WASHINGTON and ANKARA - Iraq’s Kurdish President Jalal Talabani says Iraq can intervene Turkey’s, Iran’s and Syria’s domestic issues, but they did not do till now. Talabani further warned that Iraq's patience was wearing thin.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani warned in Washington D.C. that Iraq can "make trouble" for its neighbors (Turkey, Iran and Syria) if they do not stop interfering in his country's internal affairs.

In an interview to air on National Public Radio on Tuesday, Talabani said Syria, Iran and Turkey were interfering and warned that Iraq's patience was wearing thin. Turkey has been accusing Talabani and Barzani, another Kurdish leader in Iraq, of supporting the PKK, terrorist organization making military attacks against Turkish, Iranian and Syrian targets. The organization is considered terrorist by Iraqi, American, Turkish and EU laws.

1. Easy to be tough when you have the US Army at your beck and call

Why aren't our soldiers laying down arms and hijacking planes out of that shit? They must know they are being used by idiots and wannabe kings.

2. Just another little complication the US overlooked

The fact that invading Iraq would, among otehr things, exacerbate the already tense Kurdish issue in the region is one of those little details the Bush administration overlooked.

When knowledgable people said the Iraq War was opening Pandora's Box back in 02-03, they weren't just whistling Dixie.
