Talabani sitting on the fence...
One of the essential, or at least desirable, players in any U.S. action against Iraq shows signs of being bought...The leader of one of the two Kurdish factions controlling northern Iraq said on Wednesday he would not offer blind support for U.S. military action to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "As to the attack of the United States, we are not yet assured what will be the purpose of this attack," Jalal Talabani, leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), told reporters after meeting Turkish officials in Ankara. Talabani visited Soddy Arabia just about a month ago. Wonder what they offered him? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-08-09 |
