This is very good news indeed.
I hope we don't give the Turks a freakin' thing.
No matter what anyone thinks about the Kurds, or some of the communists and/or terrorists in their number, they have gotten a raw deal from the 'world community' (barf) for the last 80 years. They deserve freedom.

Welcome aboard Kurds...
Im sure they read the news from Bagdad when the Northern Alliance virtually walked into Kabul thanks to the US. They want to be on the winning side no doubt.

Good.
What this says is that the Kurds will not attack the Turks when they come on by.
One thing not mentioned here is the US commitment voiced by Khalilzad to hunt down terrorists in northern Irak.
The other thing not mentioned here is that the Turkmen were part of this meeting, and that tomorrow will bring a meeting which will cover even more ground. Khalilzad's statement on the Turkmen was that they will be involved in every level of post war Irak.
These were two things we needed. Tomorrow's parliamentary vote should be in the bag, barring any unforeseen curveballs a la US DoS.
