Well how much Kurdish oil will Turkey let pass after Turkey attacks "Kurdistan" ? How much Kurdish oil will flow south to Basra (no pipeline anyway) when the central Iraqi government considers the oil "Iraqi" and not "Kurdish". The US is against Kurdish oil going out via Iran. Ditto more or less for Syria. Without a US guarantee for transport safety south via Iraq, the Kurds can't ship their oil. So who will Washington back ? The Kurds and alienate everyone else, or everyone else and alienate the Kurds. The Kurds once again will get the shaft. The last thing anybody but Washington wants is a Kurdistan. The limits of US power are now obvious to the Turks. They hold a fist full of aces, but all the players at the table have guns too. Nevertheless, the Turks will attack the Kurdish PPK in Northern Iraq, and that will envelope the Kurds as a whole. Big problems coming because Washington doesn't care about Kurdish terrorists who don't threaten US forces. wg PS - guess who is Kurdistan's biggest arms supplier (via third parties) ?
