Turkey edges out of Iraq

The Iraqi government is saying Turkey is pulling back out of Iraq. By their current reports, the Turks killed 237 PKK members. Estimates put the number of PKK trained at around 4,000-5,000.

So, here we are again. Israel and Hamas or Hezbullah, NATO and the Taleban, Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers..... Did this operation accomplish enough to offset the bolstering effect it will have on the PKK? You have to figure it brought in new recruits.

And I'm willing to speculate that the 237 killed did not include the significant leadership.
