Knowing all too well that the new Islamist Government in Ankara is shifting the grounds inside the modernist Kemalist Republic, Iraq’s Kurdish leadership mustn’t offer any reason for a Turkish adventure in their areas. Hence, it is recommended that the Kurdish leaders of Iraq be the ones to reign in the PKK to avoid having the Turkish Army crossing the borders.

Who is b.s.'ing here? In any event, isn't it pretty clear that PKK has been provoking the Turks the past few days as opposed to the other way around, right?

So, they're there, instigating trouble. They are reportedly hiring Shia around Basra for $500, a week or month, whatever. If Masood is recruiting anybody, it would probably be in Iran. I kinda' remember something about a Kurdish separatist group in Iran, but I'm not positive. I'll google it later. The move by Congress to declare actions by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 to have been genocide has modern day Turkey in a tizzy. FSM Contributing Editor Tom Ordeman, Jr. explains why this proposed censuring of allies is fool...
