Turkey Disobeys Uncle Sam

Turkey launches large-scale attack on Kurdish militants

"ANKARA, June 6 (RIA Novosti) - The Turkish army is conducting the largest military operation against Kurdish separatists in the south-east of the country in the past few years, local media reported Wednesday.
According to the Turkish Cihan news agency, the operation, involving about 50,000 troops, armored vehicles and combat aircraft, is targeting Kurdish militants in 11 provinces in southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq.
"Three F-16 Falcon fighter-bombers...have carried out bombing raids on militant positions of terrorist group the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in northern Iraq," the agency said. "Artillery deployed at the border [with northern Iraq] has delivered 'pinpointed' strikes at designated targets."
Observers are not ruling out the possibility that the current operation will precede a full-scale invasion into northern Iraq, where up to 3,500 PKK separatists, poised to commit terrorist attacks in Turkey, are reportedly based."

Some estimates of the size of the Turkish forces range from 100,000 to a quarter million. Here's the giant headache for the US. One of the bogus reasons given for america to invade Iraq and even put that so-called Saddam on trial and hang him was that he gassed and killed a certain number of Kurds. When Turkey sends the full might of this invasion force into northern Iraq, killing Kurds and creating a refugee nightmare, is the US going to go to war with it's NATO partner or is it going to abandon the Kurds yet again like after the first Gulf Slaughter?
Just asking.
But of course, if everybody denies it's happening we'll just move on, nothing to see here.
