The first thing "I" would try to do, is "go through channels". So in this case, that would be the Turkish government asking the Iraqi government, to go after these guys.

Then I'd give you know, a week, maybe two - and if that didn't work, then I'd do "surveillance", to see if I could find these guys and where they were coming from. And then, the next thing I'd try, would be to nab 'em at the border. And 'course, knowing the Turks ( ), if they nab even one of those guys, they're gonna know "instantly" where all the rest of 'em are too, so....

Well, so if that didn't work, I'd do exactly what the Turks are doing, which is to start piling on the troops and do a few cross-border incursions just to put the fear of God into those idiots. I mean, these guys are terrorists, right? They blow stuff up - gasoline depots, government buildings, that kind of thing. I mean, if the Iraqi's aren't going to help, and their people are on you turf, you've got a right to protect yourself. Kinda the same "logic" the Israelis use, in a round-about kind of way.

'Course, if I were Bushie, I'd have a tight leash on these guys, I mean, I'd let 'em go "so far", and then I'd make 'em back off. You know, we're talking about a sovereign nation and all that, and there's already a war there, and the Turks are our allies, right? So we gotta help 'em, and not help 'em, at the same time. So what we do is, let 'em go "so far", and then say, "eh... that's far enough".

I think though, what you'll find is, that the Kurds are very smart people. They're not like those dumb Sunni's that took five years to figure out AQ was gonna kill them too - I mean, the Pesh Merga is a top-notch militia and all that, and Talibani is a Kurd, and I think you'll find that at the end of the day, these people will keep themselves in check.

I mean, the only other option is to let Turkey walk into northern Iraq, and I don't think the US'll let 'em do that. You know, like, that would be the end of any hope Bushie has of claiming any kind of "success", right?
