Well it appears we have possibly a similar deception operation going on now. This U.S. "spat" with Turkey is, I believe, engineered to throw the Iraqis off guard. In fact, Iraqi troops have already started moving south, perhaps convinced that no imminent attack will come from the Turkish border anytime soon.
Well, that's my semi-educated guess.
