There is a potentially explosive situation evolving in the Northern Iraq area controlled by the Kurds. This region has for the most part been violence free. The war as a whole has been concentrated in the part of Iraq that lays south of Kirkuk. Now the Iraqi Arab majority is mounting attacks on civilians and strategic infrastructure targets of the Kurdish controlled area. Just Saturday a vital bridge that links the Kurdish region to Baghdad was destroyed by what is presumed to be members of the Iraqi Arab majority. On the same day many innocent Kurdish civilians were killed and/or injured by a sustained mortar attack mounted by the very same people.

Meanwhile Turkey has built up their troop strength on the Northern Iraq/Turkey border threatening to invade Kurdish Iraq on the pretense that it is to destroy alleged Kurdish terrorist camps that are located in Kurdish controlled Northern Iraq.

Will our fearless leader demand that the Turkey government pullback their troops and abandon any plans they might have to invade Iraq? Our will he sell the Kurds down the river like his daddy did to the Shia when he urged them to overthrow Hussein after the first Gulf War and then abandoned them to be slaughtered by forces loyal to Hussein? Want to take a guess as to what I think he'll do?

Update - I just found this on The Huffington Post..it is a report on a possible incursion into Northern Iraq by Turkish troops.
