ANKARA - Turkey's army chief on June 5 said that Turkey and Iran were coordinating raids on the northern Iraq-based Kurdish separatists, NTV television reported.

"With Iran we made coordinated attacks. If necessary we will do it again. We are sharing intelligence with Iran," General Ilker Basbug told reporters in Ankara.

Basbug said the two countries had launched simultaneous attacks on the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) and their allies, the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), from within their respective borders. He said the attacks took place more than one to two months ago.

yea thats just bad all the way around...

This is bad. However, terrorism is terrorism and the Kurds had better get their Kurdish brethren under control or they are at risk of facing a real a$$ whippin' by Iran and Turkey.

Similarly, the Palestinians need to apply the same rigor to the radicalized people in Gaza.

well the kurds do not support the ppk.... unlike the palastines they do support terrorism and terrorist groups... hell the elected a terrorist group to lead them.....

also the pkk lives in the mountains away from kurd populations....

Good point! You know what would be SWEET?

What if the Kurds offered to join in the operations with Iran and Turkey?

DAMN TALK ABOUT HEADLINES! Would that blow some skulls or what?

well they dont like or trust turky too much either... turky has tried to wipe them off the face of the earth too many times....same for iran... why turky and iran going in there and doing this is really a bad idea... but it has already happen and well anyone has a list on the death toll from that???

Let's see:
1. Turkey is our NATO ally.
2. Turkey refused to allow us to stage troops for the invasion.
3. Iran is our adversary.
4. Turkey and Iran are allied.
5. The Iraqi government turned to Iran to broker a cease fire rather than the US.
6. We’re threatening Iran with military action.

With these stars in alignment, it’s not a news story, it’s bad astrology.

I expect Turkey and Iran to look out for their respective best interests.. whatever that may entail.. same as the Chinese, Koreans, or euros...
