#1 Hopefully this is what the Turks were after, and all the rest was window dressing.

#2 There's a principle here. No matter whether we like the Turk or not and whether or not the Kurds have grievances, if we insist we have the 'right' to pursue and destroy those crossing the Syrian and Iranian borders to kill and destroy in Iraq, then that same justification must hold here. Trying to keep to principle is what separates us from other countries who routinely give it lip service or just being a Donk at home.

#3 As long as it is simply small cross border pursuit,that's OK. Its those armored divisions that give me worry.
