Turkey warns!
<font color=green>A day before he meets with President Bush, Turkey's prime minister said Tuesday that Iraq could be destroyed if Kurds are given autonomy there.</font>

<font color=green>Turkey strenuously opposes Kurdish autonomy. It fears that Kurdish control of oil-rich northern Iraq could lead to an independent state, possibly triggering uprisings in Kurdish regions of Turkey and other neighboring countries. Turkey fought Kurdish rebels for 15 years until 1999.

The Bush administration has stressed the need to keep Iraq intact. But it also has said that any decision on the Kurdish territory will have to be made by Iraqis after they regain control of the country. The U.S. occupation of Iraq is scheduled to end July 1. </font>

But of course, autonomy is just what the Kurds bargained for when they let the U.S. pretend to be the ones who caught Saddam. No wonder Bush wants to cut and run.
