"Kurd villages" in lieu of "PKK terrorist enclaves"?

Nice.

Since the PKK is almost universally listed as a terrorist organisation and is looking to unite various parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria into a new ethnic "Marxist-Leninist" state using violence against civilian and military targets I'd like to see the U.S. back Turkey even further.

That's how I feel about it.

"Iraqi officials say bombs hit 10 villages, killing one woman, while the PKK reported seven deaths."

That's what the news say.

The US is actually not backing the Turks on this.

"But Iraq and the US have urged Turkey not to carry out its threat."


I agree that the PKK are terrorists, but I was more interested in how you people feel about Turkey invading US controlled airspace and killing people without permission. But if you're actually ok with that then I expect we will see a lot more of it in the future.

So you are saying you're ok with the PKK doing the same thing within the borders of Turkey?

Ankara toughened its line against the PKK after a spate of rebel attacks inside Turkey that prompted widespread calls for action.

In October, Turkey's parliament voted to allow the military to launch operations into Iraq to combat the PKK, which had stepped up attacks in Turkey.

I like Turkey cause they make yummy döners. In fact I think we need more Turks here in portland so I can buy yummy döners and not eat mickyds crap.

If Saddam and the Turks and most anyone else dont like Kurds much there must be a good reason, Maybe they smell bad. Or perhaps are inconsiderate and block the drive thru lane for 5 minutes because they are stupid? I dont like kurds very much either.

If it weren't for the fact that some brave Norwegians  (you obviously excluded) were out fighting Islamic fascists, I might mention the lack of Norwegian military efforts in the past.

Yes.  

Then again, Turkey would not allow the US to use Turkish bases or to send troops through Turkey in the initial invasion of Iraq.  It wouldn't surprise me if the US has been pursuing the northern terrorists, shall we say, "less vigorously" than they could as a consequence.  Kind of a "you didn't help us, why should we go out of our way to help you" situation.

That being said, I doubt the US would go out of their way to stop the Turks, either.

Why would I have a problem with Turkey attacking a terrorist group?  Explain to me the "downside" of this action.

Are you trying to suggest that the U.S. should be "outraged" that Turkey was "in our airspace"?

What makes you think we didn't let them?  Who's to say we didn't have a hand in the planning of this operation?  (at least w/ some intelligence support)

No, I have no problem with terrorists being killed.
