Turkey is now bombing Iraq

Is that the same as bombing us? Turkey is trying to kill the Kurds in northern Iraq, who they say have been acting as bandits on the Turkish border. Don't really know why! The Kurds are Persian, I think--or came from there long ago, anyway, and have in the long past been occupied by the Romans for hundreds of years and the Arabs once for some time.
I don't know what the Kurds want in Turkey, but a good guess would be more of the land near the border. Like Israel, they fear being overrun again.
Although the Kurds seem to have been our allies in Iraq and were one of the principle reasons we took Baghdad, due to the slaughter of many of them by Saddam, or so we said after there were no WMD in Iraq, we now are buddying with the Turks in this situation against the Kurds! Makes no sense.
Could there be a problem in dividing up the oil revenues in Iraq between us, the Kurds, the Shiites, and the Sunnis?
Someday we may get those old refineries in Iraq fixed (50 years of age) and start pumping a significant amount of oil, but just to where and who gets the cash for it?
We never needed to be there!

Bomb the Turkeys back!
Submitted by d.smith700 on Thu, 12/20/2007 - 10:18am.

The milk Kurds would bomb the Turkeys if we were to give them some planes and artillery to do it.
We kill several million Turkeys a year right here in the USA right about this time of the year! I expect they are just nercous!
I understand that we spy on the milk Kurds and tell the Turkeys where they are. Or,is it the other way around? Hard to keep up with the middle east doings!
Are the Turkeys Arabs, Kurds, or Persians? Maybe they are just Turkeys?
Why is it we don't have wars here among the Italians, English, Irish, Poles, Jews, Germans, Asians, Puerto-Ricans, South Americans, Filipinos, and Baptists?
Or, should I have been comparing the Baptists (418 brands), Methodists, Lutherans, Independent Evangelicans, Catholics, Buddhists,
Muslims (several brands), Sikhs, Buddhists (the LLama kind), and Holy Rollers?
