IRBIL, Iraq (AP) - Five Turkish fighter jets bombed suspected
Kurdish rebel hideouts in northern Iraq Monday, a senior Kurdish
official said. No casualties were reported.

The raid lasted one hour early Monday in an area inside Iraq
along the country's northern border with Turkey, said Jabbar
Yawar, an undersecretary at the ministry governing the Kurdistan
regional government's Peshmerga forces. The area includes the
towns of Khnera, Khwakurd and Sidakan in Irbil province, he said.

Yawar said there were no civilian or Peshmerga casualties in the
mostly abandoned area.

On Sunday, the Turkish military said troops killed 10 separatist
Kurdish rebels at the end of a three-day operation in southeastern
Turkey.

3. I sure hope that the Kurds didn't REALLY expect this administration

to stand up for 'em. I mean how many times can you be burnt before you learn? It's the old 'fool me once, fool me, I won't be fooled again' type of thing, isn't it?

This is Poopy bush**s son after all.

5. Well, I'm glad we are

getting ready to sell these guys nukes. Put a short end to the situation.

Wait a sec.

Weren't we upset at Hussein for killing Kurds?

Well I guess they are our Kurds to kill, or we can give them to our friends for target practice.
