Kurdish Issue Will Explode in Bush’s Face

This is an extremely dangerous situation.

Bush is not just losing the war in Iraq, he is getting our collective ass kicked and the start of WWIII is a bigger possibility than it has ever been, including the Cuban missile.

Kurdish Issue Will Explode in Bush’s Face | The Progressive:

What was the Bush Administration thinking when it invaded Iraq?

If further proof was needed that the United States opened up a can of worms with its decision, check out the coming conflict between Turkey and Kurdistan, a “sideshow” of the entire Iraq mess that has received comparatively little coverage in the U.S. media. (The New York Times’s Greek edition of its overseas counterpart, the International Herald Tribune, had a lot of focus on this subject when I visited Greece in April.)

For those not following the matter closely, the Turkish armed forces have engaged in a huge buildup on the Turkey-Iraq border to intimidate (or worse) the Iraqi Kurdish leadership into ceasing to provide haven to Turkish Kurdish guerrillas (members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or the PKK). There’s only one problem: The Iraqi Kurds are perhaps the only friends of the United States in Iraq. So now you have Turkey, a really close U.S. ally, taking them on. Could the Bush Administration have created a bigger mess?
