Turkey Takes Down Kurdish Caves

More cave-dwellers threatening the world.

Sigh.

Reported in the usual obfuscating and distorting way.

I'm actually surprised it got a mention.

So what agenda is being pushed, readers?


"Turkish planes kill group of rebel Kurds in north" by C. Onur Ant, Associated Press | July 30, 2008

ISTANBUL - Turkish warplanes attacked Kurdish rebels in Iraq's north yesterday, killing a group of guerrillas gathered at a mountain cave, the military said.

The Turkish strikes, which a pro-Kurdish news agency said were followed by shelling from Iran, came two days after bombs planted in an Istanbul neighborhood killed 17 people. The government blamed Kurdish rebels, who denied involvement in the deadliest attack on civilians in five years.

Is that it? To make Iran an enemy that is attacking our ally, the Kurds, even as our ally, the Turks, bombs them?

Can't really call the Kurds paranoid, can you?

Not like they are saints, either: What about the shelling going the other way?

How come we never hear about that?

The military said in a statement yesterday that warplanes attacked rebel targets in northern Iraq, where the leadership of the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, is based. The statement said many of a 40-strong rebel group outside a cave at Mount Qandil were killed.

"Many of the terrorists outside the cave and an unknown number of others inside were neutralized," the statement read. The military often uses the phrase "neutralized" to refer to slain rebels. Ahmed Deniz, a rebel spokesman in northern Iraq, said by telephone that the Turkish bombing lasted over an hour but he said there were no casualties or serious damage.

Firat News, a pro-Kurdish news agency, said the bombing was immediately followed by shelling by Iranian forces. Turkey's military has said Turkey and Iran at times coordinate strikes against Kurdish rebels who use bases in northern Iraq as a springboard for attacks on their countries.

WTF?!

Then WHY is IRAN an "enemy?"

Or why is Turkey a "friend?"

And what are the Kurds, exactly, other than being left out to dry?

A tool?

Maybe it serves them right for what (and with whom) they get get help from.

PKK rebels, who seek autonomy for Turkey's Kurds, have fought the Turkish state since 1984 in a war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives.

They never mention that it is MOSTLY DEAD KURDS in another example of TURKISH GENOCIDE!!!

I'm not typing it, readers; you know what the AmeriKan MSM is!

In recent months, Turkish warplanes have repeatedly attacked suspected rebel positions in northern Iraq, and launched a weeklong ground offensive there in February.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan appealed for unity after the main opposition leader called for a mass rally to protest the attacks in Istanbul. Monday's appeal by Deniz Baykal, a fierce opponent of Erdogan, reflected national outrage over the deadliest attack against civilians in Turkey in five years.

"Millions of our people should loudly condemn this," Baykal said, recalling huge gatherings in Spain in protest of 2004 Madrid train bombings. He offered no specific date or venue for the demonstration.

"Anyone who wants what's best for this country should wisely stand together against terrorism after putting aside their differences," Erdogan told fellow party members in the Parliament."

Gee, CUI BONO?!

It sounds like either you are "WITH HIM or AGIN HIM," doesn't it, readers?

And WHERE have we heard THAT BEFORE, 'eh, Americans?
