"The United States is not only giving active support, but they also take
part in the operations," PKK commander Bahoz Erdal told the Firat news
agency. Erdal charged that some Iraqi Kurdish groups "are also involved in
this ploy" and pointed an accusing finger at Iraqi President Jalal Talabani,
a Kurd. "Jalal Talabani's attitude in this offensive is very dangerous. We
have information that he has even invited the Turkish army to Qandil,a major
PKK stronghold." he said, reported AFP

Weekend air raids were the biggest Turkish incursion since the US seized
Baghdad in 2003. But their significance is more political than military.
They mark the moment when Washington and Ankara kissed and made up.
Buyukanit,
the chief of the terrorist state of Turkey, was less coy. "America
gave intelligence. But more importantly, America opened Iraqi air space to
us. By opening Iraqi air space, America gave its approval to this
operation."
