#1 Am I reading that correctly? Are the Kurds getting Kirkuk?

Good for them. They've been carrying northern Iraq since the invasion, its time they get a reward.

#4 Turkey which fears a northward migration of Iraqi Kurds

WaPo really should invest in a map of Iraq. Kirkuk is south of the current Kurdish region.

#5 I support ethnic cleansing as an interim solution. Although no US regime would formally support same, the Tigris River is becoming the Sunni-Shiite dividing line in Baghdad. Military blogs have reported that US troops who facilitate protected movement of civilian ethnics, are not being targeted. Maintaining the status quo was not possible.

As for Turkey, Kurds are classified as "Mountain Turks."
