I am tired of all the bad news coming out of Iraq so I am only going to concentrate on the good things!
Not all are suffering in Iraq. Some groups are having a hey day, of sorts. The PKK, Kurdistan Workers party is having fun attempting to carve off part of Turkey and Iraq, and form an independent state of Kurdistan. Of course Turkey has sworn to go to war to stop them, but they probably wont. Who would be stupid enough to take action in Iraq?
Dozens were killed today in a cross border attack launched by the PKK into Turkey. I wonder what we would do if such a strike were launched at America and twelve US soldiers died? Hmmm? We'd probably calmly sort it all out...NOT! Yet this is what we are asking the Turks to do. Stay calm you Turkish people. Don't go off half cocked; that is America's job. If anyone is going to launch a military strike it will be US!
Perhaps we should talk to the Cambodians...er I mean the Turks...and explain that we do not want the Vietnam war...er the Iraq war...to spread into their nation since it might make the Khmer Rouge...I mean Islamic radicals...take power. Thus setting the stage for further Southeast Asian...sorry...Middleastern destabilisation and war.
Or maybe Nixon...sorry again...Bush will authorize bombing of Cambodian...er Turkish.. Villages in a lame attempt to squash the PKK?
So there is all the happy news from the "stable and safe" northern section of Iraq. At least there is no Bin Laden types up there. Only communists.
