The Bush Administration is considering air strikes, including cruise missiles, against the Kurdish rebel group PKK in northern Iraq.
The move would be an attempt to stave off a Turkish invasion of that country to fight the rebels.
President George Bush spoke with Turkish President Abdullah Gul by phone yesterday in an effort to ease the crisis.
Does this President believe that "diplomacy" is synonymous with "air strikes"?
The Kurds are almost completely reliant on the American military support. Doesn't that give us a lot of clout to negotiate with them? Why the hell would we automatically start bombing the people that our Americans soldiers have been dying to liberate?
I canot believe that the Kurds are not willing to talk to the country that saved their asses about the country that they are pissed at. Somebody send Jesse Jackson in there for God's sake!
The Bush family has a history of abandoning the Kurds.
