'Greater Ottoman Empire', eh?

Well, time will tell. (They already said they were interested in the Turkmen group getting control of the oil fields around Mosul).

Just don't expect anyone in the middle east to stand up and lead the cheers for an American-led invasion of Iraq... no one in Europe, either.

At least - as I've previously said - not without an overt act by Saddam to offer a pretext.

I think that's "Get real" enough.

Look instead for more America-led behind-the-scene efforts at subversion.
