"ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkish warplanes hit Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq early Sunday, Turkey's military said, the first such attack since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. An Iraqi official said the planes attacked several villages, killing one woman.

Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek urged Kurdish separatists to surrender and said Turkey would press ahead with operations against rebel bases in northern Iraq "with determination when necessary."

The attack came a month after the United States promised to share intelligence with Turkey about the Kurdistan Workers Party, which seeks autonomy for the Kurdish minority in southeastern Turkey and has hideouts in northern Iraq."



Isn't Turkey an ally of ours and aren't their planes supplied by us?

1. It's okay with the US because the Kurdish Workers Party is

far Left. We, the good old USA, don't mind if those Kurds, the same ones that were exploited as poster children for Bush's war against the oppressive Saddam, are now butchered by Turkey. They threaten the foundation of the hugely successful neo-con/free market theocracy that they've worked so hard for!

2. The Kurds suffered so much under Saddam

Just how does bombing their villages and killing Kurdish women help us fight Al Quaeda in Iraq?

7. The Kurds are not to be trusted.

I am a little confused about the Kurds. I don't trust them.

And Turkey bombing Iraq, looks like the Kurds are double-crossed.
