#1 Wrong analysis! Turkey and Iran want Kurd oil fields.

Turks and Iranians view the Bush government as weak and irresolute, and they feel they can act with impunity. That is their perception. I believe that Condi's recent innocuous salvation-through-diplomacy statements are smoke-screens. I believe it because no American President could possibly act so recklessly with American security in the balance. If Ahmadinejad is still alive by the end of September, then American's will want an end to the current wheel-spinning.

#2 Correct, SS3550, none of this is really about PKK, but all of it is about Kurdish resources in South Kurdistan.

The Bush government is weak and irresolute, as the recent UN cave-in on Hezbollah proved.

We will continue to see weakness and irresolution, especially now that the news is coming out that the Turkish Red Crescent has been actively supplying Hezbollah with arms and munitions from Iran. No one in Western media is going to touch this information.

More news is coming out on this in Kurdish blogs and through Kurdish media sources, in addition to the fact that there has been a LOT of activity against the Turkish intel types that have infiltrated South Kurdistan. There have been some successful attacks against the JITEM vermin in Turkish-occupied Kurdistan, and the evil mullahs are losing their military officers to PJAK as well.

I'm hoping that PKK will be able to attack one of these Iranian munition convoys in Turkish-occupied Kurdistan with some remote-controlled bombs. The secondary explosions will be spectacular--a belated 15 Tebax celebration, if you will.

#3 Azad, I hope you know what you are talking about and that it is not just a flight of fancy, on one hand. On another, hope no harm will come to Kurds in these dangerous times. Watch your backs, will ya?

As for US administration, I think you're misreading a bit. It was Israel that missed an opportunity for the first time (and hopefully for the last). There was not much US administration could do but find some way to push for the least harmful possible outcome under circumstances.
