ANKARA, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Kurdish guerrillas could strike Turkish oil pipelines if Turkish troops attack them, a pro-rebel news agency quoted one of their leaders as saying on Friday.

"We have no specific policy regarding pipelines but we are currently waging a defensive war... Since pipelines that cross Kurdistan provide the economic resources for the Turkish army's aggression, it is possible that the guerrillas target them," the Firat news agency quoted Murat Karayilan as saying.

This is the Kurd, who lost their child who lives in the mess that george built.

This is the Turk, who shelled the Kurd that lost their child who lived in the mess that george built.

This is the Yank, who bought the oil, that paid the Turk who shelled the Kurd who lost their child that lived in the mess that george built.

This is the blowback that killed the yank, who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

This is the spy, who predicted the blowback that killed the yank who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

This is the Rove, who outed the spy, who predicted the blowback that killed the yank who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

This is the press who shielded the Rove, who outed the spy, who predicted the blowback that killed the yank who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

this is representative who represents the corporation that bought the press who shielded the Rove, who outed the spy, who predicted the blowback that killed the yank who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

this is the American who didn't vote which resulted in the representative who represents the corporation that bought the press who shielded the Rove, who outed the spy, who predicted the blowback that killed the yank who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

this is the apathy of the american who didn't vote which resulted in the representative who represents the corporation that bought the press who shielded the Rove, who outed the spy, who predicted the blowback that killed the yank who bought the oil, that paid the Turk, who shelled the child that lived in the mess that george built.

hmm. Maybe it's the Iranian "October suprise" A job was talking about ;)

[Flabbergasted]

9. Now Turkey will have to invade.

[acmavm]

8. And that big KABOOM you hear is the whole area going up in

smoke and flames.

It's been a while coming, but its not like it wasn't predicted. Or expected.

[Botany]

10. Who couldn't see this coming?

[Fovea]

11. C. Rice, G. Bush.

D Cheney, OTOH, made a killing.

[Javaman]

13. oh they saw it coming, who is selling them their weapons? nt

[Javaman]

12. And that is what this has been about all along. the turks don't like the

kurds controlling the valve. It's never had anything to do with the PKK. that's just the bullshit cover story.

[tekisui]

14. I read somewhere that the Iraqis are going to go after the Kurds, as well.

Turkey, Iraq and Iran is shelling. This will be the "spreading to a Regional War" that has been predicted for some time.

[Javaman]

15. Probably the Sunni's since they were dealt the crap hand when it comes

to the oil rich areas. Plus, it was the Sunni Arabs that displaced the Kurds in Kirkuk under Saddam.
No love lost there.

16. I saw an article along that line. The reason Turkey is saber rattling is

to get the Iraqi government to stand on their own,clean up their own house.
Police their own issues. Maybe not with the iron fist like Saddam used against the Kurds but the truth is,
Turkey doesn't want to invade. The Parliment is 'concerned' Iraq likes leaning on the occupier crutch and needs a nudge towards independance.
