More on the Turks and Kurds.
In this Iraqslogger piece on metrics, Robert Pelton makes a very interesting point. With all the tensions between the Turks and Kurds, the Kurds in Iraq have a substantial number of troops (2 brigades?) out of the Kurdish region participating in "the surge" in Baghdad.
If the Turks do want to go into Kurdish Iraq, they have about a three month window while those troops are in Baghdad.
And, what would happen to "the surge" if those Kurdish troops were suddenly pulled back north?
Again, I don't think the Turks are planning to invade at this point, but with all the tension along the border, an incident could change the dynamics rapidly.
Later: (IHT) Iraqi PM warns Turkey against military incursion into northern Iraq.
(AP) Gates warns Turkey not to invade Iraq
(AP) The PKK vows to resist invasion.
