The Other War In Iraq
By green-lighting Turkey's invasion of Iraq, the U.S. is alienating the Kurds, one of the few groups in Iraq who still view(ed) us as
allies. Ken Silverstein has an e-mail from a former U.S. official who works in northern Iraq:
The
United States is being skillfully handled by the Turks, who are
dragging the U.S. into a policy disaster in Kurdistan. The Kurds have
moved a lot of fighters and equipment quietly into the area, and are
prepared to strike the Turks. Massoud [Barzani, the Iraqi Kurdish
leader] has issued all the press comments he can to publicly warn that
Kurdish patience is gone. The United States is either ignoring the
signals or missing them…The Kurds can and will bloody the Turks badly
in a fight.
And the beat goes on.
