The first time it appeared that we had a done deal, the Kurds started screaming bloody blue murder, and it appears that the Bush administration backtracked, and the deal fell apart

CB, my understanding is that we had already promised the Kurds that under no circumstances would we permit Turks to enter.

Then we were going to ... hence, their bloody blue murder.

For one, I can't blame them .... if we weren't speaking with one clear voice, we should have been.

Whoever wanted the Kurds must have prevailed on whoever wanted the Turks that we could do it without the Turks but not without the Kurds, and that has proven to be the correct assessment.


We just have to remember that once this is over, the Kurds are not going to be our best buds. Their agenda does not match up with ours. They will try to set up for a breakaway. I would if I were them.
