#1 Hey, Turkey, why so quiet ? That bile in your throat is called "consequences of your actions".

#2 The Kurdish advance in the Taqtaq region came less than 24 hours after its forces fell back along another front: conceding more than 18km along the main road from Erbil to Kirkuk.

I think the Kurds have realized that frankness, honesty, and the ability to admit problems doesn't cause heart attacks, baldness, or erectile dysfunction.

#3 The almost 15km advance by the US-backed Kurdish militia was unchallenged but slowed by dense minefields left by Saddam Hussein's troops

As I recall, one of the young Kennedy's (can't remember: the rapist or the spendthrift) is active in some anti-landmine organization. They've been yammering for years about our landmines. Wonder if they have any protests planned about Sammmy's landmines?

#4 Why do Turks presume to dictate which cities Kurds are allowed to go into or not? in particular, two cities with large Kurdish communities, two cities located in Iraq not Turkey. Is it all about the oiiiiil for the Turks?

#5 Instapundit had a couple of interesting links regarding the Kurds yesterday.

Might even send Murat into a tizzy, if it plays out like this.
