It seems to me that the Kurds are the only sane people in that entire region. Debka has always been innaccurate and should get a tagline much like the barf alerts.
Kurdistan has been relatively autonomous for about 12 years now. I wonder what internal security forces they've been quietly training within their territories. I wonder if they're working up to shutting down their borders and saying "what are you going to do about it?"
I say that we would not do anything about it but blow hot air. I do not know what the Turks would do.
