No, these guys are allied with the Turks against the group you mean, namely the marxist Leninist PKK. A terror group with strap on bombs carried by drugged out operatives, and the works. We gave these guys (PUK, KDP) roads, schoolhouses and other infrastructure, and we help guaranteeing their security from Saddam via our base in Incirlik (the Lick).

Thanks for clearing that point up for me Bud. I've always been unclear about that situation.
