#2 He's, of course, right. We need to sustain our presence until the Iraqis are fully capable of taking care of themselves. They live in a bad neighborhood.

#6 Gorb, I think the 's' is correct.

Turkey wouldn't mind a piece of the Kurdish area on the pretense that they're fighting the PKK.

#7 "I think that our neighbors must understand that our patience is limited," he said, refusing to single out countries but adding "we mean all of them."

He's absolutely correct not to single any out and to say "we mean all of them". The only countries bordering on Iraq that want them to succeed are Kuwait and Jordan.

#8 Is this another speech?

If so, he's starting to warn them on a regular basis.

#9 Turkey wouldn't mind a piece of the Kurdish area on the pretense that they're fighting the PKK.

Maybe. I could imagine Turkey going in there to do a little housekeeping, but I don't think they'd stay if they didn't have to. They want very little to do with the Kurds, and I don't think the Kurdish area has any oil. Then again, there's Cyprus.
