"What concerns me are the 250,000 turkish troops massed on the border with Iraq."

Oh, that concerns the Kurds plenty, too!

"...they could go into Iraqi Kurdistan and we could do nothing about it."

Oh... we could do PLENTY. The question remains though: would we be prepared to bomb a NATO 'ally' to defend another 'ally'.

That is why the Kurds need us so much though. Only the US has that kind of influence with Turkey.
