Guardian: Turks will bring chaos, say Kurds

The Bush administration is in danger of scoring a disastrous own goal
with its decision to bring Turkish peacekeeping troops into Iraq, a Kurdish
leader has warned. Necirvan Barzani, prime minister of the Kurdistan
regional government in Irbil and a key US ally in the war to remove
Saddam Hussein, said the plan to bring Turkish soldiers to Iraq had needlessly
upset the pro-American Kurdish population in the north, and was also
opposed by Sunni and Shia Arab communities in central and southern
Iraq.
