The kurds are our only ally in iraq.. fuck turkey.

If the Communist Kurds go to battle with the Turks, I'd allow the chips to fall where they may and pop some corn.

Neither need be in Iraq...period, paragraph and end of story.

You need to be careful about the f-word here. I never hit the abuse button but I'll bet dollars to donuts that comment get pulled in the next 5 minutes.

Yeah but we don't need to get too hyped yet. At this point it is diplomat work not military work.

"The kurds are our only ally in iraq.. fuck turkey."

The Kurds and the PKK are not the same animal. The Kurds are caught in the middle between a moderate ME country (Turkey) and the Communist PKK. Which is precisely the way the PKK wants it (because it confuses nationalistic Kurds as to who the real enemy is). That's how the Communists operate. They sieze on pre-existing tensions and opportunistically fan them into flames. Israel understands the PKK's game plan. That's why they back Turkey's campaign to irradicate the PKK (recent tensions over the Iraq war notwithstanding).
