Cheney Perpetual War Scenario May Now Bring in Turkey
October 28, 2007 (LPAC)--With 100,000 troops on the border of northern Iraq, 
Turkey said today that a military solution to the problem of Kurdish 
separatists using bases in Iraq is on the table. 
A Turkish invasion of Iraq would be the next link in the chain of the British 
Empire perpetual war scenario, which lies behind the post-9/11 war drive of 
Cheney and the U.S. neo-Con dupes. The problem of the tens of millions of 
ethnic Kurds scattered through Turkey, Iran, and northern Iraq was one of the 
powder kegs which Britain's Arab Bureau built into the 1916 Sykes-Picot 
agreement for the apportionment of spheres of interest in the Ottoman empire. 
Now it is detonating. 

Turkish-Iraqi talks broke down on Friday, and the Turkish army sent more 
equipment to the border Sunday, according to Reuters news service. Turkey's 
100,000 troops are backed by jet fighters, helicopter gunships, and tanks. Army 
sources said Sunday that preparations are now almost complete. 

Ankara has demanded Iraq hand over members of the Kurdistan Workers Party 
(PKK), whom they blame for more than 30,000 Turkish deaths since the start of 
the separatist campaign in 1984. 

The leader of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, Masoud Barzani, refuses to 
hand over anyone "no matter the cost." However, he said he would not allow PKK 
officials to use the Kurdistan region for attacks on Turkey. 

Iranian President Ahmadinejad told Iraq that he supported a crackdown on the 
PKK, but wanted a peaceful solution. Iran has also faced cross border attacks 
by the PKK.
