It seems now that Turkey's parliament has <a href="click here military action</a> against the PKK in Iraqi Kurdistan, they intend to waste no time getting down to business. Turkey initiated airstrikes on Kurdish positions today. From the <a href="click here Times</a>;<blockquote>Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships reportedly attacked positions of Kurdish rebels along its rugged border with Iraq on Wednesday, as Turkey's military stepped up its anti-rebel operations.<p>Several F-16 warplanes loaded with bombs took off from an air base in southeastern city of Diyarbakir, private Dogan news agency and local reporters said. The warplanes and helicopter gunships bombed mountain paths in Turkey used by rebels to infiltrate from neighboring Iraq, Anatolia reported.</p><p>On Sunday, Turkish helicopter gunships penetrated into Iraqi territory and troops have shelled suspected Kurdish rebel positions across the border in Iraq, a government official said Wednesday.</p><p>U.S.-made Cobra and Super Cobra attack helicopters chased Kurdish rebels three miles into Iraqi territory on Sunday but returned to their bases in Turkey after a rebel ambush killed 12 soldiers near the border, the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.</p></blockquote><p></p>The illegal and immoral debacle Bush created continues to fester. How much longer until things unravel and wholesale warfare breaks out?
