How come little is said about Turkey killing the Kurds?
2007-10-21 03:45:09 · update #1
Turkey's problem with the Kurds has been going on much longer that this war... It even predates Saddam's take over of Iraq.. It actually dates back to the Ottoman Empire and it's fall... The problem won't be solved soon.

Eruidiot.....
A better question would be why you always use Marines in your little made up stories. Did a US Marine beat your @ss one day for opening your mouth or something?
Everyone can tell these stories are made up, they are not that creative.
I am a retired Marine and will answer your question.
Turkey wants to have the ability to locate members of the PKK which is a Kurdish terrorist organization that operates in Turkey and then runs back into Iraqi Kurdistan.
The Iraqi government should be taking care of this not Turkey but they aren't so...
Plus Iraqi Kurdistan is one of the major successes in the Iraqi operation and well democrats cannot stand that. So they do things like pass an act of congress stating that Turkey committed genocide against the Armenian population in WW1. They pass this non-binding act simply to slap the face of the one major ally we have in the Mid-East Turkey, and they do so so that Turkey will invade Iraqi Kurdistan and destabilize the region.
Now the question is "why would the democrats want to pass an act like this even though they know it will anger Turkey and make them want to take matters into their own hands in regards to the PKK?"
Answer: They want the Iraqi operation to fail simply because it would help their political agenda.
These are not the kind of people you want to vote into office.

The Marine said "YO! ERUDITE TROLL DUDE, IF YOU DON'T WANT A REPEAT CHILI BURGER ATTACK ON YOUR INFLAMED HEMORRHOIDS THEN YOU WILL CEASE AND DESIST ABOUT SPREADING FAKE
PROPAGANDA AND DISINFORMATION.
What another countries intention is in in dealing with P.K.K. terrorists who infiltrated Turkish territory to attack the Turkish Military, is strictly for them to decide it has nothing to do with any Marine.
DIYARBAKIR, Turkey (AFP) - Turkey on Sunday pledged strong action against Kurdish separatists after 12 Turkish soldiers and 23 rebels were killed in a clash in the southeast of the country.

Turkey's President Abdullah Gul, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and top ministers and military leaders were to meet Sunday to decide a response to the attack which Turkey blamed on Kurdistan Workers' Party (P.K.K.) rebels.
The P.K.K. said it had captured some Turkish soldiers in the fighting.
The government is ready to use the parliamentary authorisation it obtained Wednesday to conduct a cross-border military strike against PKK bases in northern Iraq, Erdogan said.
"We will make a decision at the end of our discussion on what sort of a step we will take," Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul.
While he again indicated that there would be no rush to carry out an incursion, the Iraqi parliament in Baghdad passed a motion condemning Turkey's threat to stage a raid in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region.
The United States is also worried about any action that could destabilize the relatively peaceful northern Iraq.
"With respect to the cross-border operation, we will take all necessary steps within the framework of the authorisation," Erdogan said. "We will act in a cool-headed manner."
The Turkish general staff said in a statement that fighting erupted after a large group of PKK rebels infiltrated from northern Iraq and attacked the soldiers shortly after midnight Saturday.
Sixteen Turkish soldiers were wounded in the fighting near the village of Daglica, in a mountainous region abutting the Iraqi border in Hakkari province.
Clashes were continuing, with helicopters providing air cover, the army said. Troops were monitoring the rebels' escape routes and heavy artillery was pounding 63 likely targets, according to the military.
A leading member of the PKK said in northern Iraq that Kurdish rebels captured Turkish soldiers in fierce fighting in the Iraqi border area.
"There were clashes between the two sides. We killed a large number of them. We took a group of Turkish soldiers as prisoners," P.K.K. leader Abdul Rahman al-Chadirchi told A.F.P.
Hours after the attack, 10 civilians were injured when a mine also blamed on P.K.K. rebels exploded as a minibus drove past near Daglica, Turkish sources said.
Several analysts, among them retired soldiers, predicted that a Turkish military operation in northern Iraq could be imminent, but Erdogan deplored the comments as "alarmist."
In Baghdad, the Iraqi parliament condemned Turkey's moves to launch an attack.
"Iraq's parliament unanimously votes to condemn the threat of using force to solve the dispute. It feels that the Turkish parliament's decision to use force does not boost bilateral relations," the motion said.
Iran urged Turkey to opt for diplomatic means to resolve the dispute.
"Diplomatic means should be used and dialogue should continue between Iraq and Turkey," foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini told reporters in Tehran.
Ankara says some 3,500 P.K.K. fighters are in bases in northern Iraq, which they use as a springboard for attacks on Turkish territory.
It says the rebels are supported by Iraqi Kurdish leaders, a charge the Iraqi Kurdish administration strongly denies.
Last week, Erdogan called for urgent action by Washington and Baghdad to crack down on P.K.K. bases, saying that Ankara had no more time to lose with "empty words".
But he also said that his talks with U.S. President George W. Bush next month in Washington would be crucial in determining Ankara's course of action concerning a cross-border operation.
Baghdad and Washington both oppose unilateral Turkish military action in northern Iraq.
Authorities from the autonomous Kurdish government in the region have said they will rebuff any Turkish attack on their territory.
Faced with rising rebel violence, Turkey says it is running out of options other than military action as neither the United States nor Iraq have done enough to stamp out the rebel bases.
More than 37,000 people have been killed since 1984 when the P.K.K., branded a terrorist group by much of the international community, took up arms fighting for self-rule in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast.
