US official: Turkey should not enter south Kurdistan
Turkish forces will enter south Kurdistan, says Turkish officialLondon (KurdishMedia.com) The US administration believes that Turkish military should not move its forces into south Kurdistan, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said yesterday.
Asked whether the US would allow Turkish troops to push deeper into south Kurdistan than they are positioned now along the buffer zone, Fleischer said, "Our position on this, and this has been made clear to the government of Turkey, is that no outside forces other than those under coalition command should enter Iraq."
Kurds must stand as one united nation against Turkish intervention of south KurdistanAnkara (KurdishMedia.com) Turkey~{!/~}s Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin has confirmed that his country will dispatch troops to south Kurdistan, despite the objections of both the U.S. and Kurdish parties.
Speaking on the Turkish TV channel NTV today, Sahin said that the deployment was a humanitarian one, aimed at preventing the wave of refugees that occurred in the wake of the 1990-91 Gulf War.
"We can take this step once the parliament approves the motion,~{!1~} he said. The Turkish Parliament is today meeting to debate the sending of Turkish troops overseas and the granting of access to Turkish airspace to foreign forces.
"Our soldiers will cross the border only for humanitarian purposes,~{!1~} Sahin said. ~{!0~}If there is a refugee wave towards our border, we plan to stop the refugees on the other side of the border and accommodate them in humanitarian support centres there.~{!1~}
Sahin denied that Washington would object to the deploying of Turkish forces in south Kurdistan. "Undoubtedly, the Foreign Ministry was in contact with the United States while the motion was being prepared,~{!1~} he said. ~{!0~}Therefore, there will not be any problem."
...WTF is going on here?London (KurdishMedia.com) 20 March 2003: The Turkish Parliament is currently discussing whether to send Turkish troops into South Kurdistan. This time, to keep the Kurds quiet, the invasion will be under pretext of "humanitarian aid."
However, Kurds know very well that the only humanitarian aid Turkey can offer to Kurds is extermination of their language, identity, culture, habitat, etc.
Many believe that Turkish troops will move 25 miles into South Kurdistan. This will be sufficient enough to cut the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) forces from every international border, i.e. Iran and Syria, cutting escape and assistance routes. If it survives until then, the Iraqi regime would be supporting such a move as well. Turkey will then implement its "disarmament" massacre of Kurds and occupy oil rich Kurdish cities of Kirkuk and Mosul. Thus, the first steps will have been taken for the establishment of another "Cyprus".
It should also be noted that such a move would not be made without a green signal from the U.S. Such a conspiracy against the Kurdistan de facto state would not only reveal a repeated betrayal of the Kurds, but also be a lethal blow to Kurdish aspirations and struggle for independence with consequences remaining for decades.Comment

Oil Prices Continue Plunge to 3-Month Lows
Some quotes:
"U.S. crude futures for May delivery fell $1.08 to $28.80 having earlier hit a three-month low of $28.00 a barrel. Benchmark Brent crude oil fell $1.20 to $25.55 per barrel by evening in London, having touched a three-month low of $25.30."
"Oil has shed a quarter of its value in the last week on a massive bet by investment funds that war will end quickly, without causing major damage to oil installations."Comment

ABC News reporter in the field with the 1st Marine Division says over satellite phone that they have been going as fast as possible from the border for the last 7 hours in the desert (I guess the southern route from Kuwait to Baghdad).
They have been passing Iraqi military trucks without incident and they are taking no prisoners. They have passed several oil fields that have not been sabotaged.
City lights in the distance.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
