat for U.S. ground troops, but the United States isn't giving up just yet. So, we take you now to Ankara, Turkey and CNN's Jane Arraf, where a new measure could be put through parliament.</s>JANE ARRAF, CNN BAGHDAD BUREAU CHIEF: Carol, there's intense debate going on today in the streets here, where we are, as well as in the halls of government. Now, the prime minister is holding consultations with the cabinet to decide whether it will indeed ask parliament again. It doesn't want the 62,000 U.S. troops here. Now, as you know, the vote was heartbreakingly close; just three votes away from saying yes to the troops. A lot of people here in the streets are saying they're very happy that their government sent that message to the United States. But this Monday morning, a lot of people are thinking about that weekend decision again, and they're really quite afraid that this could have severe economic consequences. The currency has dropped somewhat, the stock market has plunged, and Turkey's prime minister has told the country and financial officials that they should remain calm, that the country was going to do fine with or without the United States -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: Jane Arraf updating us live from Ankara, Turkey this morning.
