The US has denied that it approved Turkish air strikes against Kurdish rebels in Iraq.

The denial follows claims by the Turkish military that the US opened northern Iraqi airspace for yesterday's operation.

2. If that was the case
Then we would have sent a few of our jets to shoot down the Turkish planes over Iraq. I did not see any mention of that.

Or do we not have complete air supremacy over the sky of Iraq?

Somebody needs to ask that at the Pentagon today.
