October 28, 2007 (LPAC)--With 100,000 troops on the border of northern Iraq, Turkey said today that a military solution to the problem of Kurdish separatists using bases in Iraq is on the table.

A Turkish invasion of Iraq would be the next link in the chain of the British Empire perpetual war scenario, which lies behind the post-9/11 war drive of Cheney and the U.S. neo-Con dupes. The problem of the tens of millions of ethnic Kurds scattered through Turkey, Iran, and northern Iraq was one of the powder kegs which Britain's Arab Bureau built into the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement for the apportionment of spheres of interest in the Ottoman empire. Now it is detonating.

Turkish-Iraqi talks broke down on Friday, and the Turkish army sent more equipment to the border Sunday, according to Reuters news service. Turkey's 100,000 troops are backed by jet fighters, helicopter gunships, and tanks. Army sources said Sunday that preparations are now almost complete.

Ankara has demanded Iraq hand over members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), whom they blame for more than 30,000 Turkish deaths since the start of the separatist campaign in 1984.

The leader of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, Masoud Barzani, refuses to hand over anyone "no matter the cost." However, he said he would not allow PKK officials to use the Kurdistan region for attacks on Turkey.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad told Iraq that he supported a crackdown on the PKK, but wanted a peaceful solution. Iran has also faced cross border attacks by the PKK.
