>>>Turkey's consent, there is no invasion.<<<

I think the difficulty here is the US can't invade Iraq without having the Kurds on board. The Kurds aren't going to be happy if the Turks are calling the shots for the north. The Turks seem to be holding out to move troops in far enough to occupy the Kurds territory, which the Kurds don't want. Meanwhile, whose gonna get the 500 oil fields to the North? Might Iran want some of that? And Iran has funny relationships with both the Kurds and the Turks.

You think Bush can figure this out? I don't. Heck, they can't even figure it out! Gotta admit, putting a war in the middle of this is perhaps more dangerous than the act of taking out Saddam.
