I see, so the terrorists were operating autonomously in Iraq. Got it.

Kirma is not within the no-fly zone. Kirma, aka Khurma or Khurmal is just north east of Halabja, at the bottom right portion of this map. The no-fly-zone is at the 36th parallel, well above Kirma, at the top of this map. lib.utexas.edu (you will need to expand the image to regular size) And it was near Kurdish areas, but not controlled by the Kurds, as you stated and is shown in this map: lib.utexas.edu It is remote, but hardly a no-mans-land, Iraqi military was operating all over Kurdish areas including above the no-fly zone. Iraq's military could have easily taken care of Kirma, had they wanted to. You need to stop getting your news from ihategeorgebush.com. But that's what I love about you guys, you really do not know what you are talking about. And BTW, If the US had taken action against Iraq, at a time when the US is negotiating with the UN et al, it most certainly would have had consequences to trying to form a coalition. This was before BEFORE CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION, while we are trying get everybody to act together, and then to act unilaterally? well I can just hear the howls.
