I'm a person of few words and sometimes type that way. My point was that the "Turkish" thing is being over emphasized. The Turks have 50k troops at the border. They can head south and a lite US force can come behind them and secure the area so the Kurds would be protected from the Turks. The Turks would have a North/South lifeline and the US would be a buffer to the Kurds to the East. A mutual "stand-off" if you will.

I was responding to this particular speculation:

A WAG would be a thrust south by Turkish forces with American forces behind them to protect the Kurds positions in the area. The Turks would advance on Baghdad while the US forces would move in behind to protect Kurd interests.

Your followup comment does not appear to modify or elaborate on that in such a manner as to alter the points made in my response.
