People need to listen to Bush. I know it's a completely new concept that an American President means what he says, but woe unto them who don't believe him.

In his speech on Wednesday and in the Saturday radio address, Bush was adamant when he said that he would preserve the territorial integrity of Iraq. This was a message to both the Turks and the Kurds.

Watch the speech again, and note the body-language emphasis he placed on this statement.

The "territorial integrity of Iraq" can mean many things to many people... which is likely the reason he used that phrasing.

When we attack from the South, what are the changes that Turkey invades from the north without US troop interference and simply takes northern Iraq by conquest? Would we use force to eject the? The Turks will then control the northern oil centers and not as likely to be interested in our foreign aid.

I don't know why we don't let the Kurds form their own country; if we don't, and if we occupy Iraq for several years, then instead of the Kurds fighting Saddam Hussein, they will be fighting us. Do we want or need that?
