Now then, now then

ORAC:

Thanks for the interesting link. It's very rare that I agree with anything that Novak has to say, but this is good. If true, this report feels like the Bush Admininstration's version of minimum pain required to avoid an all-out Turkish "intervention" in Kurdistan (nb, not "invasion", as that's naughty).

The problem is the "what's next?" question. If this report is correct, the Administration doesn't expect to kill all 4,000 PKK fighters, so how do they expect this to end? With the survivors throwing down their weapons and returning peacefully to Turkey? Hard to imagine...
