#2 Kirkuk shall belong to the Kurds. You will not for forsake them Three times. They are owed land via UN resolution (whatever that means anymore). So, there is the monkey in the wrench.

#3 Surely the Turks know better than to intervene militarily when the US has boots on the ground. We'd be forced to take a hand in things if that happened (hopefully, if there's any logic at all in the world, on the side of the Kurds).

The Turks may have a reputation for toughness, but I don't think they're anywhere close to the US Army and Marines, especially battle-hardened troops we have there.

#4 We owe the Kurds the right to live peacefully. The Kurds have demonstrated they can conduct affairs in a prosperous manner. These f**kin' Turks shit on us in 2003. I would tell them that if any of their soldiers are seen in kurdish territory we (US) will specifically see that they do not return.
