We sided with the Kurds in Northern Iraq, and even went in because Saddam was using mustard gas against them in the early 90's...........now we are going to let Turkey invade and kill them? Because we favor Turkey over Iraq? Who is the PKK and why are we not protecting the Kurds? Is it just me or is all of this FUBAR?

kurds has been trouble to any nation since many many years. of course not all kruds are primative terrorists but that is a fact that kurds have been acting very bad in the international arena.
Before your pro-americanism and nation was exist, there was Turks and Kurds on earth and it was ottoman empire who was dominating 32 different nation including kurds. when the ottoman empire collapsed in 1923, kurds were allowed to stay in turkey, iraq and iraq (they were all under the control of ottoman turks) so today kurds wanna have a free kurdistan by gettin some land from turkey which is impossible of course.
so if u like kurds that much why dont u give some lands from usa? or do a better thing, just give some lands to the natives who would be happy to establish their own country :=)
I know what i say is pointless as much as what you asked was pointless

Long story. Google Kurds... Kurdish people
Kurdish Worker's Party (PKK) the bad ones.
*NOTE: there are more good ones than rebels!
There is a large group moving from inside Turkey and into Iraq. They just blew up a bridge and killed Turkish soldier's. Some Turks have been kidnapped. But this is centuries in the making.
I am just as confused as you are. The "Kurds" in Northern Iraq recently opened 5 closed borders to Iran. Claiming don't blame us for what the US did. Saddam slaughtered them. They are in so many countries? We do protect them. And some we can not. How the hell you tell the difference is beyond me.

Terrorists - be they Kurds or Sunni or Shiite or American or whatever - are still terrorists.
Try not to paint all Kurds with the same brush because of the actions of a few.

Politicians seem to blow in the direction of the wind. I agree with you.
