BAGHDAD -- A senior U.S. military official says U.S. forces jointly patrol with the Iraqi Army and Kurdish regional government forces in disputed areas and coordinate with Iraq and Turkey about crossborder attacks by Kurdish rebels, RFE/RL's Radio Free Iraq reports. Major General Jeffrey Buchanan, spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq, told RFE/RL on September 1 that "our governments -- the Iraqi government, the Turkish government, and the U.S. government -- have been in coordination to deal specifically with what they see as a threat to the people of Iraq and the people of Turkey...[but] there is no [known] coordination from the Iranian government with Iraq in this regard." Turkish forces have made several bombing raids inside Iraq in recent weeks to attack Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) rebels who they say are carrying out terrorist attacks in Turkey. The PKK -- which is considered a terrorist organization by many countries -- is seeking to establish an autonomous Kurdish state. READ MORE Source: Radio Free Europe
Maybe they could start by asking their friends the British and Israelis to stop suppling weapons to the PKK. That would help!
no need for US help , Turkey needs no help . Grant Kurdish autonomy and PKK will dissolve . but then US will have piles of stock and dusted weapons tanks and aircraft .
