I remember hearing yesterday that the US asked the Kurds to withdraw from Kirkuk.....correct?

That's what I remember. The Turks were threatening to send in Army observers. Colin got on the phone to Ankara.

I heard about the "observers." Not about Colin's call. What, exactly, were the "observers" for/going to do???? I never got the jist of that move.
