Fueling Armageddon

From the website Kurdistan - the Other Iraq:

Have you seen the Other Iraq?

It's spectacular.
It's peaceful.
It's joyful.
Fewer than two hundred US troops are stationed here.
Arabs, Kurds and westerners all vacation together.

Welcome to Iraqi-Kurdistan!

I wouldn't get my tickets just yet if I were you.

Several thousand Turkish troops crossed into northern Iraq in pursuit of Kurdish guerrillas early yesterday. The incursion, though limited in scope, gives the crisis in Iraq a new twist.

I wonder if that had anything to do with Iraq's president al-Maliki refusing to sign a treaty with the Turks.

Four suicide bombers hit Kurdish Yazidi communities in northwest Iraq with nearly simultaneous attacks on Tuesday, killing at least 175 people and wounding 200 others, the Iraqi military said.

Surely there's a good excuse to invade Iran mixed up in there somewhere.
