Turkey and Iran Ally Against Kurd Oil Wealth
2006-08-14
The world's deepest oil fields are believed to be in Kurd majority sections of Iraq, and only 15% of the country has been fully surveyed for oil. All the more reason why the Iranian terrorist entity wants to destablize Kurdistan (Iraq). All the more reason why we must have regime change in Iran. All the more reason why the we-don't-do-that mentality is moronic.

...Turkey wants to destabilize the area further by starting a war against the Kurds and occupying Southern Kurdistan because the Turkish government feels threatened by the flourishing economy and stability that Kurds have fostered. They fear that these successes will incite the Kurds in Turkey to seek federalism too. Turkey is pressuring the U.S. to support its action against PKK and is accusing the U.S. of having a double standard policy with regard to the Kurdish issue. Turkey is drawing an analogy between the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is supported by the U.S., and opposing action against PKK, which Turkey and Washington both consider to be a terrorist organization. The U.S. ambassador in Ankara Ross Wilson, has noted that the connection Turkey is attempting to draw is a falsehood and completely arbitrary. He stated: "These are two different cases, they should be judged from different perspectives"

#2  You're right 2x4, all roads lead to Moolah central. Everything else built on a house of cards.

#1  Destabilize Iran, break it apart and join southern and eastern Kurdistan as an independent entity. (I think that Azeris would like a Greater Azerbaijan too).

As for western (Turkish) Kurdistan, hmmm... either Turks would agree to federal arrangement at some point, or Turkey may become a bit smaller.
